Agility CMS Reviews & Product Details

I love that Agility gives us the ability to quickly iterate and build components. Changes are reflected extremely fast, allowing or team to make decisions on the go and adapt to new needs with fast turnarounds. Agility also has a great support team / community along with their documentation which makes it easy to find solutions if you're not acknowledged with the platform already. The support for multiple platforms / stacks is also an asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion the rough edges live in the media management section, which is a little confusing to use if your company has a large amount of content. Replacing assets can be a little inconsistent and hard to predict sometimes. Also, the folder structure is too simplistic for larger applications, and as far as you try to host assets through a CDN the day to day work is mostly done in Agility.

The most amazing part of using Agility CMS for projects is how flexible it is. I needed to use a Headless CMS for a legacy-website client to handle a lot of variable content. We were able to produce the content using our current setup, and we didn't have to 'redesign our wheel' so to speak. Using Agility CMS meant we could work with the tools we were already using for a front-end framework, and add dynamic content via modules and a customized content architecture setup. The customer support team was an invaluable asset as well in making sure this transition was smooth! Not every Headless CMS is this fast, flexible, and friendly. Agility CMS really cares about helping their customers succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's personally not anything I dislike about Agility CMS. It's flexible enough to use in many different circumstances, and it's exactly what I needed. The only thing I will say is that Agility CMS does err on the developer side heavily, so if you're dipping your toes in the water with Headless CMSs, it'd be smart to use their Gatsby starter and Netlify. If you're coming from the world of Wordpress [which is awful], you need to dabble first, because it's Agility CMS isn't an integrated CMS at all, and can be a challenge for people less technically savvy. That being said, they have excellent documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Agility is always ready to help and users can use slack or service desk.

I like the UI mostly.

I like that everything is configurable and there are so many possibilities to build any kind of structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are bugs that are so uncomfortable, but I understand that it's very normal. Every system has bugs))

I had some inconvenience with the new UI, I don't like how I can switch the instances. - https://help.agilitycms.com/hc/en-us/requests/58335

Also, maybe I don't know the system very well and that's why I have this thought in my mind, but I'll write anyway: I would prefer to improve user management, roles and permissions.

Also, the backup possibility will be a very advanced feature, because clients will always be frightened about it )) I noticed that there is no some "delete" history and I described it in this ticket - https://help.agilitycms.com/hc/en-us/requests/58264

And one more great suggestion will be GEO restrictions -https://help.agilitycms.com/hc/en-us/requests/58158 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agility is very easy to start with and their integration with next.js and Vercel for blog starters is very easy. Usually HEadless CMS and JAMstack dont offer this feature but it is very handy for my editors and content managers. Also editing assets is very easy. Like cropping and resizing photos. SEO feature is great too as well as Content Search." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's quite hard to dislike something that is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up content definitions and modules is easy. Shared content is great when you want to access a list in multiple areas/ways. Having models generated to make things more strongly-typed is nice in comparison to Umbraco's model.Value<type>("property") Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For my company a cloud-based CMS is fine, but for my side work I find them all (not just Agility) to be a bit pricey.

Sometimes content syncing fails with no clear reason as to why.

Since multiple environments share the same instance making a change can break production. I realize this is common with a lot of cloud-based CMS'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agility CMS is fluid and the learning curve is easy to pick up on. The layout and where to find pages, assets, and code, makes it fast to locate what you need to find. The customer service is top-notch as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agility CMS creates a gap between developers and digital marketers. It's great if you know HTML, CSS, and Javascript, but to tap into more advanced coding to create more dynamic pages, it would require some assistance on developers' end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to manage different pages of my website, now with new updates it has become even better, I can set a date to publish and unpublish pages and also a redirect link so I have perfect control over everything that happens on my site. Media & files section is also awesome, I get to upload my files and store them there so they can be used by everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still some modules that are kind of hard to work with, sometimes I work with sections within sections and to publish them is kind of a pain, other than that it is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is the product is a headless content management platform designed to make it fast and easy to build, manage, and maintain the content, wherever it needs to be. Being also a Cloud-based CMS that is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in a multi-tenant architecture enables users to create, customize, and manage websites, apps, eCommerce, and ticketing solutions from a central hub to deliver compelling experiences both on the front end and the back. Easy Setup and great content fetch API for headless CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplification of uploading files would be ideal - where all files are located in the Media & Documents section rather than uploaded directly to Shared Content modules. It is better to copy/paste handling of content from external programs (cleaning Word document formatting, etc.), similar to handling by WordPress and other simplified CMS would be helpful. They also need to improve on global content such as headers/footers, multi-language implementation, etc., would allow our developers more flexibility and reduce our time coordinating with Agility support and using BOH. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The combination of built-in features and front-end flexibility have been great. There's a significant productivity boost compared to our old CMS. The ability to review edits immediately after making them has been an asset. The global search functionality has also enhanced productivity. Being able to batch upload images has been a great help, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are certain features that require more steps than should be necessary, but overall, that's a very minor complaint and highly likely something that could be fixed with how we've set up our instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We came across Agility CMS just recently but it is really easy to learn and to start using, it's quite user-friendly.

We are dev shop from India and we also used Drupal and Acquia before. Agility CMS is great for developers, it really gives you plenty of creative freedom and has all the features we need to meet all kinds of client needs. We just like this headless CMS a lot, it is solid, simple and allows to hand off a project to a client after a quick and simple training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better documentation would be helpful. the help manual etc should be there.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agility CMS is an easy way to display information about a wide variety of programs with its module setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any CMS, there are a few bugs that come up with Agility when building or editing pages. But the support has been helpful so far making this a less frequent occurrence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and easy layout that gives lots of options and designs to choose from Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that we haven’t liked so far in our experience, but any issue we have had were resolved very quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We researched so many CMS options when we decided to rebuild our website. We ultimately chose Agility. It was a standout in terms of flexibility, ease of use, cost, and good basic built-in structure. It is has been easy to build out the components we need to express our content in ways that best suit our audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing- so far I don't have any complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the structure of the CMS and how all the modules work. It is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Loading time – it can be very slow at times

- The fact that you have to unpublish an item that has already been scheduled to go live at a certain date in order to reschedule it at a different date

- Limitations in the HTML editor in the Rich Text Area module. We should also be able to set the background to the colour we want and remain like that.

- How the HTML code doesn't work on the text fields for some modules

- How every module doesn't have an HTML editor

- When you save and publish an item the Staging status on top stays there even though the item is already published – which is confusing

- Bugs in general as I had issues with the CMS at my previous job as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used several other CMS types, and Agility seems to be the most adaptable while also have a clear, user-friendly interface that is mostly intuitive, even for a non-technical writer/editor like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I definitely need the assistance and expertise of my colleagues in IT and graphic design to fully utilize all of Agility's features and functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Agility CMS is a simple tool that can be learned quickly. I use it to manage our department's intranet pages. I like the tools and features it offers to quickly build web pages. It also allows you to add headlines and helpful links at the bottom of each page, which are nice tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it were easier to link to a bookmark on the same page instead of adding the #bookmark to the end of the URL manually. I don't think this is intuitive and would prefer the "link" button allow the option to link to a bookmark as well as a file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great for headless CMS implementation. It's been around for years and they are always evolving it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had wrote this review a few years ago I would have had lots to say, but recently, there isn't much I dislike about the product these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Development speed and creative flexibility along with world class service and support. We also are really happy about the transparency we have with the product road map and the latest release of it's headless architecture. This gives us even more flexibility when it comes to producing highly aesthetic experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We generally like all aspects of Agility as it helps both our ability to develop products quickly and helps our client team easily manage content. If we disliked anything it was originally it's reliance on .Net developers but now that Agility is headless, that is no longer a concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agility's flexibility makes it easy to integrate into any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think their interface is a little dated and awkward but that's getting better every release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to get set up and easy to use. I was able to create a basic page template and get a web site up in a matter of hours. Creating content definitions and modules for maintaining your website data is also really simple. If you need more complex data types features like Custome Fields you can create whatever you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say this is necessarily a dislike, but it would be nice if creating content for a dynamic page was done in a way that was similar to the module structure of a static page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That AgilityCMS is user-friendly and doesn't require any development and code-writing skills on our end. It allows our users to add pages and edit content at need. We are an online magazine and content management is very important to us. We have a lot of content to manage but not much time, nor the expertise, to deal with complex systems. So simplicity, page management, flexibility, and no prerequisite coding skills are our top reasons for using AgilityCMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. The WYSIWYG editor could perhaps be a bit better but it is pretty minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Main PRO for me is Page Management and Modules feature, other headless CMSs don’t offer this and it is critical for us, it allows marketing team and users to create what they need but under certain control of development team. It saves time for developers because we need only to develop a few page templates for each project, and then marketing team can be as creative as they need to be with page variations. It is a win win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They were historically .NET which was not ideal but now they are embracing JAMStack which is very cool.

Also, there is some room for improvement related to a user experience of the content manager. But I can see they make updates on the platform very often, coming up with cool features and improvement on the design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After their new update Agility dashboard has improved so much, I think it is easier to use. I love how you have pre-built modules that let you post your information in an easy way. You can also schedule publications and it helps a lot with SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was kinda difficult to use at first but it has improved on that regard, also there's an annoying delay when you override documents on the CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AgiltyCMS platform is easy to use making it easy for non technical people to add and edit content. The support staff is exceptional and anything our team needs is answered within a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From our experience, we have some limitations on designs and layout of templates. But maybe that is a good thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
