CKEditor along with it's big suite of plugins helps us in creating a feature that is a vital cog of our functionality. Customer Support has been good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has been a good journey all along, couple of areas of improvement as follows:-

CKEditor is easy to integrate and configure for basic use cases, but requires considerable amount of efforts to build custom solutions leveraging their package.

The learning curve is a bit steep for the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To use CK Editor as a formatable textarea, there is not much to do. It can easy be configured and support various of formatting options out of the box.

What helped us is, that it is expandable. If there isn't a feature, which CKEditor provides out-of-the-box (or buy their paid services), you can write your own plugins. Once you understood their events and what they provide, it is highly customizable. And if you can't figure out an issue yourself, the customer support has an open ear for you everytime. Since we are a paying customer, i can't tell anything about the customer support, if you use the free version.

The documentation has many examples and showcases, so it sould be easy for you to integrate it into your app.

Since we did our own plugins, we compile as well our own CK Editor on top of the standard one. It took a bit to understand, how we should do it, but an example project helped us with the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since everything went fine up until now (using it since 2019), i do not see any drawback.

The only thing i can remember is, that I asked for a feature and they declined, because this isn't on their roadmap right now. But hey, this is totally understandable. They should concentrate their work on what most of the users request... not just me :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used CKeditor as part of the development of an internal media workflow. The integrated features of CKeditor allowed us to enhance collaboration between users through the comments plugin, and also enabled us to integrate our own designs into the interface. We also developed custom plugins to meet our specific needs, and integrated a library to add documents linked to the HTML document. We are satisfied with the product.

The price remains quite high, and it is unfortunate that some features or plugins require an additional payment. We would have also liked to have more extensive support for integration with Vue.js and Typescript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Classic editor and Inline editor are what I like most, and there we override built-in CKEditor classes and modify the UI according to UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using the Angular framework, so I need to install dependencies separately, like for the Classic editor and Inline editor, both require separate installation. I think there should be a centralized approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CKEditor Platform offers an impressive range of features and can be tailored or purchased to suit our specific requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The wide range of flexible options can make it somewhat challenging to choose the right components. While this flexibility is a positive aspect, it does add complexity to the purchasing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless integration and a modern, clean UI. It feels like a native part of our application, not a clunky add-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, it's hard to find a real flaw. The pricing is fair for the value, and it's incredibly reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of integration into my frontend application. I could manipulate it as much as I want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I now need a license key, meaning I have to pay to use the editor, which is bad for business. I might seek free options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I said, its easy to use. And the rich text editor is make more complete. The CKEditor5 is have huge different from CKEditor4, the new on is has elegant skin! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think its more about the technical, for beginners (who have to code) its kinda hard to find something when they (and me actualy) want to create some custom plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I actually like the fact I don't need many windows open since I can handle my content editing via the editor directly. Got introduced to it by a friend and it works like a charm for what it's supposed to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't use it very often, so I didn't find yet any drawback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
