Content.One Reviews & Product Details

I like their development flows and the ability to use and manage schema in a straightforward way. Sites they manage tend to be pretty performant, which is crucial for our clients who need fast-loading mobile sites. I also appreciate the strong localization options for global sites that need translations. Additionally, there's a real team of humans available for support, which has been helpful in clarifying behavior and solving problems when using the platform.

There are still certain schema fields that we wish had some additional validation options, or certain things that lack flexibility they wish they had - e.g. change a single-line text field to a multiline text field without having to recreate the field from scratch + migrate content. Also, it is on the more expensive side, so it's not a good fit for cheaper clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Content.One provides an easy-to-use interface for hosting multiple websites, letting us build and change things ourselves. It's easy to use, which is a big plus for me. Our developer works very well with the product, and it seems to be very adaptable to our needs. I especially appreciate the content/post WYSIWYG builder, as it has a very clear interface that anyone can learn very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Navigation of the platform can be difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using their headless models and custom json views we're able to easily create content that is frequently changed on the site. We have used it for a variety of things like standard website verbiage, site configurations, and promo management. It's allowed us to create self service models that can be used by non-engineering teams as well. Integetration is fairly easy and there are multiple ways to integrate with your system.

At times it can be clunky. Internationalization could use some improvement as the same value has to be updated in every language even if it doesn't change. It's easy to create too many json endpoints and can be hard to trace back which are being used. There are mechanisms for seeing the changes between versions but it does feel clunky. It would be nice if models could be given some extra approval settings such that publishing requires approval first. Metrics on json endpoint and model usage would be extremely useful in helping us clean up our zesty instance. A smaller instant json endpoint would be useful.

Zesty is such a simple tool to use in creating a CMS website. I met with a colleague for an intro, got an account to experiment with, and built two whole site concepts within two weeks! The Parsley code used is straightforward to understand, and there are some excellent documentation and youtube videos to learn if required. I started with a completely blank structure, and then added my own SCSS and JS and being able to organise and code in the browser was super helpful and fast.

It would be beneficial if zesty had a way of creating pages and schemas using the layouts tool. The layouts tool is okay to reorganise content, but it would be great if you could add more fields and layout it out in one place instead of adding it to the schema and coming back. I did not use the layouts plugin in the end because it did not really help me. A future addition would be duplicating fields in a layout tool and rearranging them.

I like that its easy to locate whatever I want to change very quickly and labeled (and a search function) it makes doing quick changes for multiple locations very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I have an external display set up, when using the preview mode in full screen it causes the external display to crash, it takes forever to reboot. Essentially it doesn't work in full screen which isn't that major but it's annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zesty is very useful, it's a headless CMS very easy to understand and to optimize for SEO purposes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes we get issues in things that should be simple, like, if you don't pay attention, you may publish a landing page in a different language. The tool could inform you if you are sure you are in the correct language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zesty is customizable and intuitive, allowing personnel with little to no coding or back-end development knowledge to work with it with relative ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a CMS, Zesty is clear and easy to use. However, it required development to make it that way. So, if that's not a skillset you have in-house, you'll need a vendor to develop to get the most use out of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the interface is super user-friendly without the need for a background in web design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search function doesn't pull up what I would expect it to when searching for items I have been asked to update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is pretty friendly, easy to navigate and 90% is done through wysiwyg Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The newest update to the dash doesn't auto-pin the tabs you're working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
