Business Relationships Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/3/2019 "Contently generates good workflow" 4/5 What do you like best about Contently? First of all Contently pleases me because it is a platform that gives me great collaboration in the workflow and content management. In addition to allowing me to get great ease to maintain acommunication with collaborators and team alike. And I can also consider that the work process is very fluid to work on projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? As for Contently, apart from looking like a good tool, it is good to have more useful analysis functions. Although the user interface can improve it is not as recommended as it turns out to be little good in terms of deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Contently: Finally, we recommend this platform because it is appropriate for companies to obtain good results during the work process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you?

Social Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/16/2019 "It has been very positive to have Contently to display appropriate content." 4/5 What do you like best about Contently? I am pleased with this program because its platform is easy to communicate with collaborators and team alike. I also had no problems configuring and tracking everything related to the workflow. Another advantage is that Contently has functionalities aimed at systematic analysis, this has helped me to have a tools based on data and surveys to make decisions. In addition, the program covers optimal capabilities to manage several websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? The program is expensive, this does not differ in the quality of the product, I think there is a fair cost and quality relationship which should be taken into account. I have also been able to visualize that the way in which I review the authors is a bit complicated, the process redirects me to many clicks which should be simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Contently: If you want to have a simple way to load digital content for your benefits or those of the company where this your works, this program it is ideal to do that job. It is also appropriate for content producers and publishers to find their work and suggest new opportunities as well. The scope that Contently gives is enormous, so do not forget to recommend it every time you have the opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you? This program has been fundamental for our company. It has allowed us to easily load the work. In this way we exhibit our projects and find new opportunities in the market. It also increases the quality of our department in terms of timely content, we study and analyze previously what we require and then surprise many with what we want to publish.

The tone feature was interesting, but no way to adjust. It read my tone the same the each piece i wrote. My work has to often discuss trends that negatively impact businesses, and need to speak from a position of authority. It always said I was an arrogant writer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? The content editor. If you are actually writing in the tool, it had a number of bugs when I was using it. The autosave feature was not reliable, editing and commenting simultaneously was nearly impossible, so it hinder collaboration. If someone commented on a sentence and you wanted to edit while still viewing the content, you were out of luck. You have to turn off the comments to edit. Makes no sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Contently: We discontinued use for several reasons. We no longer were doing the same level of content in house, and only used part of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you? Work flow and collaboration issues. We only used it internally, so pitches and prices weren't really utilized. Nice workflow and helps with planning large numbers of content pieces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This site is an amazing tool for journalists who want to display a portfolio. It’s especially great because it is free. Stories are laid out in a crisp, clean format and look fantastic.

It's a good place to store collateral and share the workload of writing blog posts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? I didn't see the huge advantage, given we use Pardot to store collateral and can share word documents for blog posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed with which I can deploy writers and content producers is fairly remarkable. The ability to pay content producers through the system relieves a ton of headaches. The writers are average to above-average. The calendaring tool is a great way to organize projects internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? The cost is prohibitive for all but my biggest clients. I wish there was a way to separate writers and content producers in to "quality tiers." As it stands, everyone is lumped together. I'd be willing to pay more, for example, for someone who's written for top-tier publications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Contently: Make sure to thoroughly review a creator's portfolio before committing to work with him/her. Users' final work product may have been heavily edited. Try to negotiate lower rates based on number of users in your network or the number of clients you have on the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you? Our clients have a variety of digital publishing needs. Some publish 80 pieces of content a week, some publish 4 a month. Some focus on deep tech, others on consumer goods. Contently allows me to find and manage appropriate creators for all projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Contently is a useful tool for freelance writer" 5/5 What do you like best about Contently? That it was very simple to set up my account. I like the clean look of my page, it looks very modern and also is easy to navigate. I also was surprised by the section that showed how many shares or likes my articles had, that is a great addition. I really like that photos show up next to my articles too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? The names of my publications do not show up as images very nicely (there are grey lines and a tiny logo instead of a big logo) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you? As a freelance writer I wanted to be able to share my own work but didn't want to have to create my own website from scratch by myself. Contently solved that problem for me. Also, I actually was hired for a few writing jobs because someone found me on Contently, or I was able to send them a link of my work for them to review easily.

Head of Content Marketing Internet Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/24/2015 "Docalytics is the best platform for proving content marketing ROI" 5/5 What do you like best about Contently? Docalytics delivered two really great benefits to me as a content marketer: it shows me which prospects are engaging with certain pieces of content, so that conversations with prospects can be more relevant, and when prospects become a customer, ROI can be credited to the content for "nudging" them along. The 2nd amazing benefit of Docalytics is that it shows me the aggregate performance of my content, so I can start to make data-driven decisions about how to improve it in the future. This has helped me decide to shorten my eBooks, and provide more tactical graphics and charts, which led to a significant improvement in form fills and time spent with the content by prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? Now that the Marketo integration is completed there is really nothing not to like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Contently: For content marketers and demand gen folks who are still using Marketo to host eBooks and whitepapers, I suggest you switch to Docalytics immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you? Docalytics is a game-changer in terms of providing actionable data to improve content performance and show ROI. I was able to show that a piece of content that cost ~$5k ($3k research & writing, $2k design) delivered a 6X ROI within 60 days of publishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Development Publishing Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/27/2015 "Performance metrics for content" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Contently? With the proliferation of marketing automation content marketing and lead generation may have become 'easier' but it has led to 2 problems: 1 - content is consumed more rapidly, and keeping up with demands for fresh and engaging content is a daily struggle and 2 - it is becoming too easy for the important individual details of each interaction to be lost - as we are more and more using frameworks and scoring algorithms to categorize and follow up on the high volume of leads coming in, which can whitewash over the intricacies that help with a consultative sales approach. Docalytics changes this by capturing the story behind the interaction, giving deeper insight every time your content is read, and building a compound picture of the prospect and their journey. They also have a view that focuses on the content as the epicenter of the interaction, not the lead. This may seem a small detail - but when you can pinpoint exactly which piece of your content is having a positive impact, and exactly how you can increase this effect - the Docalytics platform creates a cycle of continuous improvement based on concrete performance-based evidence; in an area that has all too often been dependent on gut feel and anecdotal evidence to direct marketing content budget, this is a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Contently? There can be a bit of confusion around the different views for the analytics - a problem with having a so much good data - and so presenting results is not as intuitive as it could be. Integration with SFDC and Marketo have closed the other gaps for us... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you? We solved 2 problems we had identified - We were having trouble identifying the hottest prospects and aligning resources most efficiently for followup, this is now moot. In addition we were ramping the rate of our content production, but without any metrics, measurements or real insight into effectiveness - now we have actionable intelligence on our content and are producing higher quality pieces, with better interactions and seeing huge ROI.
