"Mature headless CMS, user and developer friendly"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

It is very helpful that there is a free version available with which you can try out DatoCMS. We use it in conjunction with Gatsby to create a static website from components and the content from DatoCMS. The content is read from DatoCMS via GraphQL.

The feature that allows you to save changes as a draft before publishing them is essential for us. This way, changes can first be checked on our preview system before they are published and go live on the live system.

We use WebHooks to GitHub to start the build of the website. Displaying the build status in DatoCMS itself is very helpful for our authors.

It is also noteworthy that new features and improvements can be activated selectively and as needed. This way, nothing can break initially.

The way multilingual websites are implemented, I find user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

I am missing gradations in the pricing model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Perfect Blend of Flexibility and Simplicity"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

I love how intuitive and flexible DatoCMS is. The UI is clean and easy to use, but it still offers powerful features like GraphQL, webhooks, and smooth integrations with modern frameworks. It was super easy to implement into our workflow, and we now use it daily without any friction. On top of that, the customer service is outstanding—quick, helpful, and genuinely friendly. That kind of support makes a huge difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

Honestly, there’s nothing I actively dislike. Everything has worked smoothly so far, and any questions I had were quickly resolved by their support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid CMS for companies scaling their websites"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Having been using DatoCMS in professional setting for five years, I'd recommend DatoCMS as a great choice because it’s flexible, fast, and easy to use. The interface is simple and intuitive, even for people who aren’t tech-savvy or coders. And the content modelling lets you create reusable components that make managing content and building new pages straight-forward. The built-in image handling is smooth and useful. For non-technical users, the role-based permissions make it easy to edit content. DatoCMS customer support has always been responsive and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

One disadvantage of DatoCMS is the absence of notifications for inactive projects that are still being billed, which can result in unanticipated charges. Furthermore, the live preview functionality could be enhanced to provide more seamless real-time updates and a smoother experience for content editors working on dynamic websites.

"Clean, very flexible and easy to use"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

It is very powerful and flexible - with high levels of customisation. We were able to set up a complex website with thousands of pages that has proven robust and reliable.

Helpful support when needed - and I suspect it has far more functionality we haven't tapped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

It would be helpful if there was a simple preview function and spell checker in the text editor.

The limited formatting is a good thing - but would be useful to be able to see quickly what the page will look like without having to build the whole site again.

Even more irritating is the lack of spellchecker - its really easy to let typos slip through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most expendable changeable and awesome CMS I've ever used."
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

I love GraphQL and DatoCMS supports that out of the box, like a charm! The flexibility of Dato is just heavenly, it really is a dream come true!

You change the scheme, and it's so flexible out of the box with lots of filter options also great for multilingual purposes. And it's just so easy to use!

The easy of integration is simple, just GraphQL like you expected. With the great implementations Dato offers, you can get the options the most ideal way you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

There aren't migrations possible, and that's something I genuinly miss at the moment.

And be carefull with reaching the hard limit, because none of the request are possible after the limit has reached. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"By far the best cloud-based CMS out there!"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

I am an ex-WordPress developer that embraced the modern Jamstack (Next.js), and I can say that this is by far the most comprehensive and suited CMS to work with for entry to enterprise-level websites.

DatoCMS offers an amazing developer experience for modeling your content and blocks, intuitive and friendly UI to create your collections, an outstanding TYPE-SAFETY content delivery API including a slick GUI playground to test your queries, probably the fastest and service-driven support team, and so much more!

These guys have crafted a masterpiece in terms of CMS, which makes working with Next.js fun and, most importantly, almost hassle-free. Their work can be seen in every feature they release, either in their UI or the open-source libraries they provide to work with their APIs.

Cheers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

The plugin community is still evolving and still needs some work - in my opinion, the gap is minor and still, I didn't find any challenge that I couldn't overcome by myself (using code). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
