"Easy to setup, customize to your need, and great dev experience"
4.5/5
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Data modeling is easy to understand, tweak, and tailor to your need. Nothing is frozen and it's really easy to change your mind / data design.

Graphql API makes it a joy to work with and integrate with Next or Gatsby.

Image management with rich API & CDN is also a joy.

Support is great too, and pricing is fair when you consider the other player in the same fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

I would love to have reverse relationships for graphQL API: you have posts that belong to a category, you can get the linked category from the post, you can get all post for a given category, but you don't have a post collection on your category model. It seems really costly to do, and the workaround are not that bad, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Simplicity, it enables everyone at the office to do changes otherwise too complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

Cannot think of anything from the top of my mind. The storage space maybe. And!! When one uses the edit tool for photos, it is saved in a format that the the system doesn't accept Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DatoCMS is a well rounded CMS with rapid & helpful support"
5/5
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Modular content allows to build complete pages by mix & matching different blocks, very flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

Pricing is a little more complicated than it used to be, but it's miles cheaper than alternatives. We tried dozen before settling on DatoCMS; the only one that comes close in terms of feature is Contentstack, but pricing is on another level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
