GraphCMS Reviews & Product Details

The ability to change content structures on the fly, without affecting the API, and the ability to manage different development lifecycles within the same content project. The support is also amazing and responsive, and it is good to see the product constantly evolving and improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a few niggles with the richtext editor, but because they are constantly improving I believe this is an area they are looking to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use GraphCMS for most of our client projects. We prefer the tool as our main CMS since the Content and Management API offer us a lot of options in regard to the frontend, the performance is great and the content modelling intuitive. As an agency, we use it for projects ranging from marketing websites to machine to machine applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the developer perspective, the product is a game changer, nothing to complain here. Content editors need a few days to get used to the interface. The content editing experience has still some flaws - nothing major but could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use ReasonML in our frontend and website. It’s an ML-based language with static type checking. Combined with GraphQL, it gives us the ability to import a schema using an introspection query, which in turn gives us the ability to do compile-time type checking. Contrary to similar services, GraphCMS implements those introspections—a huge win for us.

Another huge win is speed. We’ve found GraphCMS appears to be much faster compared to similar services.

Apart from that, we’ve found the platform to be quite flexible. Being able to not only specify relationships between content, but also the way it relates to other parts of the schema (one-to-one, one-to-many, etc.), makes for great control over the schema. We’ve internally started using it for prototypes that go beyond the scope of a simple CMS because of this flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We feel the interface could be slightly more tailored for content managers, as it seems more tailored towards developers now.

Another (minor) thing is that we did not find a repeatable item field. While this is something that is easily solved with relationships (and sometimes maybe even beneficial to do so), there are other cases, specifically when dealing with things like pricing tables, or a list of features (in other terms; things that will only ever be shown in the context of their parent entity), where it may be much clearer to the content manager to communicate that the item can occur multiple times.

GraphCMS has to be the most feature-complete GQL based CMS out there. Drop any preconceptions you may have about out-of-the-box solutions and give it a spin - the depth this product has is incredible and the support from Fabian is phenomenal, even at 8.30pm on a Friday evening.

The free tier quotas are extremely generous for testing purposes and you could easily run a small project with no costs. The pricing scheme is well documented and extremely generous considering the A* support they give, the amount of effort gone into their documentation and the knowledge of their staff.

It's easy to use. Intuitive and makes business sense. I can't wait to see where they take this awesome product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Webhooks are locked behind the paid tier, which, if you rely on them, requires you to take a dive into your wallet to access. That being said, now that we're ready to scale, it's a non-issue. Some CMS focus more on the author experience so if you're looking for a headless blogging platform such Ghost, you may not find what you want here. Saying that, I would 100% recommend trying it before coming to any conclusions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a native GraphQL CMS makes everything much easier to work with. Integrating webhooks and maintaining 10+ locales is seamless fo rus. Developers are much more efficient when building requests, and the product team has granular visibility over every integration step. 10/10 Support as well!

They have constant product updates and periodic feature updates with a very well maintained feedback submission system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to have a few more custom roles for each individual contributor we work with, but its possible to circumvent this on the frontend with our own authentication permissions.

Another nice-to-have would be integrations, but from their public roadmap I can see its being actively worked on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love the crisp UI and the simple implementations. The entire migration of 3 websites and 2 mobile apps took a matter of weeks, and the scalability is brilliant. From all the CMSs we used, GraphCMS had the best internal feedback - frontend is thrilled with GQL and our marketing team loves the editor. And their support is top notch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface looks a little dated but incremental updates trickle by. There's a few features missing, however they have an open feature request board that's updated regularly and taken into consideration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GraphCMS is easy to use and has a clean UI. Schemas are fully customizable and with a great range of options. It helps to save a ton of time and work when creating new content for a website. The generated GraphQL API is exactly what we were needing for handling our content.

What is also really helpful, is having a Draft and Published status for the content. We use Draft for our dev environment and Published for production, the process of updating the status to Publish is a 2 click action which is great to make fast changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can find, and it's a personal preference, is that I would rather have the content listed in descending creation date order by default, instead of ascending. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GraphQL CMS is easy to work with. Our developers are very happy to work with this tool - everything is fast and efficient. And I personally think: GraphCMS provides the best support I ever had with any other tool.

The constant updates are great and the GraphCMS developers are always open for new features wishes of our clients :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, sometimes it is hard for useres to adapt in ths modell of cms. But it really depense on the person and their exerience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I first touched it, it was difficult to understand.

However, after understanding the mechanism, I feel that it is easy to understand UI and UX.

However, personally I would be happy if there were many more examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The window from the right side to enter data after defining the schema is small.

I want to input more widely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a great UI/UX, and a flexible Schema's design API Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When dealing with images having to upload assets before being able to link theme, it would be better if we can upload images directly when we link theme Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We transitioned to graphcms in about 3 months from our legacy systems and almost instantly we could tell that we made a good decision. The developers love the documentation, and enjoy the interface and the flexibility with graphql, making it very easy for them to deliver new requests and projects. The product manager has a granular view into the projects and into seeing what's going on, making it very transparent to work with.

Their webhooks feature make it very easy to integrate with all our existing services and we're easily able to localise and scale to all our key markets without worrying much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cannot think of anything yet - the entire process has been smooth and the functionality is as expected. It was a little difficult to integrate older hotel software but it was mostly because of a lack in documentation and support on the side of legacy platforms.

Noob friendly guides and nice user interface to get someone set up fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web Hooks aren't also free (Joking, its only fair they aren't). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like the rich-text visual editor, the easy-to-use localization feature (our content is in 11 languages), GraphCMS’ scalability (several hundred thousand visitors per month) and the ability to write content into the CMS programmatically.

Although our front-end design was ready before we chose GraphCMS, the integration was very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GraphCMS is built to handle structured data, so its added value is lower if you are only handling freeform texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Good Support

- Quick Iterations, features added frequently and they listen to the community

- Great for GraphQL lovers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Dashboard can be confusing sometimes (some data seems weird) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’re huge advocates for Graph CMS for their clean interface, staging that allows us to release easily when we want, graphQL simplicity, and the flexibility of what it allows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d love some more content from them to help achieve things that we might not know are even possible or are thinking about but not necessarily know the path to achieve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
