Hygraph Reviews & Product Details

In just a few minutes, I managed to create the required trade fair design for Gamescom. The result was clean and consistent with the identity of the trade fair. Our information clearly visible and tidy. The behind the scenes? An easy and comprehensible interface right from the start - child's play! Kudos to the creators ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think I have anything negative, on the contrary, positive experience with a easy integration! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I particularly appreciate is Hygraph's approach to structured content modeling, it allows us to think future-proof and create reusable content pieces that scale well as we grow. The documentation is solid, and support has been responsive whenever we’ve needed help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area of improvement could be around more advanced native workflows or approval processes for editorial teams, but overall, Hygraph has allowed us to move faster and manage complex content relationships with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Hygraph is its scalability and flexibility as a headless CMS. It allows developers to create custom content models and integrate them across various channels without any problem, all the while offering a user-friendly interface to the authors. Hygraph's ability to handle complex content workflows and being an API-first solution makes it an ideal solution for modern, multi-channel apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One potential downside of Hygraph is its pricing plan, which might be slightly on the higher side of the range for small projects or startups with tight budgets. Secondarily, while its flexibility is one of its strongest points, the setup and configuration process is not always straightforward to get through for first-time users of headless CMS systems. Some users might find the learning curve slightly higher than with more traditional CMS systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Hygraph is its powerful combination of flexibility and usability. The schema modeling is intuitive yet incredibly robust, making it easy to design complex content structures without unnecessary overhead. The GraphQL API is fast and reliable, and the developer experience is top-notch. I also appreciate how well it handles localization and content workflows—perfect for projects with multiple stakeholders and markets. Plus, the UI is clean and user-friendly, which helps editors feel confident managing content on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Hygraph is an excellent platform, there are a few areas with room for improvement. Occasionally, the UI can feel a bit rigid when working with large volumes of content or complex nested references—it would be great to see more advanced filtering or bulk editing options. Also, while the documentation is generally strong, some deeper use cases (especially around roles/permissions or custom workflows) could benefit from more detailed examples. That said, the support team is responsive, and the product evolves quickly, so these are minor trade-offs in an otherwise outstanding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hygraph makes it easy to create content from schemas that aren't so simple, yet necessarily faithful tot he underlying business domain we work with.

I like the automatic creation of collections in the GQL schema which make anything a searchable quantity, and the web editor UI is fast and responsive so I can do everything from data entry to schema implementation wherever I need.

As a daily user of Hygraph, I respect that the company respects my time and doesn't make me jump through hoops to get the most common tasks done. The search is fast and good, the usage limits are fair, and the error messages are helpful.

In comparison to similar services like Contentful, I prefer my time using Hygraph both as a content author and a technical integrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if Hygraph had a first-party integration with Astro.js that preconfigured some sensible defaults according to what the Hygraph technical team would advocate for -- such as caching settings, error handling/retries etc.

Also the migration from the extant version of the Web UI to the new Hygraph Studio could have been smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hygraph has been a game-changer for our small team - the API is super fast, and setting up content models was relatively easy and clear. our dev team loves how well it fits into our workflow and especially the fact our non technical team was able to be onboarded and remove a huge bottleneck and dependency we had with the engineering team

it’s a solid, modern CMS that scales well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

learning curve for non-tech users, took a minute but worth it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a software architect, I appreciate the flexibility of the solution and the company's support in implementation. New insights and experiences regularly come from the community, which inspire one during implementation. The entire role concept for administration is impressive. As a company with almost 50 active accounts, we are doing very well with the solution. My tip: Seek the company's help right from the start, a solutions architect can work wonders during implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extensions in the form of apps should also be manageable through a project and not just by a user. This prevents apps from being lost in the application lifecycle. (We had this problem and were able to solve it within 24 hours with the help of the HyGraph team.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hygraph has enabled me to approach site development in a way that separates my content and tech development. It has been incredibly easy to set up a schema and immediately start saving content. It also offers capabilities that I can expand upon as my needs grow.

Once I started integrating the content with my backend, it "just worked", which is always nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only real complaint is that, given that I don't fully use all of the features of Hygraph, I wonder if there's a way for the application to help me understand the capabilities better to help me take advantage all that the software has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of implementation, simple structure for data requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I haven't encountered any difficulties that would make me classify it as something I didn't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limitations in terms of UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
