Kentico Kontent Reviews & Product Details

It's super easy to have a running start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can be prohibitive for some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having worked on various CMS over the past 20 years, Kentico's flexibility and modularity really stands out for me. It allows us to create a wide variety of pages for different content. The workflow steps are a great feature and allow us to allocate tasks to different members of the team as is the Project Overview function, allowing us to manage workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Searching for asset folders as oppose to the files themselves would be a useful function. Similar an undo function for when you accidentally delete content or similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the UX of the product is very easy to use. Also, the pricing of the product scales as you use (API first) and provides you with a good headstart at a low budget. Features like user management, content management, digital asset management, and others are pretty useful and help get the job done. the integration ecosystem is quite solid and reduce your effort, cost & time to market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we can't create separate groups as part of a single project with roles and responsibilities at a content item level. this limits global organizations with multiple roles in a multi-brand setting. please be vary of these things as this might impact your implementation and vision in the longer run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All sections are accessible in logical sequence & easy to navigate.

Errors are usually advised before you can even preview your changes, this saves time.

Even a team member with no previous experience could be easily onboarded to help with content, etc. for website - This was beneficial as working product was produced during limited timeframe.

Format allows for visually impactful working website + easy to update as needed in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some sections, it was 4-clicks to edit or same to publish. Understanding this is due to being down a few layers on the page, might be helpful to have a short cut? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to simply reuse or duplicate and then amend already created content is hugely beneficial. This saves a lot of time when it comes to the creation of new pages or components and makes it much easier to rollout website update consistently across the website where a component is shared.

Kontent also includes a number of collaboration tools which support working with my colleagues as well as my own task management. Being about to come back to a task, add notes and allocate it to team members makes website maintenance more manageable alongside other marketing activities as you're able to pick up where you left off much more easily.

The filtering and navigation of our components is also very useful, searching by keyword, narrowing down my selection by the type of component makes it quick to find when I'm looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Within our deployment of Kontent it is not currently possible to preview changes as they are made and publishing the page or component is required - as a result, there have been occasions where further amends have had to be made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kentico Kontent is a straightforward platform that makes it easy for content editors to create, edit and collaborate on different types of content. At the same time, the platform is easy to set-up from a technical standpoint, with easy to configure content models and a wide-array of of SDKs to help you handle data fetching, data migration, backups, ect... This is on top of the amazing Kentico support team, who are always available to answer any questions you might have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the initial hurdles we struggled with when implementing our new website Kentico Kontent had to do with migrating sections of the old site that were very dependant on the tree-hierarchy model we were used to seeing in more traditional CMS. At the time, the platform wasn't well set-up to accomodate this requirement given that it fully embraced the Headless flat-hierarchy approach to content structure ( i.e it was hard for content editors to visualise the whole sitemap and see how pages could be nested below one another). Since then, the platform has made significant improvements in terms of bridging the gap between the Headless CMS and more traditional CMS with features like WebSpotlight.

Slick UI, simple to set up for content distribution to various platforms, easy to integrate into existing systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, I don't find any feature or functionality lacking in usual use cases. The previous versions have been greatly improved and I'm not having any dislikes about the product at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kontent has a very easy to use interface for building complex data structures. It's easy to use for developers; it's easy to use for business users. I like the fact that there are a pre-defined datatypes available to use, while still having the ability to create custom data elements.

The delivery API is very fast and is easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the fact that for rich text content, the only format available is HTML. I would prefer if there was a flag that would allow me to request that content as Markdown (or something like that).

It also feels like the JSON response from the delivery endpoint is also larger than needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its formidable administration tool is cooperative and easy to use, highlighting some of its multilingual functions, which is what I like the most, since it promotes development in economic operations in different languages, contributes to the complete life cycle of some content particularly from my company, intuitively includes a well-documented delivery API and an integration of any stack system from any digital experience with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers an unprofitable subscription package for small projects, analyzing that it is not suitable for organizations with low labor performance, considering its high cost of starting the software functionality that even medium-sized companies cannot pay the necessary requirements for the process of operation, and finally we can highlight that kentico kontent does not have electronic data forms, which makes its management of notification information somewhat vulnerable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support was pretty responsive, core service works well and is fast. API is powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

API documentation could be better. The system for managing multiple environments with the CLI tool for migrating between seems half baked. I got stuck in a spot where I basically needed to swap my "Development" and "Production" environments and had to write fragile code to migrate from one to the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ease of use and inputing content. User can create complex content (with inline content of different type) ractically wihtout treining. Very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, really. It can be slow at times? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kentico Cloud is a rapidly evolving product that is consistently adding new features. But the part I like the most about the platform is the absolute speed at which the Kentico Cloud API delivers content to our applications. It is faster than I thought possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the user interface is less than stellar when it comes to large implementations with many content items. It is totally workable don't get me wrong, with with hundreds or thousands of items it feels a bit clunky at times. But this is minor in the overall user experience, and honestly all other headless cms interfaces have this issue at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use of the CMS interface is the really good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get complicated in terms of no in line view of what you are doing before you publish but i think this development is coming soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love how flexible it is to use the product. Right now we are using it only as a headless CMS but will soon be expanding into the other integrations. The pricing is straight forward. One thing the team liked is how the content is organized into one giant pool. The SDK was easy to work with and provided us flexiblity to cache results in our own CDN to reduce billing on there platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much I can think of off the top of my head. Overall after pre-sales we did feel a little rough hand off between our account manager and sales staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed and ease of development, coupled with the ongoing features being added make Kontent stand out. The development team leading in areas such as SSG's is also impressive. Scaffolding projects for smaller clients is absolutely rapid, and there are now features that allow you to scale out these projects more rapidly. The roadmap has also helped me plan for what is coming and allow me to better compare it to other competitors. The API has also been easy to use, both when developing new tools, or using it directly. We have used it both in JS and .NET and both experiences have been top class in comparison to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels like a walled garden for the best features. The enterprise level of $999 is understandable, but extremely expensive in comparison to other competitors. To be able to unlock enterprise level features by only contributing at least $12,000 a year is just out of reach for many, many businesses. What's more as an early adopter developer, it feels like a slap in the face, as we cannot develop enterprise level features which prevents us from accurately budgeting out client projects without taking out an enterprise plan. Also the number of times I say 'updating content in kontent' is ridiculous and does end up causing confusion with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and understandability of the platform. It's very straightforward and I can easily filter the results of what I'm looking for. The fact that I no longer have to exchange emails with attachments. I love being able to filter the results to just my assignments, for example. And if I want to check on a past project, I can search for the title of it. We can assign steps and contributers to a project, so when I'm done the writing phase, I assign it back to my boss, who makes sure the assignment hits the necessary topics. After that, she can easily assign it over to the editor. If the editor needs changes made, he will assign it back to me. It couldn't be simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Formatting a Word document sometimes seems a little frustrating and more confusing than it should be. It also seems like the formatting could be more consistent. I don't understand sometimes why things break the way they do, like a new paragraph versus just another line. Also, sometimes loading time is a little frustrating, or it doesn't load at all.

There are many CaaS products out there in the market with all of them offering similar feature sets. Kentico Kontent stands out as one of the best. The UI is very simple and intuitive enabling editors to get up and running quickly and easily.

Great strides have been made by the Kontent team to enhance and refine the selection of APIs plus the plugins and connectors for static site generators (e.g. Gatsby) and GraphQL, enabling developers to make use of the latest and greatest technologies to deliver fast and immersive front ends. Custom extensions have enabled us to collaborate with complimentary systems across DAM, ecommerce and optimisation to produce strong platforms for our clients.

The team are highly responsive and their continuous contact and interaction with the community enables them to focus on important features which are quickly delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike with the product. Any of the gripes we had with the product have quickly been resolved and the team is very receptive to feedback to plug any gaps.

Some work is required on the multiple workflows - a requirement sought after by enterprise clients. While there are ways to achieve the same result, a simpler feature is an essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility overall and the intuitive nature of the admin interface. It really seems that you have thought of everything! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, in particular, to report here with regards to feature set and capabilities. I think it'll just be a learning curve as we do more with Kontent. Also, the licensing cost may be an issue for smaller clients or non-profit organizations who are used to a more 'one and done' pricing model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

New interface, new UI

I think it is easy usable by non technical people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features where now hidden on certain places I was used to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Structure of platform, easy and quick translations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there is nothing that i disllike, all is good and logically structured Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to manage multiple contributors' content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the rigid publishing process can be more time consuming than we'd like, but it also helps prevent mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kontent is our leading choice for a headless CMS / Content as a Service platform. Not only are the features great, and ever expanding but there's also great technical support from Kentico development team including best-practice examples available and regular webinars with the product leads. The Kontent development team are open to ideas and are ready to evolve products to a client's needs. We have a great relationship with the whole Kontent who really give confidence in the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's little to dislike with the product, we have seen the development over the past couple of years and most irritating features have been ironed out. As with any service deprecation of features in the past has caused quick reassessments of the solutions for sites but the Kontent team are on hand for advice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
