Contentful Reviews & Product Details

The best feature of Contentful is its headless CMS architecture, which allows content to be easily managed and delivered across multiple platforms (web, mobile, apps). Its clean UI, powerful APIs, and flexible content modeling are very helpful for both developers and content teams. Performance and scalability are also strong.

Contentful's pricing might seem a bit expensive, especially for small teams or beginners. It takes time to understand the initial setup and content modeling. Some advanced features might be a bit complex for non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using Contentful as our CMS for the past year and a half. It allows us to dynamically update our website's home page, keeping it current, as well as manage our resource pages that include training materials, guides, and general user assets. Additionally, we rely on Contentful to manage our announcement banners, enabling us to deliver real-time user alerts. The experience has been excellent, as we were able to design the frontend to match the seamless look and feel of the rest of our application's UI/UX, while retaining the flexibility to update text, images, and assets through the CMS without needing development releases. Contentful has proven to be cost-effective, straightforward to learn, and has fully met our requirements.

The product is highly flexible, handling our peak traffic periods without any issues. Update statuses are clearly indicated, whether content is published or in draft mode, and the ability to schedule updates for a later time has been especially useful for timed announcements. Overall, it has been relatively easy to learn and has enabled us to become productive quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no support for search integration on the frontend, this requires a third-party integration with potential additional costs. Additionally, this may not be an issue with Contentful, it may be how we set it up, but I wish there was a way to support multiple environments of a site without pushing to all at the same time. When we publish in Contentful, we publish to all environments at once which makes testing tough after we went live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Contentful to upload new copy and amend existing copy. It is quite intuitive, making uploading copy simple once I've learned the system. The ability to create modules is far and away its best feature. This massively reduces the amount of writing needed, especially for ubiquitous content like terms and conditions or author profiles. It means I don't have to write the same bits of copy again and again, and I can simply drop a module into any new page. The initial setup of Contentful was relatively easy, as the system is pretty simple and intuitive, so getting up to speed was quite simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visually it is quite poor. Sometimes it can be difficult to understand where in a page you are. Also, because naming conventions are dictated by the user, it can be very tough to find the right modules if they have been created by someone else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used Contentful for content management and I must say, it is awesome.

It is a headless CMS and it centralizes content for easy access across any digital platform.

With this tool, content marketing is easy and we're able to push custom content which ensures better customer experience.

With the tool, handling content workflow as well as improving teamwork/productivity is easy.

I also like the content unification and easy of scaling when need be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having handled our content management really well, I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been easy to use and as a result of that, easy to train our content team. While it took a little adjustment in mental models, the benefits were immediately felt by everyone in the team. It's amazing being able to edit everything about a page without going to multiple places, everything opens as a nested window in the primary content model.

The development team have enjoyed working with Contentful and found it relatively easy to implement our 3 sites. Maintenance and iteration have also become far simpler since the move to Contentful, we are releasing at least once a sprint now.

We haven't had much need for customer support but they have been responsive when we have needed implementation questions answered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the size of our organisation we are on a relatively low tier subscription, the number of content models included is a little limiting and definitely the bottleneck. There is currently no way to increase the number of content models without upgrading the entire subscription but we don't need any of the other parts of the upgrade.

I choose to go with Contentful when I'm building a project that has content at the core. Contentful offers a robust, battle-tested solution alongside a rich, optimized out-of-the-box UX, a great Dev experience, and a performant API layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Prices tend to be higher than the competitors, which means that if the content is not that relevant to your project in relation to other features, you probably will find it too expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that when you create a module for a page, it is very easy to then use it across various pages. This is great if, like me, you write a lot of blogs/articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not particularly intuitive. The learning curve is steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
