"Seamless Content Management with Easy Setup"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

I find Hygraph incredibly useful for managing our content and building structured content pages. Its intuitive nature as a headless CMS is something I genuinely appreciate, making it easy to use and integrate within our workflow. The GraphQL integration stands out as a key feature, allowing me to query only the fields needed without any excess or bloated data types, simplifying data management significantly. The initial setup of Hygraph was remarkably swift, getting us up and running in about an hour, and its extensible nature means we can easily build on it as our needs evolve.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Nothing really. Hypraph is such an easy tool to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect for No-Code Designers—Simple and Powerful"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

This product has a simplicity that makes it work awesome for no-code designers and product designers. Easy to understand, even if you don't have dev skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Hard to say, but I'm afraid the free tier could be a little more generous in terms of models, more than 20 could be helpful (I know you already are :D).

199$ for the second tier looks quite expensive for me, but it's something that I probably have to do if my MVPs start to work. If you guys can create a middle 50$ tier between free and the 199$ would be interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and Easy to Use Headless CMS"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

As a front-end developer, I really like how easy it is to set up Hygraph. The schema setup is quick and straightforward, and I was able to start adding content almost immediately. The UI is clean and doesn’t get in the way, which I appreciate. The free plan is also surprisingly generous so it's great for hobby projects or small sites where I just want to get something live without overthinking the backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

It took me a little while to fully understand how assets work in Hygraph and how they’re managed separately from entries. The flow isn’t super obvious at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best CMS for your blogs and content"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

I've been using Hygraph from almost 3 years, and it has been a great experience. I love the simple and easy UI/UX. I mostly used Hygraph for my blogs and some reviews of clients from my portfolio. I really love using it and will be using forever. Its really easy to setup and integrate in my Next.js application. Talking about support its really great and quick, they really helped my to solve my issue within 24 hrs. Thanks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Nothing much, its UI is very excellent and also the UX and docs are the best to integrate in any framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamlessly Integrates with Existing Systems"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

I love how Hygraph integrates seamlessly with older CRM systems, offering a flawless experience. The GraphQL interface is simple and efficient, especially for someone familiar with development, making it easy to plug and play with existing setups. One additional feature I appreciate is the excellent assets management, which is very user-friendly and allows high-resolution images with customizable rendering options. These features together make Hygraph a powerful tool for managing content and assets effectively. Moreover, the initial setup was very easy, enhancing my overall experience with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

I find it sometimes unclear whether I've published new content or not with Hygraph. The app could benefit from clearer notifications, like a toaster message, to confirm successful publication. Additionally, the mobile functionality is not very user-friendly. It needs to be more responsive to enhance usability on mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Frontend Dev in Love with Performance"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Hygraph’s Image API is a secret weapon. I don't just get an image URL; I can use the GraphQL API to request each image in multiple sizes and formats. So, for a mobile user, the phone loads a tiny, WebP format image, and for a desktop user with a retina screen, it gets a larger one. This single-handedly got our Lighthouse Performance score to a 95+. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

The learning curve for the GraphQL query language itself. If you're only used to REST APIs, it takes a minute to wrap your head around. You can't just copy a URL; you have to write a specific query to ask for exactly what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Needs a lot of improvement"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

The interface is good. I like the tool to import figures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

-- The lack of autosave is one of the biggest flaws. If there is an accidental back click on mouse before one saves the content of one section, you can loose an hour of work because it goes out of the edit interface and there is no way to retrieve it. We are in 2025. Autosave option should be a "NO BRAINER"!!!!!

-- Another very flawed design is the edit and delete buttons side by side for sections. If one accidentally clicks the delete, the section will be gone and you can loose days of work. For this maybe not saving that will be a way to save the content, still it is a very very flawed design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Modern Headless CMS"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Hygraph offers a very intuitive interface for creating and maintaining content models. Particularly positive is the strong support for GraphQL, which makes integration into modern tech stacks extremely easy. The performance and reliability of the API are also top-notch. The documentation is clear and helpful, and the team behind Hygraph is very competent and ready to provide support when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

There is hardly anything to criticize. The interface is technically functional, but it might make it a bit difficult for a non-technical person to get started. Regarding media assets, I would like to have descriptive URLs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transition to headless for CMS and beyond"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

I am an independent contractor supporting a marketing team at Accuride International. We picked up Hygraph a few years ago as part of an effort to decouple what had become an overly complex tech stack. GraphQL and Hygraph have been critical components in creating a seamless integration of their blog and ecommerce applications within the context of marketing sites and content. Ease of use is excellent from a developer standpoint, and it solved a lot of issues I was experiencing in working with content managers to enforce best practices and a consistent workflow. They were blogging in WordPress before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Not much to say here. Documentation is good, customer support adequate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I was forced to use it otherwise I wouldn't have used it"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

I wasn't familiar with this platform; I was forced to use it for Gamescom. Once I got started, I felt a bit lost, but once I understood how to use it, it was simple and intuitive to get going. I think it's an effective tool that allows you to organize your work both internally and with external collaborators. I've explored a few of hygraph's features, but I plan to continue learning more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

At first, I was a bit lost, not understanding what I was supposed to do. I didn't have permission to do things, and I didn't understand why. There was no guided introduction or anyone to explain how to do things. Even now, I'm still not entirely clear on what I can and can't do, or how to best use the tool.
