We lack a helpful visual preview from Contentful, and this causes back and forth with our content

We find Contentful prices hike or increase rapidly, which discourages our team from using the program 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.

Contentful offers a highly structured and API-first approach to content management, making it easy to create and manage modular content. Its intuitive UI allows content editors to work independently, while developers enjoy the flexibility of integrating with any front-end framework. The role-based access controls and versioning features are especially helpful in collaborative environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be steep for non-technical users initially. The pricing can also become expensive for growing teams or enterprise-level usage. Some basic features like advanced localization or asset organization require premium tiers or workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy for our team to create, manage and publish content mainly because of the user friendliness of the interface, and the management capabilities Contentful offers. The modular content allowed us to tailor our content according to specific project requirements. Contentful's features made sure our digital experiences remains both dynamic and engaging.

Also, the delivery infrastructure on Contentful is very reliable which ensured a smooth and efficient experience for both content creators and end-users. In addition, the support for different content types such as including text, images, and videos enabled us to deliver content that’s high quality and diverse across multiple channels.

A challenge we faced was related to circular references on the data that was returned from the Contentful API. This was a major hurdle as we couldn't find a simple solution for this problem which happened to be a common problem amongst others. Because we had to handle circular references and implementing work arounds, it led us to developing a less than ideal development process. This aspect was time consuming and made it more complex.

While we experienced this setback, we appreciate the efforts made by Contentful to implement continuous improvements and we hope to see enhancements in handling circular references in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use , very easy to implement Models, supports localization and a lot of integrations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I hate about contentful is they don't have the option to replicate from one environment to another,

For example I have 2 env, staging and prod, If I created and tested something on staging , I will have to again create the same thing on prod which is really annoying and time consuming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contentful is incredibly easy to use, making it a go-to CMS for both developers and content managers. Its API-first approach ensures seamless integrations with a wide range of other systems, allowing for high interoperability. I've leveraged it across various companies and clients for a diverse range of use cases, and it consistently delivers. As a truly composable technology, it gives teams the flexibility to build exactly what they need, whether it's for a simple site or a more complex, content-driven application.

While Contentful excels in many areas, the pricing structure can become a consideration as you scale. As your content and API usage grow, costs can quickly escalate, which may be a challenge for some organizations when scaling larger applications or content-heavy platforms.

Contentful is strongest in offering structured content models for developers to query and consume via APIs. This is especially powerful when managing content across platforms such as web and mobile. The headless CMS allows flexibility in site or app hosting & implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because how models are used and rendered depends on the quality of the data modeling work, and the quality of the client implementations, this can lead to a lot of complexity and it being unclear to the Contentful user how to configure the content models to get a desired site behavior. This is not inherent to Contentful, but a risk that the greater abstraction of the content makes possible. Put some real thought into how content is modeled in Contentful, and keep it simple.
