Improve our content management process and communication flow for content #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Before GatherContent, I managed content with Word, Excel or Google Docs. For years, I have prepared template for my customers and we were doing back and forth until a final version. Every time, no matter how much work I have put in my files, it was a total nightmare from the beginning to the end, because projects evolved, content changed, there's alway many person involved and different approval levels. I have been looking to improve the process and I was so glad to finally find a tool dedicated to this need. Gather Content allow to create templates, assign responsibilities, set due dates, manage status, track history, comments and more! It's easier for my clients to managed, edited, review and approved their content and for my team to be sure they really got the final version to integrate into website #### Cons Gather Content could sometimes be glitchy and/or slow. I think it's when there's a lot of content in a same page. --- ### Transformed my editorial process - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jessie B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. - More automated editorial process (saved time) - Less time spent communication with writers on the status of their articles, where to find their assignments, and other logistical questions - Better historical record of submissions - No more loosing submissions in the "blackhole of Google Drive" #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I used GatherContent to get out of Google Docs and into a more sophisticated and consolidated platform for my editorial content. Some huge pros were: - Automated email notifications to writers when I changed the status on a page - HTML and plain text versions of everything - The way everything was organized - Flexible tagging / customized organization - Ability to create "forms" for content submissions (so, for example, I could encourage writers to fill out sections for standardized content, like a guide, rather than free-form compositions) - Overviews and content progress #### Cons Sometimes it could be a bit glitchy. I know they're still working on it and the pros far outweighed the cons, but there were times where I'd click on one spot and start typing and the text would appear somewhere else... also if I'd put custom HTML into the HTML side (e.g. a class), it wouldn't save it. --- ### Extremely disappointed in customer service and billing policy - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used other for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It helped us organize web content. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It served its purpose. #### Cons The software was fine, but the auto-renewal billing policy locked us in to another year's subscription when we did not want it, and the company showed ZERO flexibility in regard to letting us cancel. I will not use this product again. --- ### Goodbye Microsoft Word, Endless Emails, and Disorganized Content Teams! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. GatherContent really helps accelerate and organize the content production process. It reduces the time needed to get the job done, and reduces the amount of errors made. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Finally, something for writers, designers, and developers to track and edit content production. It also helps content migration immensely for large website redesign projects. For someone that is user centered and content first, this tool (and the free training provided) will help make your case clear. #### Cons Sometimes setting up workflow is not always straightforward, but that is more of a learning curve for teams and requires someone with more high-level project insight to create and help update. --- ### Q: Can't We Just Use MS Word? A: NO! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Publishing - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The software's been fantastic thus far. Getting a team of noneditors to work on Gather Content has been rather painless and the customizability for templates for various web page content we'll be working with is awesome. Keep up the great service and great UX. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Gather Content provided excellent customer service and onboarding with the team using it here. I saw its value straightaway. We're working on a substantial website redesign, and without someone in house whose sole purpose it is to manage the editorial process needed to bring over old content and repurpose it for the new site, there was no way that trying to handle the content creation across four teams and a dozen or so people would be healthy in a word processing program. Connecting our current-site content to Gather Content and then exporting it and working in Gather Content rather than WP has been a godsend. #### Cons I've not run up against any showstoppers for Gather Content. A few times I've logged in, I'm a bit unwowed by the simplicity of the dashboard and home screen. But too many bells and whistles are distracting, so I'm torn. I also wish the content map was a bit more robust and would allow me to order the subtopics in any one area. #### Reasons for choosing GatherContent Gather Content was developed for the specific purpose of working with the content for our new site. We don't need another project management tool or doc storage system; we don't want to work with content inside of WordPress (drives me mad). So we chose the best tool for the job. --- ### Good product to track progress on content creation and edits - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This is a good product for collaboration on content development. We have used this to track progress on content for the past 18 months and have been mostly pleased with the functionality. There are different stages of content creation that can be used with this product that assigns ownership to certain people/teams for review/approval. #### Cons The product doesn't easily allow red lines and tracking of edits. We may have not been using it correctly, but it didn't seem as intuitive as it should have been. --- ### Great tool for content professionals who hate writing content in a CMS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Entertainment - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. GatherContent helps me organize my content for clients and deliver to them for review and approval rather seamlessly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros GatherContent does a great job of bringing content creation, review, and approval in one place, outside of a CMS. Plus, GC offers a number of services that content it to major content management systems, making it a great way to export content to a CMS without having to work with development to customize templates or features within CMS for days and days. #### Cons GatherContent has some very useful features but at times it's not intuitive as to how customizable you can make templates within it. It led me to experiment quite a bit before I found a format and workflow that worked. --- ### Probably more powerful than we need - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We use GatherContent purely for organising content for new websites. Although I find it straightforward to set up projects, I find that clients I am trying to encourage to add their content don't find it as easy to use - but this is more user error / inexperience I would say. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This is a really well thought out, scaleable software for content planning and management. The interface is clean and simple. #### Cons I suspect that this software is slightly too powerful for what we need. It still works great for small projects, but I would really like to see a pricing option for smaller scale usage, perhaps based around number of items, or even credit based. It is verging on too expensive for us in relation to our level of usage month by month. --- ### Not Bad! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Media Production - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered GatherContent allowed us to easily communicate with an external team. Although we could not put special accent marks or upload huge files, GatherContent was much easier to use than I had expected, and I think most people would find it's a better alternative to the Google Suite for something like web design. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros GatherContent made it easy to communicate with our website designers to allow us to upload pictures and text for our website. #### Cons I couldn't just put the link in the text, our developers said I had to put the link as a comment so that it would load into Wordpress properly. There were also some size limits that made my life a tiny bit more difficult (had to submit elsewhere all my PDFs as zipped files). --- ### Took some getting used to - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Sean T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2017 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Hard to say - I think we might have had better results with another tool, but I've nothing to directly compare it to. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It works okay as a tool to bring together content and make it available for review and feedback, although it's definitely nothing special in that respect. #### Cons The presentation of content as components of a greater whole takes a lot of getting used to, at least in the uses I've seen as a recipient of content for review. You miss the holistic picture when content is broken down to its core components and it's hard to know whether the content works as a whole. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 17 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/creative-management/gathercontent-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Content Collaboration Software [Quickbase](https://www.softwareadvice.com/crm/quick-base-profile/) **4.4** (333) Recently recommended **14** times [Google Drive](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cms/google-drive-profile/) **4.8** (28622) Recently recommended **0** times [Slack](https://www.softwareadvice.com/remote-support/slack-profile/) **4.7** (24211) Recently recommended **0** times [OneDrive](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cms/microsoft-onedrive-profile/) **4.5** (12876) Recently recommended **0** times Stuck Between Options?
