No incentive was offered Compared to other CMS platforms out there, this one isn't a bad option to have. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros If properly set up, it's easy to find and navigate sections and areas of your site you'd like to edit. #### Cons You can get lost if you don't know what you're doing. #### Reasons for switching to Contentful Didn't have a choice. It's what the company was already using when I came in. --- ### Contentful review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ryan B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We moved from Prismic and it felt like a step up in ease and daily use #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Was simple to use, SEO elements were easy to stay on top of too. image optimisation was simple as well #### Cons Each CMS has their own pros and cons but i can't think of one significant issue #### Reasons for switching to Contentful There were a few issues with our previous cms and scalability was deemed easier on a new cms --- ### Contentful... - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Jean-Hugues B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Networking - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered WYSIWYG interface is ok, but nothing crazy. Uploading images is a real pain and can only be done effectively (seo) by adding images one by one. How and when content appears when published is still a mystery to us. Technical limitations not mentioned, poor support. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Cons Support says it all: "we only commit to offering community support in your current subscription plan". Even when you find-out your plan does not work.

I think it’s what you would expect out of a headless cms #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I think it’s easy to get started as they have a lot of community to help you get started #### Cons I think their own tutorials to get started are not enough to get started, you have to look deeply to start developing there #### Reasons for choosing Contentful I think this software is the one with more discussion over the internet, I mean, basically because of the large community --- ### An Excellent CMS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brent A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for free trial - Reviewed: April 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall I find it a delight to work with. Highly recommended. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love all the following: the Infrastructure as Code that allows me to define my models through software, the SDK that allows me to load or update content via automation, the apps that allow webhook integrations such as with Gatsby, Netlify and Github. Finally, I love that it is a SaaS offering where data backups and DB upgrades are not my problem! #### Cons Thee free tier allows me to make two CMS systems. It would be nice if the free tier offered, say, up to five. The first paid for tier feels pricey if all I need was simply that third "not-free" CMS. It would be great if they had a "per CMS" paid tier that allowed a third, fourth, fifth CMS (etc.) at $3.95/month each...or something like that. #### Reasons for switching to Contentful Maintenance on WordPress content is clumsy. In particular, the developer work-flow for WordPress is horrible. --- ### Achieve Content Consistency and Efficiency with Contentful - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Angela N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Contentful allows us to structure our content exactly how we need it with custom content types and fields, making it adaptable for different projects #### Cons Pricing for premium features like advanced customizations and additional environments can get too costly. --- ### Content with Contentful - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Lindsey Raye P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Easy to use, great for the c&$ #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to use, updates quickly when edited. The CTA flexibility was the best. #### Cons The child pages and drop down menu were all intertwined or bootstrapped to Ruby and Heroku so the ability to edit those areas was more difficult #### Reasons for choosing Contentful Integration capability for Heroku --- ### Robust and intuitive CMS platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brett R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - 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: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It has a simple user interface and a small learning curve. It provides a powerful open API integration that allows you to connect with any third party application. It makes it easy to configure our content workflow to fit today's needs. The tool also has editing options available for published content and preview of the changes made. #### Cons For new users navigating the pages is a bit tricky. It is necessary that they improve the pricing models and adapt them to the needs of the companies. --- ### Contentful CMS is not only easy to learn and use but also easy to scale and maintain - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Muneeb K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Contentful is a very cost-effective content management tool if you're not planning to add tons of content. It's easy to scale but can be pricy. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I have worked with a number of different CMS platforms but I like Contentful for its ease of use and scalability. It can help you manage large amounts of data with minimal effort. It works great for static websites as well. #### Cons There's a fair bit of a learning curve, but benefits outweigh time investment. I'm not a fan of the pricing plans. The lowest tier is very affordable but other options are very expensive. --- ### The best option for a headless CMS - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: John M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It is truly cloud-first for a headless approach. You can build your content model and control your input with easy validation (min/max/regex) and even dependencies on other models. It is truly headless and integration with node, react, asp.net, and php have all been relatively easy. Node was definitely the easiest integration. #### Cons I would have said migration between environments, but they recently released a solution for that. I haven't verified it but I'm excited about it. I think the other thing is dealing with deleted fields, it makes it a bit challenging that you have to remove it from view and then delete it to make sure it won't break the existing model. I also get frustrated when I make an existing field that is required and there is no notification that the content doesn't match the new criteria. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 64 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/contentful-profile/reviews/) ## Contentful Popular Comparisons [Kontent.ai vs Contentful](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/contentful-profile/vs/kontico-kontent/)[Payload vs Contentful](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/contentful-profile/vs/payload-cms/)[Agility CMS vs Contentful](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cms/agilitycms-profile/vs/contentful/)[Strapi vs Contentful](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/contentful-profile/vs/strapi/)[Directus vs Contentful](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/contentful-profile/vs/directus/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/contentful-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Content Management Software [Square 9](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cms/square-9-profile/) **4.5** (146) Recently recommended **20** times [FileHold](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cms/filehold-profile/) **4.7** (56) Recently recommended **15** times [Klyck](https://www.softwareadvice.com/business-plan/klyck-profile/) **4.9** (29) Recently recommended **14** times [Centralpoint](https://www.softwareadvice.com/crm/centralpoint-profile/) **4.6** (9) Recently recommended **9** times Stuck Between Options?
