Contentful Reviews

My main use case for Contentful is for migrating our Oracle ATG server into Contentful as a migration project.

During that migration project, we created multiple content types and developed a custom app where we map the ATG server code to our content types. We used that mapping to import the particular content to Contentful.

After the migration, we used this particular content for the website, specifically for our client Sephora, where we utilized all this content.

Contentful offers many best features including Preview, Custom Apps, migrations, Merge App, and workflows.

We used the preview feature whenever we wanted to see how particular content looks, and at that time we ran our server locally and tested it. Additionally, we used custom apps for building bulk editors and multiple features where we could reuse some of the code.

Contentful has positively impacted my organization as it has been a major breakthrough. The producers can automatically update their content without relying on developers, which is really helpful for the producers.

I could say we saved around 60% of the time for developers. Previously, we maintained all the content, but now producers handle that, which allows developers and producers to publish their content immediately when they want to update it.

Contentful needs to be improved for migration, not only for migration, but from lower to higher environments as well, as the schema diffs and everything are not working as expected. Improving the CI/CD pipelines would be greatly helpful, and it could build similar capabilities to Builder.io for enhanced growth when using Contentful.

I have been using Contentful for more than five years.

Contentful is stable.

Contentful is scalable. We can scale the application to any level we want without any problems regarding scalability.

Customer support is good. There are three levels of support available, and level one support resolves issues within 15 minutes to one hour.

We previously used ATG Oracle Cloud, which is too old and requires developers to handle the cloud architecture and content, leading to our migration to Contentful.

I have seen a return on investment. Previously, we used to have 10 developers for the ATG Oracle cloud, but for Contentful, we only need two developers, and once it is streamlined, producers can handle everything without the need for developers.

I evaluated Strapi, but Strapi requires everything to be done by the developer only, including in-house premises and deployments, while Contentful allows us to do everything on the fly.

Others looking into using Contentful can use it seamlessly without relying on any other deployments. Everything is present in Contentful itself, and any custom apps can also be deployed within Contentful without needing separate servers.

I am using Contentful for content management system. I code and make a website from it, fetching the data from Contentful. I use Contentful for images and contents. I work on Contentful for my website projects.

I am currently working on my Digistep website project. To fetch the data, I first upload content in Contentful, including images and media in the media section. After that, I fetch the data in my code, which appears in the browser as output.

I use Contentful for content management system and performance optimization. Using Contentful increases my website performance to approximately 90 plus performance. In PageSpeed Insights, the performance shows 90 plus after using Contentful.

My best experience is that Contentful is very easy to use and helps with authoring purposes. A non-technical person can easily work on Contentful from the authoring end. That is the best part of Contentful.

For integrations, I use Contentful through GraphQL API and Content Management API and many more. Contentful is very useful. After using it, the data with large memory size is reduced and the page reloading capacity is increased.

The page speed is increased because when I test my website performance in PageSpeed Insights, it shows good performance.

Contentful would be improved if integrations could be made easier. If a non-technical person wants to integrate the code, they will definitely struggle because they do not have any coding background. That is what I need to improve in Contentful.

I have been working in my field for approximately four years.

Contentful is stable.

Contentful is scalable and easy to use.

I have used a CMS for the first time in my organization, which is Contentful.

I advise using Contentful as the first option because it is scalable and stable with all features included. My company is a customer, and we use Contentful as a service. I would rate this review ten out of ten.

My main use case for Contentful is website development. In my website development process, we work with Contentful as a content management system. From Contentful, we fetch data that includes all the contents and images.

This is all that we use in Contentful on a day-to-day basis.

The best feature of Contentful is that it is very easy for authoring purposes. Anyone who is not in a technical role or is non-technical can easily perform content authoring from there.

This feature impacts my team positively. Our manager can use Contentful easily and can change content or upload a new blog and manage it from there. If there is no change required from the code end, it is easy for content management and easy for our manager to use Contentful through authoring.

Contentful has positively impacted my organization, as I have noticed that our website performance is very good. Contentful improved our website performance by providing faster reloading, and user experience became very beneficial for users.

I think Contentful is providing features that are well and good. There is no improvement required at this time.

I have been using Contentful for nearly four years.

Contentful is stable.

Contentful's scalability is good and it handles growth and increased traffic well for my organization.

I did not use any CMS tool before Contentful. Contentful is the only solution I have used.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Contentful is good. The pricing is bearable, and this experience has been very positive for me.

I did not evaluate other options as I am using Contentful only and prefer Contentful.

I would not add anything else about the features. With Contentful, I save time. I save a significant amount of time while managing Contentful. I can recommend Contentful as it is very good and reliable. I gave this product a rating of 10.

My main use case for Contentful is optimizing images and videos. While people use Contentful to build websites, Contentful does not provide an inbuilt image and video optimizer. ImageKit fills this gap, allowing people who use Contentful to optimize their images and providing a digital asset management solution inside the Contentful UI itself. That is the kind of integration I am working with in Contentful.

I have a website and want to optimize my images and videos using Contentful to build that website, which is very easy. I can use my own frontend and then use the API to build that website, while also integrating ImageKit, which is my current organization. It is a mixture of these two approaches.

The best features Contentful offers are its APIs and how easy it is to integrate them. Feature-wise, the majority of CMSs are the same; I have used Strapi, and feature-wise, those are similar. The ease of use and the way Contentful provides the APIs and how easy it is to fetch the data directly and use it in your frontend is the best part. I have not explored many features, having mostly built a basic web page, so there could be features that I am not aware of, but the ones I have used were quite intuitive and easier to use.

Contentful's impact on my organization is that we do not use it very much. Contentful has not helped my organization or our customers achieve any measurable benefits, such as saving time or improving workflows, as we have not measured that. It does help customers who are using Contentful, but I have not quantified it.

Contentful works well for me; I might need to explore it a bit more to identify improvements. As I mentioned, I have been using it for a specific task, which it accomplishes quite well. I built a web page and integrated ImageKit successfully, so it works well in that way. Perhaps in the future, I can provide more feedback for this question.

I have been using Contentful for around a year, mostly integrating it with my current company, ImageKit, which is an image CDN and image and video CDN, and that integrates well with Contentful. That is how I started working on Contentful.

Contentful is stable in my experience; it is quite stable. The UI works well, as I did not encounter any issues with it and the APIs seem to work without problems.

I have not scaled Contentful to that level, so I would not be able to comment, but I would assume it is scalable.

I have not had any experience with customer support, as I managed to figure out the majority of things using the documentation and other resources. Therefore, I did not need to reach out for support.

I have used multiple solutions before Contentful because I work with many customers using different systems. I have used WordPress, Magento, Shopify, Strapi, and then Contentful. Strapi and Contentful stand out to me because they are next-generation CMSs, where the APIs and functionality are much easier to understand. It is JavaScript-based, making it a very easy way to start building websites. While I have not switched away from others, I see a definite improvement compared to WordPress and other traditional CMS systems.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I did not use the price plan; I was using the free plan, which did what I wanted it to do. Therefore, I cannot comment on the cost. The setup was easy, which I think would be the same even for the free plan and the pricing plan, but since I have not used the paid tier, I cannot speak on it.

I was using the free plan which did what I wanted it to do. Therefore, I cannot comment on the cost.

I have seen a return on investment with Contentful, as it definitely saves time. Even if someone is not technical, they can provide a structure, and then someone from the technical team can pull data. Contentful gives a lot of control in terms of what you want, allowing even non-technical people to contribute positively. As a SaaS, it also helps significantly since you do not need to host it and deal with associated complexities.

Contentful has not helped my organization or our customers achieve any measurable benefits, such as saving time or improving workflows, as we have not measured that. It does help customers who are using Contentful, but I have not quantified it.

My advice to others looking into using Contentful is to definitely try it because if they have a use case of providing some sort of tool for their non-technical people to build things, Contentful stands out. I have used Strapi, which can be a little more technical and tougher for people to understand. Contentful, in contrast, enables non-technical users to build things while their technical team can then integrate it.

I would rate my overall experience with Contentful as a 7 out of 10.

My main use case for Contentful is to set up content for content tools and entries for my clients as I create website pages using Contentful. I developed a custom page where clients can easily create pages from Contentful itself.

I am currently developing a website using Contentful that can be dynamic, specifically focusing on how I use content types for my clients.

The best features Contentful offers are easy data management, separate environments for different stages such as QA, UAT, production, and staging, and the ability to create dynamic pages using content.

Contentful has positively impacted my organization by making things easier. I am able to create new pages immediately without significant additional development effort.

Contentful has helped my organization in specific ways. Changing data has become much easier, so I do not have to deploy every time data changes in my application. If clients need more pages, I can build them immediately without any development work.

Contentful could be improved in the following ways. It would be much easier if I could move data from one environment to another without any CLI tools. An option to move data from one environment to another would be beneficial, so I do not have to move data manually.

I have been using Contentful for the last six months.

I would advise others looking into using Contentful that it would be a good opportunity because it significantly reduces development effort and makes it easier to manage changes. I would rate this product a 7.
