Contentful helps companies unlock the power of digital content so they can build faster and deliver at scale, making their content a strategic business asset.
Built for mid-market & enterprises, Zesty powers content distribution to websites, apps, IoT, e-commerce platforms and digital signage. And as more channels appear we will serve there as well.
The benefits of using Contentful Content Platform are that, if you need it, you can save a lot of writing time and help the quality and quantity of the content you write.
I notice also that they don't offer phone support, only email. I can only imagine how frustrating they would be in action if they're this hard to get information out of before purchase.
We've been using this product for a couple of projects now - glad to mention we're a happy customer. Recommend this to everyone who wants to create a flexible CMS powered web application.
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.
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.
You can get lost if you don't know what you're doing.
It has a good balance of cost and features. Their API is feature rich allowing us to extend Contentful and tightly integrate it with our systems.
Previewing content prior to publication is limited.
I find it as enjoyable to use as a CMS can be. There was some learning curve but once comfortable with the environment it's a powerful and easy platform.
I worry that when there is a major overhaul of the software, I'll not be able to get a contractor onboard to support me quickly. Thankfully, few overhauls have taken place so far.
But Zesty was committed to delivering what was promised, we overcame the challenges together, and developed a strong relationship in the process. Our team enjoyed using the platform.
Some of the engineers steps are not intuitive (how the pages/datasets, etc work). There is no way to edit within an IDE of choice.
The customer service is EXCELLENT. Very available, very responsive, backed by actual engineers.
Function for managing redirects was limited. This made site re-builds more time-consuming.
Highly recommend if you are looking for industrial-strength CMS with almost infinite flexibility for developers. If you want a cheap template-y solution, this is not what you want.
Some of the Media organization is a little quirky. That is really the only negative.
