What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use. It's pretty easy to navigate through and understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Assets management. There should be an easier way to correct items in assets including simply re-naming them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to populate content quickly and easily. The faster we can get contnet on our site, the better and the more likely we are to obtain new clients.

Good product but found the sales team a little predatory

  • August 03, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is really nice and professional looking. I like that you can customise and organise the sidebar. Their API SDK uses TypeScript so it's essentially self documenting.

Performance is pretty good once things are cached but awful when not. The SWR Cache customisation is nice.

The ACL system is really thorough and very extensible.

Localisation is good and the UI for it is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pagination is limited to 100 when every other competitor has 250 to 1,000 and it's a little frustrating because it cannot be updated. The rate limits are also harsh (even when you're using your own private cluster they insist on some limits). I hit rate-limits when testing locally, by myself and hadn't even sent any traffic yet.

They don't support proper image optimisation with a provide like Imgix or even Cloudflare image resizing.

The free tier is very limiting which makes it hard for you to evaluate the product and they won't let you evaluate it properly without signing you up in a yearly contract if you need more models to evaluate it properly. Other Headless CMS's allow you to have more models and you only need Enterprise after you're sending enterprise level traffic.

The sales team will essentially tell you that everything is possible, everything is fast, the dedicated cluster can handle unlimited traffic, the rate limits are non-existent - until you sign for a 1 year contract of 2,000/mo and suddenly reality hits after you send real traffic.

If you want to extend it by adding users or locales you first have to speak to the sales team and wait for a contract amendment just to increase a number that most systems allow you to do in an admin panel. They'll try to upsell those users and locales to save money when it's $60/user instead of $10/user.

When you have pay-as-you-go pricing models like AWS where you pay for exactly what you use, I hate when companies push you into large contracts up-front and make you pay before you can properly evaluate it. It's like going to a club, asking if it's busy inside and only after paying, realising that it's actually empty.

In systems like Builder.io I'm able to make my project grow in small increments by increasing the required page views, bandwidth and users without having to sign a contract for a year before I need it. It makes the relationship feel sour and predatory.

Unfortunately our previous CTO signed for it and then they wouldn't let us cancel the contract so we're paying for it and have since moved on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Headless CMS with multi-tenancy and localisation for serving millions of users. The ACL system is great for allowing lots of users and picking exactly what they're able to see and edit.

Absolutely amazing. One of the best CMS out there

  • August 03, 2023

What do you like best about the product?
It is a powerful tool and saved my team a lot of time. It's versatile, easy to use and has a cool design. In addition to it has many smart features, it is very fast.
The support team is wonderful, fast and professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a blocker but there is no easy integration with media management platforms like Cloudinary or other. Hygraph supports assets upload, which is nice, but you can't query only the fields you need from the assets, you need to get the entire data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a multilanguage website and needed a fast content management solution with GraphQL, easy to use but with lots of features. Hygraph provided.

A solid platform that's getting better every day

  • August 03, 2023

What do you like best about the product?
Implementing the tool was a straightforward process and we've not faced any issues with Hygraph so far.

We're super happy with Hygraph as our CMS and we don't see ourselves moving out of it for years to come. It's lightweight, configuration has been a breeze, and uploading content has only gotten easier over the years. Formatting especially has improved massively over the years, and I'm excited to see how the platform grows and what the Hygraph team has in store for the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that comes to mind as of now. The devs are doing great work - kudos to the entire team behind the product!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us keep a whole library of webpages organized. Getting content from document to website has been a faster, smoother process. GraphCMS has helped our webdev team keep loading times low and empowered our marketing teams to publish content independently with minimal intervention.


    Information Technology and Services

Extensive platform with a lot of functionality

  • August 03, 2023

What do you like best about the product?
From my limited experience with Hygraph, I'd say the flexibility the product provides with fields is very useful for our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit complex to figure out on the first few log ins after others from an organization have already set up the content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a library of content that we manage through Hygraph. We've given engineering time back to do the more important system work on their plate. Anyone can manage our content once they learn how Hygraph works, which is nice.


    Entertainment

What do you dislike about the product?
wish there was an easier way to preview as I edit

Creating a page for an event and its very easy


    Music

Excellent choice for our product

  • August 03, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is super easy to use, good documentations and I love the usage of graphQL. Having multiple branches also helped us a lot in our development. Its schema also provides everything we need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think there is anything we dislike about it. Maybe having an extra branch would have helped so we could have production, staging and dev. Other than that I think it is all right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Considering that we have our own designs so we had to choose a Headless CMS so we tried different ones and we picked HyGraph. In addition, it had a good support team.
