Super easy to implement and use
What do you like best about the product?
Great for everyone who is creating the site, from API integration to less technical content management. It is incredibly effective and simple. I personally love the little fun snippets / questions that pop up when waiting a small moment for the page to load.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little back button would be useful. When changing or tweaking content sometimes you're keen to go back a few steps to what was previously written, the version inbetween the last publish and the new one when you are editing on the fly. It means some creativity it is lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We required a simple CMS to include in the rebuild of our entire platform and after assessing other headless CMS we felt Contentful was right for our needs. Contentful also demonstrate great ethos as a company which is important for us.
Smooth UX, excellent API
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful has made it extremely easy to split the responsibilities for some of our web applications and allow development to operate separately from Content management. We're a non-technical organisation with staff having a wide range of experience levels and comfort regarding using technology so the ease-of-use and friendliness of Contentful's UI has been great.
From a dev perspective having such flexible GraphQL/REST access to the data to pipe into multiple mediums is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
Only missing feature I can think of is the ability to batch webhook requests. So no matter how many updates are made in [window of time] only one webhook request will be fired. Would save a lot of build minutes when it comes to static site rebuilding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Separating our content and content-editing concerns from our presentational concerns has been a huge advantage. The team responsible for managing the data can operate separately from the team responsible for development, and multiple methods can be used to present that data to our organization's clients. We work with vulnerable people and not all are comfortable with using the internet to receive information, so we're able to present the same data using automatically generated leaflets and digital signage in our waiting rooms for the rest.
A great content management tool for your business
What do you like best about the product?
A unified structure to collect content form all sources and publish them as per your requirements. The tool provides a power open API integration that enables you to connect with any third app. The tool also have draft and editing option available for posted and scheduled content. It also keeps track of modification history to revert any change.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program requires a developer to get the most out of it. There is no preview option available for your contents. Third party plugins like spell checker are not very efficient. Granting access to more people to work on one's content is not possible with a very difficult back end to operate correctly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool is very helpful, flexible and cost efficient as compared to other content management systems. It has a very clean and powerful interface. The tool also enables folder organization and supports media uploads. Sometimes we faces access problem while giving our team rights to edit content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Great CMS tool that helped scale our website, BootUpPD.org!
What do you like best about the product?
Contentful makes it easy for our team to create and manage website content without having to worry about messing up the code! Paired with GatsbyJS, they've made website development and management easier than imaginable. They're quick to answer questions, allow for ultimate content modeling flexibility, quick querying via Graphql, and our developer loves working with them. Gone are the days of operating a headless WP, Drupal or *insert old tech here*, security updates, and complicated plugins - we use Contentful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for those who are unfamiliar with CMS tools. The rich text editor is also something that can use some improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A faster, more reliable website that we can't break! A robust tool that allows for customization while maintaining structured content throughout the site.
We used Contentful for various small and mid sized projects successfully
What do you like best about the product?
Setting up a project takes minutes and then you are up and running. Also the environments mechanism makes it very easy to try out things. The UI is very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The smaller instances could provide more languages and it would be good to set permissions on content level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We create marketing microsites and corporate websites.
Great experience implementing as an agency partner
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Contentful is that you can truly use your content anywhere. You name the channel and Contentful will be able to deliver. It’s a welcome departure from the prescribed ‘one size fits all’ solutions you find with many CMS/DXP vendors.

This means our clients aspirations of a bespoke, best-in-class customer experience, that scales and adapts when they need it, can be readily achieved

Decoupled enterprise tech - most effective for business leaders with go-to-market urgency
What do you like best about the product?
For firms with monolithic WCMS software and IT resource dependency, Contentful is designed to co-exist with legacy content and data repositories, and it is so popular that business leaders can design and launch new digital products without being hamstrung by legacy IT.
What do you dislike about the product?
Contentful product marketing is still more of a "tech developers love us" messaging. Contentful could do a better job of more easily describing how quickly they solve business problems for marketers, sales leadership, HR executives and digital product leaders.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Digital wealth management and investing tools. We've realized super fast go-to-market time frames with helping grow revenue by having digitized services to offer to new markets.
API First, extensible headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
There are many thing I like about Contentful. For me, what I like best about Contentful is their commitment to enhancing and maturing the product. I have witnessed significant change of the product since I first started using it in 2016.
What do you dislike about the product?
Due to Contentful's powerful content modeling capabilities, the web admin UI can become a challenge, especially when your solution involves many models. Happy to say that the admin UI continues to be enhanced and that Contentful has made serious strides forward over the last couple of years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily, I've leveraged Contentful for channel agnostic experience and content management. In a previous role, the team used Contentful to manage offers and mobile app configs.
