Content workflows have become faster and empower non-technical teams to update pages independently
Contentful makes it easier for non-technical teams to update content by providing organized, flexible data models with support for a variety of data types and content editors such as WYSIWYG form fields and raw text areas. It has great built-in versioning features with history and draft states, so it is easy to make updates and revert when needed. Some of the best features that Contentful offers include organized, flexible data models with support for a variety of data types and content editors such as WYSIWYG form fields and raw text. Contentful has great built-in versioning features with history and draft states, making it easy to make updates and revert when needed. Additionally, it has a very intuitive user interface and good support for multiple spaces, which can be helpful for companies that need separate projects for development, staging, and production. It is also very cost-effective and powerful, and it keeps a history of changes made to the content easily. The versioning and multiple spaces features of Contentful have helped my team manage content effectively, as we leverage Contentful's headless CMS capabilities to easily build a static website using modern technology such as GatsbyJS and ReactJS, making it an ideal solution for small businesses and startups seeking a low-maintenance approach. It is a very scalable tool. Contentful has positively impacted my organization as it is very scalable, can be used by any size of organization, and is a very cost-effective tool. It helps us save cost, especially when dealing with a lot of content compared to other alternatives. Its intuitive design facilitates seamless updates of photos and written content while providing the ability to revert changes when necessary. It has been a very good tool because I am able to spend less time maintaining websites, and my clients spend less time worrying about their site crashing or being hacked. This tool has allowed me to be much more flexible with the types of front-end technology I can use. Since it is very easy to use for all types of technical users, there is no time wasted. It enabled rapid project delivery and low-cost projects for my organization. Since adopting Contentful, we have seen an increase in sales and marketing from 45% to 65%. More work is delivered due to reusability and other features within a shorter time and with less manual effort.

Rapid landing page creation has boosted targeted campaigns and improved conversion tracking
Everything is actually great with Storyblok. One small improvement that Storyblok could make is that some of the more advanced configurations still require the help of our developers. It is not 100% developer free for us. This could be improved and made easier for non-technical people to do the work without the dependency of developers. Apart from that, I do not have any other major complaints or issues with Storyblok. In terms of knowledge-based documents, there are a lot of gaps in the knowledge-based documents that are available. A lot more work needs to be done there. Apart from that, the platform is very intuitive and very easy to learn, so we don't have any major issues regarding that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Website management has become very easy, and content updates to websites are straightforward."
"Contentful has impacted my organization positively because it has been a game changer since we started using this tool."
"Contentful offers great features such as various plugin options, an excellent preview option, scheduling, and workflows, making it simple to create, author, and publish content efficiently with an intuitive interface."
"We have definitely seen a return on investment with Contentful, as we have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing fees and additional vendor fees and have also saved approximately months of time being able to spin up landing pages and content while maintaining a small team without relying on external agency or department support."
"The best features Contentful offers are its APIs and how easy it is to integrate them."
"I have definitely seen a positive return on investment with Contentful, due to time-saving and efficiency gains, team collaborations, and resource optimizations, which have also positively impacted the revenue."
"Contentful has positively impacted my organization by making things easier, as I am able to create new pages immediately without significant additional development effort."
"Contentful has impacted my organization positively because the business is able to change the content without the help of a developer, and they can make a deployment very easily."
"With the help of Storyblok, we are now able to create landing pages in 20 minutes, whereas earlier it took around five to six hours, and overall, a 70% reduction in our overall deployment time has been achieved along with a 50% increase in our overall sales and revenue after the introduction of Storyblok."
"Storyblok has positively impacted our organization by helping us do projects in a certain way with its really great features."
"Storyblok has positively impacted our organization by helping our clients move away from traditional CMS and achieve a high-performance website along with reduced costs."
"Storyblok gives us the flexibility to rapidly respond to client needs because every client project is going to be different, and it allows us to manage that in a simple interface which we love and our clients love too."
"The return on investment helps me scale my business; without it, I would not even exist probably, so the return on investment is huge."
"Most of the clients need to have full control over their websites, and this provides them with the biggest freedom, along with the live preview."
"The best features Storyblok offers are the blocks building, how easy it is to use, the tag management, and the ability to easily manage pictures and assets in general."
"Storyblok has positively impacted my organization because we delivered this website to a very important customer, and they were very happy with the management system."
 

Cons

"I think Contentful could be improved if it could include built-in localization, meaning translation of language, and allow for creative editing of visual and imagery."
"Apart from that, the price is a bit high when we are storing more content in the CMS."
"I wish Contentful would provide a better feature for publishing all content entries at once."
"There was no return on investment. It was very expensive to implement all the needed specialties a company needs for its public publish strategy, to publish the content in different countries, different markets, and different languages."
"There were challenges because when I was creating a solution, I didn't know Contentful very well. I found a lot of problems with types and matching in TypeScript types with the fields I was using and with the API and the full module."
"Sometimes the linking is challenging. If you are using too many links, then it is actually making the application deployment time longer, so Contentful needs to figure out a way to solve that problem."
"Contentful would be improved if integrations could be made easier."
"I have seen a return on investment with fewer employees needed and time saved, but the money costs are quite high."
"Also, the pricing is a little expensive, but the features offered justify the cost."
"I think Storyblok is the best CMS out there; however, I would rate it a nine because there is still room for improvement, particularly with the documentation."
"The only downside I would mention about my use of Storyblok in these projects was the cache management system that Storyblok has; it was not very good, but all the rest was amazing."
"I chose eight for my rating because I believe Storyblok still needs to work on localization, slugs, auto-translate, and all the plugins related to this part."
"I believe there are some parts that definitely can be improved inside Storyblok, such as the way content is listed out in certain areas, which makes it a little difficult to delete content."
"Storyblok can be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of schema creation, and it could also possibly improve the way assets are saved and persisted."
"They did change the pricing about 18 months ago, and at the lowest paid tier, they did take away a bit of the features or the number of seats you can get, so it can get expensive quickly, which is an issue when you're working with smaller clients who still want to have some flexibility."
