Contentful Composable Content Platform

My main use case for Contentful  in that recent project is image content management, including image content and descriptions that we are not getting from our server. Examples include launch screens, dynamic banners, and product images. Some product images we are getting from Contentful.

I will give you an example of how I used Contentful for managing those images and banners in my project. I am working on a kiosk and mobile application. For the kiosk use case, we have a launch screen where we are showing a few banners, and the banner is totally based on the store. For instance, there is a store X where I need to play a promotional banner for a tendy at 4.9 dollars, and there is a store Y where I want to promote a tendy with 3.9 dollars. In that scenario, I use it in the kiosk. For the mobile application, I use it extensively. We integrated a loyalty platform, and for all the loyalty information, we are fetching from Contentful. We are configuring the loyalty data from Contentful and retrieving it. Also, for some product images, we are using Contentful.

These are the major use cases which I am using.

The best features Contentful offers in my experience are the management of the content. I can configure my content based on the store, time zone, and time frame. I can configure my data on a specific store and a default store. I can have the last updated data. This makes it too easy for me to manage my dynamic content.

When I talk about configuring content by store and time frame, that flexibility helps my team and my workflow. For example, I want to play a promotion in my kiosk only from 10 AM to 7 PM. After that, I want to play a different promotion. I would just configure it with the help of Contentful. I will use the time slot or time frame where I will show a promotional banner, X banner, from 10 to 7. After 10 to 7, I will show the default banner.

Contentful has positively impacted my organization as it upscales the revenue and enhances my mobile and kiosk application appearance and feel with dynamic content. We have integrated it for the loyalty as well. So it helps us to retain our customers with the dynamic content of the loyalty and dynamic promotion from the loyalty, which we are configuring into Contentful. Also, for promotion purposes, we are using Contentful, so it is totally worth it.

As far as I use Contentful, it is totally fine. There is no improvement for now. As I am using it for only six to eight months, I am not the correct person to judge or prejudge Contentful. I want to explore more as I am an active user of Contentful.

I am using Contentful for the last seven to eight months in one of my recent projects.

Contentful is stable in my experience, and I find it totally stable.

In terms of the scalability part of Contentful, it is totally fine, and I have not faced any challenges in my past experience.

My experience with customer support is that I have not reached out to them. It has been working fine, so I have not needed it yet.

In the initial stage of the product I am working on, we chose Contentful, so we have not explored anything else.

Before choosing Contentful, we did not evaluate other options, as we have not explored any other tool.

I have seen a return on investment, and I can share relevant metrics in terms of money saved and time saved. It saved money and resource time. If I were implementing dynamic content management in-house, it would take a lot of effort to implement and then integrate. Contentful is a platform where I can just get the license and start working on that. So it is quite easy, and with its help, we are able to get the data from Contentful. Obviously, if we are using Contentful, we just need to configure our data with no worry about how Contentful manages our dynamic data.

I am not the right person to answer this question as we have our separate team who finalizes it. There is a finance team who takes all the decisions regarding costing and everything. I am on the tech side, so I can help with the technical part.

All the features I use, I have explained to you, and I am pretty much in love with Contentful. I would rate Contentful a nine out of ten. I am in the exploring phase, that is why I am deducting one point.

I choose a nine for Contentful because of its performance, and it is bug-free and easy to implement. Contentful is easy to integrate. With the help of GraphQL, we can easily handle my Contentful data. That is why I gave a nine.

My advice to others looking into using Contentful is that if you have a use case where you need to dynamically manage the content, then you should definitely go with Contentful. Contentful has a very stable product and is bug-free. First of all, it is bug-free and easy to configure. Anyone from the team can easily configure our Contentful. I am giving this review a rating of nine out of ten.

My main use case for Contentful  is building websites and managing the content. We have a public facing website where we showcase our products and offerings to people, and all of that content, images, and everything is managed through Contentful .

The best features Contentful offers include the Rich Text editor, the linking, the images, pages, and templates. I rely heavily on the Rich Text editor because that is where I create customized components. For example, Rich Text lets us paste images and links, and based on the JSON response structure we receive from Contentful with the GraphQL query, we know the structure of it, which helps render specific components on the screen, such as a banner that will have background images, buttons, and text, and the same goes for the slider and carousel.

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. This has led to measurable outcomes, such as a faster time-to-market and reduced workload for developers.

I think Contentful can be improved in several ways. 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. Additionally, cost-wise, I feel our organization thinks it is too much because we were planning to use Contentful for our global site, which has four languages support, and for each language, we need to create different spaces. If Contentful could allow us to add the four languages in one go, that would be great.

I have been using Contentful for the last two years.

Contentful is stable.

Contentful's scalability is good.

The customer support for Contentful is good.

Previously, we used an on-premise based Content Management System, which was Adobe AEM, and we changed to Contentful because of faster deployment and evolving technologies.

I would say we have seen a return on investment because the cost in the infrastructure got saved. Contentful is a platform offering that manages the infrastructure for us, resulting in savings in terms of infrastructure.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that mostly, a developer will not be managing those aspects, but from my point of view, Contentful is a bit pricey.

I rate Contentful an eight on a scale of one to ten. My advice for others looking into using Contentful is to go for it. I have no additional thoughts about Contentful before we wrap up. My overall rating for this review is eight.

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 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.
