Likelihood to Recommend Agility is well suited for companies that want a balance of control and support. For major global site updates, these can be handled by Agility's support team, while minimal changes and updates can be performed autonomously by the company's own staff with ease. For companies that are interested in flexibility to reconstruct site structure or major global facelifts, Agility is less ideal because these changes must be handled and paid for through Agility support.
Read full review I would recommend GraphCMS to anyone who is also using Gatsby to build their website. If not, I would recommend them to consider GraphCMS but also consider other options. GraphCMS is a tool in which you are responsible to make the most out of it, but sometimes this requires more time and knowledge than a normal engineer may be able to handle. But with more time and attention, the reward of off-lifting content creation from the developers is a huge time saver in the long run.
Read full review Pros Unlimited Content Modules which are extremely helpful for file management . Unlimited number of API and Asset Requests File management among the CMS is extraordinarily useful as a hosting tool native to our web content Read full review GraphCMS is easy to work with from the "non-engineer" side of things. GraphCMS is very flexible on what data models we can create and how those models are formed. GraphCMS uses Graph API, which is easy to write (compared to older API patterns). Read full review Cons The filing system and search function are often difficult to navigate. Finding a file that I've uploaded isn't always easy to locate in Agility CMS The WYSIWYG content manager isn't always intuitive. I often have to go directly into HTML editing to resolve line spacing problems Read full review GraphCMS is very expensive at the enterprise level. GraphCMS requires deep knowledge of the system and requires lots of time to be efficient with it (especially around creating specific data patterns/relationships). Multiple times a day, the system will give us errors when attempting to save something but the errors are unclear as to what went wrong (can be irritating).

Read full review Support Rating Support is always available and responsive when we email, responding right away that they are on the case, even if they are unable to solve the issue right away. Support will usually find the issue of our problem quickly and require minimal hand-holding, direction, or re-explanation from our team. They are knowledgeable about the platform and our instance and are able to run diagnostics with minimal information from us. When issues are resolved they always request confirmation that things are working as expected before closing out our tickets.

Read full review We picked GraphCMS since it used Graph API and easily integrated it into our Gatsby website. It was also cheap (free) and easy to test out the product, making it easier to prove to our company we should pay for the product in the long run. Lastly, it seems to have a bunch of support from other developers which makes us confident will be around for a while (and we won't need to replace it anytime soon). Note: I also looked at Directus and DatoCMS but these were not options within TrustRadius
Read full review Return on Investment Helps get contents updated and shared very quickly Ability to have team work based on standard templates ensures content presentation is inline with organizational standards Lack of DB and templates makes it easier for interns to come onboard and develop contents - this is super cost effective Read full review Better use of time for our engineers in the long run. More control of content for people outside of the engineer team. Allows people to edit the content on their own, so they don't need to wait until a developer is available to add something to the website. Read full review ScreenShots
