    Ceros is fantastic for companies who can afford it. It's not ideal for startups who don't have the budget for it. If your company or agency is interested in creating interactive content, but you don't have the skill sets in-house to develop or code them properly, Ceros is for you

    It's a great all rounder for content projects. It's easy in the basics and powerful in the complex, data heavy scenarios. Extending the platform is straightforward and the SDK gives you everything you need. If you have many many varying content types , it gets expensive and perhaps not the best choice .

    Pros
    Ceros
    • Easy to use and adopt user interface. If you know basic Photoshop, you can use this.
    • Encouraging roadmap - the product has gotten better every year. The company obviously listens to client feedback.
    • Smart, dedicated client team - always checking in, comes with new ideas, generally nice people. We always love our meetings with them!

    • Flexible. This CMS can be easily extended and provide access to dynamic content
    • Simple. The WYSWG is very easy to work with and identifying pages and content in the system is fairly easy
    • Clean Interface. The interface is clean and uncluttered keeping focus on the content and not other factors.

    Cons
    Ceros
    • A direct to consumer model
    • Price point is high, but understandably

    • Contentful uses "references" to allow you to build very modular content. If I have a "slider" content type, I can create a "slide" content type which references a "button" content type, and so forth. This works well, but I occasionally wish there was a better solution for one-off content, like a settings page. Currently, this is done for creating an entire content type called "settings" with a single entry. Not a big deal, but not ideal, either.
    • There are a few quirks with GatsbyJS integration, etc, but these issues are being fixed and improved upon very quickly.
    • A minor gripe, but Contentful does not have a way to organize fields within an entry. Entries with many fields are somewhat tiresome to scroll through.

    It is a very easy to use and configure application. I find that it is on the user to manage the content after the models have been created, yet I still do not encounter issues finding or creating new components for our site. It is easy to set up and easy to navigate.

    Our CSMs have always been 100% and their support team typically responds within an hour or two. Their design/build team also worked with us on perfecting several experiences and are always mindful of how a project is going. One of their designers didn't really understand one of our requests and the project took more rounds of revisions than in previous projects, but they rectified the issue and the project came out well in the end. That outcome probably only happened in the time it did due to our CSM consistently checking in and getting feedback throughout the project - unfortunately, not something that happens enough with all our partners.

    Ceros takes what would be difficult to accomplish in the Adobe suite of products and makes it easy. When it comes to user experience, user interface and customization options, Ceros is a much better alternative than Adobe. However, Adobe is the trusted name and some may be more comfortable with Adobe products

    Easy to use and much more organized as a single platform versus multi. The layout is clean and easy to read and we don’t have to worry about certain users safe guarding data or content then losing it when they leave the company. It’s a one stop shop for imagery

    • Contentful has saved us valuable development time that was previously spent doing deploys for minor content updates.
    • Contentful has helped us maintain consistent documentation, reducing time needed to review for consistency.
    • Can't say we've really experienced any negative ROI impacts from using Contentful, but we've run into some limitations in adding too many content models and the next pricing tier is substantially more expensive.
