Contentful vs. Ingeniux CMS

Well suited for our needs of multiple images for auto auctions from a variety of sellers. Pointing them to one platform is easier than attempting to use a variety of platforms as we were doing before (email, slack, Dropbox and Google Drive would randomly be used by a variety of employees )

This is a CMS solution that uses ASP and now XSLT and ASP.NET MVC environment, so make sure your servers are Windows based. Also, be sure to speak about audits to your CMS environment, this can save you time, money and energy if you intend on developing anything custom in the future. The more prepared your environment, the smoother it is to use this powerful cms.

• Its dashboard is quite clear and visible.
• Its reports are very flexible and helpful for us since they contain all the information that is necessary.
• The content scheduling feature is good in facilitating us by publishing the content at the time we set.
• A content repository is amazing as it allows editing, tagging and managing, and storage of the published as well as scheduled publish content.

• 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.

• SEO Management - though our courses are not available free publicly but still within our systems a better search engine for the courses and its content could work very well.
• Ingeniux could be more interactive when it comes to exporting/importing documents.

In the past we've used WordPress to manage documentation content. WordPress was more flexible than Contentful but also prone to inconsistencies and we ended having a lot of hacks to accomplish various WordPress tricks. With Contentful there's less ambiguity so content producers are less likely to go astray. We also have our own in-house programmatic template solution for managing content, but this was a previous pain point when we needed to get the dev team to do a deploy for every content change.

I have only used the free versions of the other softwares. My Ingeniux CMS experience was much better but I had the paid version

• Company employees can easily locate product documentation now. Our team doesn't have to field nearly as many pings and calls from people looking for content.
• The writers can manage the content much more easily now. For example, multiple writers can work on individual topics as opposed to passing around Word files.
• We can single-source content that is duplicated across the site. This is a huge time saver.
