Contentful is well suited for folks who want a simple, clean, easy-to-use interface for a JAVASCRIPT website. If you do not want a javascript website you should look [elsewhere].

Kentico Xperience
Kentico is a robust and flexible CMS platform that is great for managing multiple websites and multiple environments (dev, stage, and production for instance). It makes content management very easy and makes it easy to keep the environments synced with the same content.However, the Kentico CMS does require a bit more technical understanding to get it set up properly and requires a bit more effort and support than, say, free open-source options.

Contentful
- Clean, modern interface (not clunky and outdated, like WordPress)
- High degree of flexibility (I can structure data any way my clients need)
- Enables headless frontend (i.e. I can build any frontend I want without having to change my CMS)

Kentico Xperience
- I love the intuitive top and left navigation within the content management platform. I can easily find what section, sub-section, and page I'm looking to edit
- For creating content, the WYSIWYG editor is so intuitive; it feels like you're working on an MS Word doc!
- The tab for adding metadata in simple fields takes away the headache of having to hunt and peck through code to add H1 tag, page description etc.
- The image library is easy to edit and manage

Wholesale Company, 501-1000 employeesCons
Contentful
- The new Contentful "branches" feature looked promising (it appears to mirror a git-like repository) but it requires the CLI, which isn't necessarily practical for teams that aren't current CLI users. It would be nice if the management of this feature were available via the UI (without that it causes more confusion than anything).
- The Contentful data modeling method makes for a bit of an awkward SDK developer experience in some strongly typed languages like Java. Most things that you might need can be accomplished, but it feels like the experience could be smoother.
- It would be nice if there were a way to migrate data between spaces (e.g. from your staging space to production).

Kentico Xperience
- Kentico needs to invest in more enterprise class environment management utilities -- example: global CDN support via the CMS is sorely lacking. There are work-arounds, but it should be more elegant.
- The Kentico staging module could be improved to support the concept of bundled releases. Current staging module functionality is good, but could be improved.
- Kentico ecommerce support is a touch immature. While content management is superb, Kentico lags in this area when compared to many open source ecommerce engines.
- Kentico is lacking MVC support. 99% of the time this isn't an issue for the end-user or business user, but can be a hurdle for technology teams depending on the team's makeup.

We are locked into Kentico for the long haul. It provides us with an easy and flexible solution for a very non technical company to create a site and have the features they want, especially with the inclusion of EMS into our license. Now we have a true platform to build and grow our solutions.

It seriously is one of the best interfaces I have ever used. I also love the fact that I can use UI personalization to secure any functionality by user or role that I don't want that role to have access to. The best part is the customization of the UI, I can add in any button, tab, or menu item I want through it, no code required.

Contentful offers a great deal of features for a relatively low price. This is what ended up persuading us to purchase it. We also gathered that this was one of the more well-rated products out there, which was encouraging. It definitely stacks up well against its competitors.

I've used Sitecore, Ektron, Joomla!, WordPress, and SharePoint (if you want to count that as a competitor for CMS). Kentico 8 blows them all out of the water. Nothing is more intuitive in the way that content is created, the way the site is setup, and how efficient rollouts can be with Content Staging.

Return on Investment
Contentful
- Positive: faster changes and new associates can easily navigate without prior training/knowledge of CMS to make content updates
- Negative: Our website manager/provider can keep certain abilities (like changing specific images) so they can charge a fee for making the change
