  • The user interface is intuitive and cleanly designed.
  • The functionality is flexible which allows us to build our own application behind the CMS that meets business needs without being restricted by limitations in the CMS.
  • The service we get from our Account Manager and Technical contacts is excellent.
  • The accessibility of the User Interface, especially for screen-reader users, could be improved.
  • Introduction of a dark mode, or options for re-skinning the UI
  • More freedom to create deeper levels of nested Modular Blocks to fit our use case of Few Content Types & Many Entries

  • Content versioning across various environments
  • Good technical documentation
  • Flexible architecture that supports many use cases
  • In my opinion it's not very intuitive. I've found its difficult to understand how to best structure entries, especially if they are related
  • In my experience, entries can get difficult to understand if weren't the creator. It would be helpful to have some meta data around the entry itself and the fields within them in my opinion.
  • Integration with an A/B testing platform would be nice.

  • Enables us to build and architect content through the use of their easy to use software and user interface.
  • Customer service has been by far the most reliable and responsive in any vendor i've dealt with.
  • Listens to feedback and builds features and technical improvements that helps customers usability and experience.
  • Although there has been significant improvements in the journey to improving their user interface i still think there are some little quirks that could be resolved. nothing major or a deal breaker but would certainly help reduce friction. eg display of modular block list could be easier on the eye and have a description or a screenshot of what the block is or does so that content editors don't need to learn every block name and what it does.
