TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

Kapost has been widely used by customers to effectively organize and manage their content, providing easy access based on specific customer segmentation. Users have praised the software for its ability to track workflow, offering a visual outline of content progress and ensuring that all team members are on the same page. It has played a key role in planning, creating, curating, managing, and disseminating customer-facing marketing content across organizations. With Kapost, marketing teams have experienced increased visibility into their efforts and benefited from having a centralized location for storing and retrieving materials. The software has become the central nervous system of the marketing department, allowing team members to collaborate seamlessly and stay updated on each other's projects. Additionally, different teams such as sales enablement and channel sales find value in using various parts of the platform. Kapost has also addressed version control, workflow, visibility, and storage issues commonly faced by marketing departments.

Based on user reviews, users recommend engaging a designer for designs outside of the platform. They also suggest obtaining buy-in from the entire team and stakeholders before purchasing Kapost to fully realize its benefits. Starting with a few content types and simple workflows is advised to get users accustomed to the tool gradually. Users highly recommend using Kapost for larger marketing teams, as it helps improve content creation efficiency and enables access to finished content throughout the organization. However, some reviewers mention that search capabilities and drag-and-drop functionality could be improved. It is noted that while Kapost is a powerful tool for marketing content management, it may be better suited for small and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, considering Kapost as an easy-to-use marketing content management solution is encouraged due to its ability to streamline the content development process.

It is used across the entire organization for many things. The most important being information sharing across the company and all departments. Having multiple offices worldwide has enabled us to have the same information at our fingertips. When I travel for work, I often need some information and I can access any type of content by search or category or department easily an download it.
  • Gallery is easy to navigate.
  • I love the favorites tab so I can keep track of my most used or valued information.
  • Trending is a neat feature to see what is popular.
  • Search is valuable but the key words seem to take a while for the system to find, I have to use multiple word choices or switch to a specific collection.
  • I think some type of links from search could be useful.
  • Layout isn't the prettiest.
Good central space to access content for disparate organizations. Great resource for worldwide offices and remote workers. I use it all the time when I travel to get the most up to date marketing ans sales content, I like links in it and that I can down load content easily.

  • Saves time on email Q&A
  • Saves time on training
  • Consistent messaging content for the company
None - I did not look at other competitors or evaluated them. I did hear word of mouth that Wrike is a main competitor and offers a very good product that rivals Kapost reputation and features.
The reputation of the product matches up to its reputation as one of the leaders in the space. I love that you can share and access content at your fingertips from anywhere. The downside is that it does not have the prettiest interface but you can get over this with its functionality.
The calendar view is a great feature and so are the custom views. It is relatively easy to see a clear view of what content the user is responsible for and then the due dates associated to it. The ability to create and update workflows for the team is easy to navigate and keeps us on track.

Plain & simple: we use Kapost to plan, create, curate, manage and disseminate all of our customer-facing marketing content across our enterprise. It'sour go-to content repository for all of our sales reps and they can access it through SFDC - ensuring they have the most up-to-date customer-facing collateral.
  • Create workflows for various projects and task categories (whitepaper creation, trade show, etc.) that make sure you don't miss a critical step in any marketing initiative.
  • Profiles our content archives, ensuring we have the right mix of content for all of our key personas, in each stage of the buying cycle.
  • Reliable and easy to access repository of content for all of our sales reps. They rely heavily on it because it's trustworthy, accurate and easy to use.
  • There are some advanced tools out there that we've evaluated that have some slick sales enablement features, ML-powered tagging & embedded web features that encourage binge-consumption of content on your website, but they overlap with Kapost as a 'repository' so it doesn't make sense to have both. I'm really hoping Kapost invests in adding these kinds of features to their roadmap.
Kapost has potential to be a great asset in small and large orgs. If you're not producing a great deal of content, or coordinating across a large team, there's still tremendous value, but it scales as your org scales because it makes it easier to coordinate and manage large teams and large content archives.

  • Better visibility into your whole content inventory.
  • Easier for sales to find and use relevant content.
  • Easy to manage and monitor progress in the content creation process.
  • As with any workflow /project management tool, the project management adds another layer of work, but it's worth it.
I've used basic tools like SharePoint in the past as a content repository, but it's not user friendly, not well organized, hard to manage and not well-suited for marketing content (version control issues, etc. ). Get a dedicated tool!

Kapost is being used to manage a wide range of marketing content across three collaborating organizations (corporation, agency and publishing company). It has greatly helped increase visibility into marketing efforts, shows where projects stand in the pipeline and provides a central location to store and find all materials.
  • Visibility -- it's easy to see a project's progression and find materials already completed. Users can access all content in one place and a dashboard shows all tasks assigned to you that still need completed. Materials are easy to search, with a variety of filter categories to show only what you need and want to see.
  • File management -- It's easy to upload and save all materials for a project. Access to recent projects can easily be found via the dashboard. Organization is key!
  • Communication -- working and communicating with others is easy with the ability to email users outside of Kapost from within the system, as well as communicate with reviewers and content managers via a text-message like format.
  • Organization -- unless a standardized naming convention for files is in place, large dumps of content can easily get 'lost' if not organized in a standardized manner for everyone involved.
  • Email functionality -- when emailing to non-Kapost users, a proper email system with formatting options would be nice. Currently, once it sends the email out, the copy tends to all run together versus the paragraphs I initially start out with.
  • Navigation -- some navigation windows could use either a drop down box or larger box to include more content. Scrolling can be difficult and a bit cumbersome in a tiny box that only shows 2-3 lines of content.
Do you have large amounts of content and marketing materials to manage? Are various parties working on multiple projects? If so, then this will greatly help keep things organized in one central place.
  • Increased visibility of a project's lifecycle.
  • Increased employee efficiency -- having all content in one place minimizes duplication of content already produced, increases access to materials, and keeps a project on deadline.

It's easy to expand across an organization and the software is continuously being improved with new features rolled out to all users.

Kapost is integral to our marketing, product marketing, and even sales teams. It allows us to:
-scale the production of content with consistent workflows by content type
-organize and manage that content by utilizing custom fields and metadata tagging
-publish content to a variety of channels from one single platform
It addresses problems around scale, management, organization, and consistent user experience.

  • Creation of custom fields to organize and "tag" your content in a way that works best for your organization
  • Integrations with key platforms: Marketo, Salesforce, Wordpress, social channels
  • Custom reports to let you play with data, perform content gap analyses, inventories, etc.
  • No bulk tagging. We have several custom fields with picklists that I'd really like to bulk tag to.
  • Occasional bugs can be frustrating; Sometimes a feature functionality doesn't make sense even when Support explains Product's "logic" for building it the way they did (can feel like they don't always truly understand the user perspective or even the field of content management).
  • "Collaborative" editing capabilities severely lacking.
-May be less suited for smaller organizations from an affordability perspective.
-Not well suited for organizations without a dedicated content person to own, manage, and maintain the platform (similar to a Salesforce admin or data analyst/content manager).

  • increased employee efficiency; content reuse
  • more insight into content we have (past, present, future)
  • faster content production for more content
Kapost is really designed for content production and management, not more broadly for project management like Basecamp and JIRA. It's a very hybrid product that straddles tools: CMS, automated workflow management, DAM (less so, but sort of), and has unique features that make it excellent for content strategists and content managers.
