"Game changer in CMS"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

I like the simple but attractive user interface of Butter CMS. As a content marketer, Meta description and SEO option in Butter CMS is really very helpful to me. I also like its blog post scheduling, team collaboration, data migration, knowledge base, and collection feature.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Everything in Butter CMS is quite alright to me. But there should have some addons features like analytics and other third-party integration that are needed for blogging and content marketing.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most of the CMS requires a moderately complicated process to publish a blog post or article. But in Butter CMS, it is easier now. So, this software is saving my time, money, and effort with a great deal. My overall experience is really very superb with Butter CMS.

I like being able to add different sized imagery to the blog giving you freedom to design the look of your blog better. We use butter for our B2C blog and haven't had any issues.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Would be useful to be able to copy and paste pre-linked content without messing up the formatting some times it adds a extra space so have to manually add all the links.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solved not having to use our valuable tech teams resources to make a custom blog. With the scheduling feature we have saved loads of time and seen our blog views go up.

CMS has been an amazing tool for both our marketing team as well as our development team. By using Butter we are able to efficiently create and update our website.

"Easy to use as both a developer and content creator"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS is super easy to integrate on an existing site. Their processes to build a blog with just a simple command in the console is super helpful. Plus, abstracting all that "developer stuff" and giving content creators their own place to add content is incredibly helpful for any company serious about their blog. The built-in SEO is also great.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

It's best for those who publish content regularly. If you're not pushing out content at least weekly or are not serious about growing your content marketing efforts then you may want to look at other solutions.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to be able to publish content without worrying about spinning up a nice text editor, customizing all my SEO, and doing all the work that comes with developing a high quality blog in RoR. Butter makes all that work easy peasy.

Butter CMS is an excellent tool if you want to make your blogging effective and much easier! Definitely recommend it + really good customer service. We do not have experience with another CMS tool.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

I had trouble once when the uploaded picture and video file didnt published well on our website. but it was solved later, and since that it works without any problems.

More effective articles sharing, management of marketing content team, analytics and content preparation. The best benefit is that once we needed to write articles related to our product, Butter CMS provided us an effective way how to create easily a blog on our platform without any need to code our own solution.

"Butter CMS is an amazing tool that will make your life easier!!!"

It is a very user-friendly tool with an excellent interface. Even if it is the first time you use it, you will find your way around very quickly and make use of its many features.

It is a fantastic tool used mainly by team members without coding experience. Coding experience is not needed; how awesome is that! So I might need to use more to find some negatives.

It is extremely easy to create or update content with Butter CMS. This means the speed when pushing into production drastically improves, and the team can invest their time in other tasks.

"Amazing Customer Support!"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

I love how easy it is to use, I was able to learn my way around the platform very quickly and easily. I especially love the Butter Support Team, they have done an amazing job in helping us make big changes that would have taken us forever to do without their help. They always get back to me in a very timely manner which I greatly appreciate. Nikki in particular is so very kind and has been a tremendous help in helping us overcome obstacles.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

I have yet to experience anything I don't like about butter. We have been able to accomplish everything we need without any issues.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to publish our content very easily. We are able to publish Blogs, E-books, Glossary pages, and more! Our team produces a ton of content so butter makes it pleasantly simple to put those together and schedule them out to publish on our site.

What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Super easy to integrate - development team loved it. Very straight forward back-end management system for design team.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

We didn't really find any - if you need a custom solution it's better to use this type of headless CMS.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a back-end for our custom Progressive Web App for OpenForge.

"Appreciated using ButterCMS for our website"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Our company's experience with ButterCMS was excellent. Our website was hardcoded and we decided to add content and resources long after we originally set it up. It made it so much easier to get started with content and SEO without having to do additional coding. I recommend them to others in a similar situation.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

No complaints. We didn't find anything missing from the product.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

As above, it made it easier to get started with SEO and content marketing for our site. Our domain authority increased a LOT once we started producing content through ButterCMS.

"As Easy To Use As Butter"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

It makes sharing blog posts quick and easy! One of my favorite platforms to use for blog posts so far! My favorite thing about ButterCMS is that I can schedule posts to stay on top of all of my tasks. The scheduling out ability that ButterCMS has lets me plan for more content in the future.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS has so many great tools, but one thing that I would like to see changed in ButterCMS is font sizes of header 1 and header 2 to look less alike once the blog is published. Sometimes when I am reading posts all day I have a hard time telling the differences between the header because the sizes seem so close visually.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can post quality blog content to our website and ButterCMS gives us the ability to have our blogs looks professional and well organized with visual no issues.

"So easy to use"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

I've only been using ButterCMS for a short amount of time in a localization project, but I'm so grateful for the ease of use when translating our current pages in English to International languages. It breaks down each line of text, making my verification and translation tasks quick and smooth.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Maybe I need to use it longer than a couple months to find out, but don't have any suggestions at the moment.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

For my specific team, we've been tasked with taking all our current landing pages and localizing them in multiple languages. This is a huge undertaking with multiple people reviewing every page (the individual CSM, management and marketing), but with Butter CMS, it cuts out the stress and difficulty of such an immense, but very important milestone for our company.

"Butter CMS Easy to Use and Scalable for business"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

The small learning curve for onboarding. Customizable for our business needs. Supports internationalization and localization for content. An excellent choice for your Headless CMS needs. Smooth like Butter ;) Support is also quick responsive and willing to help in many scenarios.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Would be great to have a better way to migrate content for environments. A typical challenge we face is having a Staging and Production instance and moving content from STG to PROD, which has been somewhat cumbersome, however, the support team has many times kicked in and assisted with this migration of data, so kudos to them and their support team!

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a headless CMS, this allows us to cleanly separate our Code and Content, giving our Product Owners and Growth team the ability to update content as they see as necessary without the need to engage with a developer.

"Fantastic partnership and product!"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

ButterCMS is a great product that fits all our company needs without having too many bells and whistles that complicate the product or the UI. What I like best, though, is the customer service. They've helped us do many projects or simplify the projects. Butter has added features when we've asked for them. They are super responsive to questions. Our company is now using Butter across 7 different areas of our business and it's been such a great partnership.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

The user management was very difficult to manage but then Butter went in and completely updated the experience.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use ButterCMS as a way to display dynamic content, creating entire pages hosted by Butter, including a microsite, and our blog is all housed in Butter.

"Great customer service - always"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

As admin, using ButterCMS to manage a website and blog is straightforward and easy. Our dev team enjoyed working with their technology, and any changes I need to have implemented can be done so quickly. But the absolute best is the personal touch and responsiveness of the support team. Even when we've struggled with some issue, they went above and beyond the help.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

The platform requires more technical knowledge to implement changes, but that's what the developers are for.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Super Flexible CMS Solution"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

With only a little bit of our developer time, we built a powerful "curation" feature on our site that allowed our Content team to rapidly create new landing pages with curated video content on our site. Support was solid, as the ButterCMS team quickly answered any questions I had. In my opinion, the Components module is the most powerful part of the ButterCMS platform, and while it's a recent addition, it can supercharge what you are doing. Also, the price is very fair versus some of the competition who attempt to gouge your marketing budget.

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

I found the initial marketing kind of confusing – as some of the marketing sounds like there are no software engineering resources required. That is misleading. To do the initial integration and develop the actual ability to display content on the site DOES take engineering work, design, and custom code. Not a ton, but not trivial either, as you need to do design and development work. However, *after* the team builds what is needed, it's very flexible to change the content if they've done their job well. The Ruby library also needs some help as it's a little oddly built.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping our content team build landing pages using reusable components that our design + dev team created for them. It's made it very easy for our marketing team to build out new campaigns without needing developer resources.

"Functional, simple and fast"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

Our team can separate concerns; developers focus on developing, writers focurs on writing, and so...

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Overall the tool is incredible; however, it can sometimes take a few milliseconds too long to load initially.

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our goal was to write articles and small texts without touching the code; in a simple way and fast enough for constant changes. Butter is helping us achieve that.

"Had to drop my account, but will be back"
What do you like best about Butter CMS?

The interface is seamless and simple to use. Everything is extremely well laid out and easy to find what you need to find. Integration to a vuejs instance was simple. Amazing documentation

What do you dislike about Butter CMS?

Really, I disliked nothing. Just not using a blog for our company anymore. But if you use a js framework then there is no other better option

What problems is Butter CMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy simple blog engine with backend cms. Allows a blogger to focus on writing and not diving in code
