"Excellent CMS for developers with GraphQL, media management, block editor and multilingual content"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Minimum setup required to trigger deploys of the site e.g. to Vercel. Flexible type system (schema) and extendable block-based editor.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

The price is too high for smaller projects with ~1000 records. The lowest-paid plan is 199€/month. The free plan is suitable for development only.

What problems is DatoCMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Deploying a multilingual website with rich media to a global audience. The main benefits were low maintenance costs for IT and an easy and joyful editing experience for editors.

"Easy to setup, customize to your need, and great dev experience"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Data modeling is easy to understand, tweak, and tailor to your need. Nothing is frozen and it's really easy to change your mind / data design. Graphql API makes it a joy to work with and integrate with Next or Gatsby. Image management with rich API & CDN is also a joy. Support is great too, and pricing is fair when you consider the other player in the same fields.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

I would love to have reverse relationships for graphQL API: you have posts that belong to a category, you can get the linked category from the post, you can get all post for a given category, but you don't have a post collection on your category model. It seems really costly to do, and the workaround are not that bad,

What problems is DatoCMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Self-hosting a headless CMS is time-consuming, and a good CDN can be pricy. DATO does both with a great UX & DX.

"Hands down the best headless CMS available – and with sensible pricing, too"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

DatoCMS allows you to create a fully customised CMS backend for JAMstack websites. You can model data structures accurately while allowing editors the ability to easily manage content. Data can then be pulled down into your app via a variety of APIs which work well. The system is responsive and the developers are friendly and genuinely engaged with how their product is used. Sensible pricing is offered, meaning that even smaller companies can benefit from this great product.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

The CMS user interface – already the best on the market – could still be better if there was a final layer of usability polish applied. Some terminology is still designed for highly technical end-users. The interface is very solid but there are also occasionally bugs. Some parts of some of the APIs are not as well documented as I'd like.

What problems is DatoCMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I provide easy-to-use CMSs for client websites that allow them to edit their site in a safe and controlled way. I can provide clients with only and exactly the controls they need, so that editing is simple, and they can't accidentally break anything.

"DatoCMS is a well rounded CMS with rapid & helpful support"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

Modular content allows to build complete pages by mix & matching different blocks, very flexible.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

Pricing is a little more complicated than it used to be, but it's miles cheaper than alternatives. We tried dozen before settling on DatoCMS; the only one that comes close in terms of feature is Contentstack, but pricing is on another level.

What problems is DatoCMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using DatoCMS as a headless CMS for Gatsby. It works like a charm.

"A very complete and fast CMS"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

We choose DatoCMS because we needed an easy way to implement localization in our pages, migrate all of our pages to a WYSIWYG format with no complications and manage roles for the people in the company. And this CMS has everything that we needed, a lot of plugins, libraries to integrate it with React, excellent localization management, very good performance and an amazing way to manage webhooks. DatoCMS has everything that we need!

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

This may be a bit technical review, but something very very complicated is updating content in specific fields types. For example, I have a big modular block and I wanted to create the content of it from a script written in Nodejs, as I didn't how to do it, I had to make a change manually in the model, check the browser's console -> network, expand the request and look for that field to see the format that DatoCMS uses to save it, then copy that structure into my Nodejs script and adapt it to save the information that I needed. Another thing that I struggled with, is translating a structured text but keeping the format of the original content. This was veeery dificult to me, but I managed to make it. I think that is something very normal that you have an english blog post and you want to translate it to french/italian or any other language, but you want to keep the original format of the WYSIWYG editor. Those are things that I have to take a looot of time to figure out how to do it, but I was able to. I'm not saying that the CMS is worse than other ones because of my feedback, not at all, I think Dato is the better one with no doubts. But IMHO those things could be improved.

What problems is DatoCMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Now we are able have multiple languages on our site, have a better performance compared to our actual CMS (we are migrating from another one to Dato), we were able to implement ISR with DatoCMS webhooks (which is aaawesome!). Our content editors are happy because they have an amazing WYSIWYG editor and an amazing way to edit images! Also, I love the Nodejs client, the libraries to manage structured text with react and the graphql API, now is easier for us to get information from a CMS.

"A flexible and well-rounded CMS, with top-notch editor & developer experience"
What do you like best about DatoCMS?

It is clear that the Dato team has put a lot of effort in understanding their users' needs. They value their customers and provide excellent support. From a developer standpoint, DatoCMS is simply amazing. There are just so many good features and the CMS is really easy to implement. The docs are great and thorough. The dozen of available starter projects help you get going real fast. The GraphQL Content Delivery API allows for full typesafety when using Typescript and codegen. Webhooks work great. And what I like the most, by building your own custom plugins, it is possible to extend the functionality of DatoCMS in any imaginable way. True flexibility.

What do you dislike about DatoCMS?

I have actually not found anything to dislike about DatoCMS in comparison to other CMS platforms.

What problems is DatoCMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

For clients, we have used DatoCMS to build a great content management solution for marketing sites, and are currently implementing DatoCMS for a more advanced use case: an education platform, having the entirety of the admin portal inside of Dato using custom plugins.
