Simple to use and the search function is top notch. Workflow also very good for larger content teams.
We havent yet found a good way to preview updates. This is key really for content owners as they need to preview work before final publishing.
Great content management. Easy for content owners to manage the site right down to resource strings!
cross-platform data sharing, modeling data, references on other models, webhook push notifications on data change, email notification if webhook is not working.
there are missing some primitive values like boolean, UI was little confusing when I started using it. Didn't find how to disable some data fields (some of our data is coming outside and content users can't edit them)
collecting data from api (from another CMS) and enriching them with user-edited data. Benefit: multilevel of data update => editing Kentico when you want fast change, not depending on outside data
Flawless content modelling and content creation process.
Asset management as such is not a strong part of Kentico Kontent, but this won´t last for long.
The whole content creation process in one place. From brief to publication including planning, scheduling and extensive collaboration.
ease of use and inputing content. User can create complex content (with inline content of different type) ractically wihtout treining. Very intuitive.
Nothing, really. It can be slow at times?
Content and multimedia data storage for tens of websites. Centralization and ease of control of content
Kentico Cloud is a rapidly evolving product that is consistently adding new features. But the part I like the most about the platform is the absolute speed at which the Kentico Cloud API delivers content to our applications. It is faster than I thought possible.
Sometimes the user interface is less than stellar when it comes to large implementations with many content items. It is totally workable don't get me wrong, with with hundreds or thousands of items it feels a bit clunky at times. But this is minor in the overall user experience, and honestly all other headless cms interfaces have this issue at times.
At my company we needed to launch a new website fast. Using Kentico Cloud allowed us to deliver the project in under two weeks from start to finish because our marketing team was able to concentrate on the full content model and content curation process without having to wait for development. In fact the development process started after all of the content was complete. That never happens!
The .NET API is great. The magic of DisplayFor in your model where it auto renders all the nested content models is a huge time saver.
No integrated search in the platform that can be used by consumers of the content. Third Party workarounds are required.
Management all website content.
I like that the content management app is really nicely done. There is the flexibility of creating your won blocks, there is i18n, templates, and great tutorials. SEO covered too. Kentico Kontent is so robust that I don't see that anybody can compete with it.
There is some work needs to be done in order to lunch your website. But much less than in other cases.
Content versioning, verification and releasing. Getting content from the single place into any other platforms
We're using Kentico to handle content and more. To preserve data from business logic in the current system that has no other space. In case of change in technical requirements it is very easy to expand / update the existing structure. And teaching end-users (editors) what is to be done there is also very easy.
Some features are still needed to maintain data integrity in business-level projects, where data validation is necessary to automate. It includes unique verification rules, additional field constraints options, etc. What also amazed us is that the measured traffic includes access to property.
You can begin very quickly. Kentico Kontent has a simple user experience and a distinct gui. I obtain fast and useful responses every time I contacted technical support. And the reliability and availability of APIs have never been problematic. The key questions are answered in the documents and many design tools and SDKs are available to ensure a smooth development process.
Really easy integration to all of our services and apps. Delivery API libraries makes the integration really fast.
I miss the option to use SSO (Single Sign On) with the Professional version of the Kentico Kontent. However it is included in the Enterprise package.
Unified access to the same content without the need to duplicate it across multiple solutions. We do not need to set up complicated infrastructure to start using the Kentico Kontent.
Four things: Content creation and collaboration capabilities - easy to set up custom workflows. Content ecosystem hub unifying content silos - training users only on a single system and having content only within a single spot. Multilingual support. On the technical side the well-documented API allowed us to integrate in almost no time.
Nothing, in particular, it does what its meant for.
Increasing engagement and interaction of visitors.
The speed of content entry and the flexibility of content assembly.
Not so much a dislike but we're very much looking forward to some of the features that are on the roadmap. We just want those now!
The two main areas we have utilised Kentico Cloud are: 1. Componentised content-managed websites where content needs to be structured but easily assembled into rich, engaging website pages. 2. Omni-channel digital experiences where structured content needs to be delivered to multiple channels easily
The whole platform is fast and responsive. Creating the content model is a breeze, it's a pleasure to use. It allows non technical users to get up and running in no time. I contacted support a few times with very specific and semi technical questions and they responded within minutes, the best customer support I have worked with. I also contact support with a feature request and after an approval flow it was implemented and I can now use the enhancement in my project. The documentation and examples are very well written and allow you to work on integrations like webhooks without wasting time on trying to figure out how things work.
It would be nice to have a personalization engine / rules, on the other hand maybe it's good if Kentico Cloud sticks to it's core business, offering a very good headless CMS
Speeding up go to market Delivering a CMS at a much lower cost Offering a user friendly platform to marketers Completing integration with other platforms using webhooks
generic items as childs vor content are extremly useful
the visual design could use some improvement
Marketing content, structured data whicj has to be changed and manualy put in
Ease of use in configuration, as well as ease of use for data entry.
Lack of connectors to other CMS solutions.
Headless CMS. Platform for managing content creation.
The initial implementation was quite simple and the responsiveness is great.
Deserializing the JSON objects can be difficult with complex templates. We figured it out, but it took a little work.
We were attempting to get away from an older CMS that was costly, slow, and complicated. We were able to implement the free version of Kentico Cloud with no costs but development, the load times of the sites are drastically improved, and access points for the data are loaded in one place.
