Contentful vs. Lengow

Contentful is well suited for folks who want a simple, clean, easy-to-use interface for a JAVASCRIPT website. If you do not want a javascript website you should look [elsewhere].

We have a PIM, which displays a product feed in JSON format. With Lengow we were able to import it very easily and then we connected it to a marketplace. Price and quantity updates are very frequent, this allows us to provide always updated data to customers. It is difficult to create promotions from the interface of Lengow, but once you learn you can do it easily.

• Clean, modern interface (not clunky and outdated, like WordPress)
• High degree of flexibility (I can structure data any way my clients need)
• Enables headless frontend (i.e. I can build any frontend I want without having to change my CMS)

Incentivized

• Marketplaces Integration
• Products info updates
• User friendly graphic

• The new Contentful "branches" feature looked promising (it appears to mirror a git-like repository) but it requires the CLI, which isn't necessarily practical for teams that aren't current CLI users. It would be nice if the management of this feature were available via the UI (without that it causes more confusion than anything).
• The Contentful data modeling method makes for a bit of an awkward SDK developer experience in some strongly typed languages like Java. Most things that you might need can be accomplished, but it feels like the experience could be smoother.
• It would be nice if there were a way to migrate data between spaces (e.g. from your staging space to production).

• Attribute editing rules
• Real time API stock integration
• More marketplaces

Easy to use and much more organized as a single platform versus multi. The layout is clean and easy to read and we don’t have to worry about certain users safe guarding data or content then losing it when they leave the company. It’s a one stop shop for imagery

Lengow turned out to be much cheaper, for our current needs it was enough. However ChannelAdvisor is a valid alternative more complete and with more tools available.
