Contentful vs. Lengow

Coming from WordPress, Contentful feels like content management as it should be. There's no clutter to get rid of, you can simply start building from scratch, and the end product is perfectly tailored to your or your clients needs.

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.

• Contentful has great built-in versioning features with history and draft states so it's easy to make updates and revert when needed.
