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.

If you're struggling to reach a target audience in a touchpoint other than email/print, Lytics is for your business. If your website doesn't have much web traffic, Lytics is NOT for you. It doesn't help with external acquisitions, only with retaining customers who are already on your site.

Pros
  • Contentful provides organized, flexible data models with support for a variety of data types and content editors (e.g. WYSIWYGs, form fields, raw text areas).
  • Contentful has great built-in versioning features with history and draft states so it's easy to make updates and revert when needed.
  • Contentful has an intuitive user interface and good support for multiple spaces (which can be helpful for companies that need separate projects for dev/staging/production).

  • Customization: users are limited to pre-made designs.
  • Design: we have the same issue here; it would be great if users could upload designs from Creative Cloud.
  • Integration: it can be confusing to pair with other applications.
