What differentiates Decap CMS from other similar products?

The user interface of Netlify CMS is excellent in and of itself, but especially when compared to other similar CMS interfaces. Everything is neatly laid out, and it's simple to sort and edit our content.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's my favorite tool for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it's the most simple platform, allowing our non-technical staff to easily add content to any site. Second, it provides incredibly high security to our content, freeing us up to focus on business growth. Finally, we can easily integrate it with static site generators, which provides great results in terms of safe online projects, site development, higher flexibility, and many more.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Previously we were having difficulties in using the application therefore I left it but still, it doesn't resolve my problem. The documentation bothers me. Netlify is very simple to set up and use, but Netlify CMS is much more difficult to set up and use.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's as simple as changing your website's nameservers and selecting the level of security you want to use Netlify CMS. The entire site transition should take less than an hour. It's also helpful that they respond to my emails regularly. In a nutshell, it's a solid platform.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy

Awesome set of CMS tools

10 / 10

What differentiates Decap CMS from other similar products?

Netlify CMS is notably more scalable than similar CMS. Netlify is also more flexible and works faster upon integration with Git workflow. You can create unique custom-styled previews and add your desired plugins.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It costs less to build your own CMS and CDN. With Netlify you get full control over the content you manage and you don't have to be a tech savvy to actualize this.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are very limited ways to define content schema.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

From my experience, Netlify is very suitable for static and content management because it gives you the speed and scalability to manage your content.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

Satisfactory CMS product

What differentiates Decap CMS from other similar products?

The best thing which differentiates it from the other vendors is that it uses modern tools and frameworks for making website templates. Instead of earlier technologies it uses a single-page approach like react which makes the website fast and smooth. It uses GitHub as a backend which means we can have access to every single code in our repository. It provides various templates which look modern and enhance the user experience. As netlify also provides the hosting service, it is a lot easier to deploy the website with just a few clicks, with no need to install anything.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really like the various templates it provides which look amazing and we can choose them according to our needs. It enables us to make a website in minutes, we can simply deploy the website and can take benefit of its cms features. It provides great support and has an amazing slack community where you can find solutions to your every problem while making a website. The best thing I like about it is that it has modern components which make our website fast and responsive.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Even though it has various features but it lacks customization tools for the templates. We have to rely on the basic theme only as it is hard to add custom components. Moreover, their documentation is a bit hard to understand for a beginner. And I found that scaling a project here can be a tedious task.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend it if you are looking for a cms tool to make websites quickly that look modern and are not laggy on various devices. But is only recommended for small-level projects as scaling the project here can be a hard task.

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
  • Saves Time
