ButterCMS

Fast and user-friendly platform

Pros

I use ButterCMS every day for my work. It's incredibly user friendly, allowing me to switch between tasks with ease. The blog posting tools are fast and responsive and each page has a clean user interface. Customer support is also excellent.

Cons

I haven't faced any significant issues with it so far just sometimes there are minor formatting glitches but these are easy to resolve by myself and happen infrequently.

Flawless performance

Pros

The setup was super fast, saving us time and money on a developer. It integrates well with our BigCommerce e-commerce backend, so we are confident in having a fully functioning e-commerce website. As a not a very professional technical marketer, it is still simple to use, allowing me to tweak and update our site myself. When I have needed help, the chat support has been very responsive and helpful, which gives me the confidence to manage our startup's site effectively.

Cons

So far I haven't discovered anything that I dislike.

Revolutionary for headless CMS development with unparalleled flexibility

Pros

ButterCMS really solves many pain points for migrating, developing, and managing a headless website. If you're new to the platform, you can get started quickly. The documentation is excellent, with videos explaining each feature. The content modeling experience is intuitive for developers. Features like repeater and conditional fields offer a lot of flexibility, especially for clients needing heavy customization. The components even come with code snippets to adapt to whatever your website requires. This has helped us get up and running with various frameworks without a lot of ramp-up. The blog features and page types make it easier to structure your content. Compared to other headless CMS platforms, Butter offers the most competitive pricing, from startups to enterprise businesses. Pricing is often a barrier for smaller companies moving to headless, but ButterCMS makes it accessible. Also the customer support is outstanding, we always get quick responses and direct access to the engineering team. ButterCMS is also very open to feedback, and we've seen features get added based on user input. The best part? We don't have to worry about updating dependencies and servers!!!! It handles all the maintenance, scaling, and security. This lets us focus on delivering great services to our clients without infrastructure headaches. Performance is top-notch, with no downtime. If you're transitioning to headless, ButterCMS makes the process smooth and rewarding.

Cons

It has a more limited ecosystem when it comes to third party integrations. Due to its headless architecture that relies on API connections, plugins aren't typically necessary. That said, it would be useful to have pre configured ButterCMS integrations for working with other platforms especially for ecommerce. It would also be helpful to see more starter templates that include common features, which would accelerate the launch process for smaller websites. While it's possible to use a React-based template and link it to ButterCMS, having this ready-to-use feature would save valuable development time. Furthermore, it would be great if there were more tools available for cloning an entire website version.
