IT innovation for CMS to work faster and better

What differentiates Decap CMS from other similar products?

When I first saw Netlify CMS, I thought to myself, "Cool, maybe I'll try that someday when I'm researching CMSs for a new project." Then I realized it's a true CMS because it gives a content management interface to any static site builder that works with flat files!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

With the best instrument, I had a fantastic overall experience. It can run a CMS without the need for a backend database or service. It allows me to use Git as a backend system for my CMS, lowering costs and simplifying things for myself and my clients. For us, it's great. It gives high-quality work.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I miss or believe is difficult to achieve in Netlify CMS is having a Graphical editor for bespoke components that I design. Another thing I detest is how all of the starts and examples force me to use Netlify for some reason or another, making it more difficult to install my unique auth service.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're searching for an out-of-the-box static site solution, look at netlify. For anyone working on a modest project, this is still a viable alternative. I wouldn't advocate this for a client, and at that point, you should be paying for anything.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Reliable
Trustworthy
Efficient Service

Efficient CMS platform

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Decap CMS from other similar products?

For my blogs and landing pages, I utilize Netlify as a free, serverless CMS solution. I appreciate how we can use NetlifyCMS with GitHub as the backend to implement all of the processes of a blog like WordPress or Ghost without having to use any other backend compute server.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

For more versatile and speedier web projects, we combine Netlify CMS with any site generator. We can complete our work in the shortest period possible thanks to their fastest speed. Their static site's scalability function gives a user-friendly editing interface to our material. It's a single-page react app that allows us to make custom-styled previews.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There isn't much documentation available. It's difficult to sell to clients because most people are unfamiliar with it. Setting up admin authentication can be perplexing at times. However, if we put in some practice time, it becomes second nature because practice makes a man perfect.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend starting with Netlify without Netlify CMS and then adding it once you've gained a greater understanding of the Netlify platform. Distinguishing between "Netlify" features and structure and "Netlify CMS" features and structure was one of the most difficult tasks for me.

Pros

Performance Enhancing
Effective Service
Inspires Innovation
