Butter CMS Reviews & Product Details

The recent improvements to ButterCMS have been a great step forward. The new dashboard introduces a trash bin for deleted items and better version management, allowing users to compare two versions. Additionally, the UX/UI has seen some minor but effective refinements, making navigation smoother. These updates make content management more efficient and user-friendly, which is a big plus for both developers and marketers. Another strong point is the customer support, which is always available, quick to respond, and open to feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite the improvements, some issues still need attention. Version comparison is not yet available for collection items, which limits flexibility. Additionally, when a media file is deleted, it remains accessible for some time due to caching issues, and there is no indication of whether it is still being used elsewhere. Furthermore, while the Collections section has seen functional improvements, its UI still needs refinement to enhance usability. Fixing these aspects would greatly improve the overall experience.

I like the will to improve and to make the product better. The feeling of being heard is a great thing for those (like me) who work daily with Butter CMS for developing purposes.

For example, the filters were added in the Collections page turned out to be pretty useful.

Overall, it's quite easy to use and today I can say I feel comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On the big picture, the graphical interface has improved, but I don't feel comfortable with the new Collections landing page. I would like to land on the page and have the items already divided by collection.

For what concerns the single item of a collection, it would be crucial to have the possibility to compare the current version with the previous ones.

Last but not least, it would be nice to be able to retrieve multiple pages with a single http request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ButterCMS does a great job at tackling a lot of pain points for migrating, developing, and managing a headless website experience. If you're new to the platform, it's easy to jump in and get going right away. The documentation is superb, and all the tools have videos showcasing each feature.

The content modelling experience is familiar from a developers perspective. Features like the repeater and conditional fields adds a lot of flexibilty for those clients that demand heavy customization. The components also give you code snippets, allowing you to adapt to whatever programming your website requires. This has allowed us to get into various other frameworks without a lot of ramp-up. The built-in blog features and page types simplifies ways to architect your content.

Compared to other headless CMS platforms, Butter offer's the most competitive pricing model available for all business sizes, from startups to enterprise. Pricing has always been a major barrier for smaller companies who want to make the leap to headless. Additionally, the customer support is byfar the best within the industry. We always get a response very quickly. You're also getting direct access with the engineering team instead of getting routed through multiple levels of agents.

ButterCMS is incredibly open to feedback in terms of platform features, and we've seen things that weren't in the roadmap being added later on.

Tech debt is also a heavy consideration when using a SaaS a platform like ButterCMS. You don't have to take on the burdeon of updating dependencies and servers. Butter handles all the maintenance, scaling, and security. This allows us to focus on delivering high-wality services to our clients without worrying about underlying infrastructure.

Performance is stellar and on par with what you would expect for a headless CMS. We've never experienced any issues with downtime. If you're looking to transition to a headless architecture, ButterCMS makes that transition a seamless, rewarding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ButterCMS has a smaller ecosystem in terms of third-party integrations. The very nature of using an headless architecture that's uses API integrations doesn't really require plugins. However, it would be nice when working with other platforms to see a ButterCMS connection already setup, particurarily for ecommerce. It would also be neat to see more starter templates that include a lot of the standard features. This would help with smaller sites getting to launch much faster. In theory you can already use a react-based template and just connect to ButterCMS, so it's a nice-to-have addition for just cutting some time off development. Additionally it would be great to have more features in terms of cloning an entire website to version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The headless nature makes it incredibly flexible from a developer perspective. You can use any technology stack you'd like to make an awesome website that's highly customizable by content authors. Super straightforward to implement. The support team is also really responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some quirks/missing features that make things a little less smooth for content authors in my opinion. It would huge if we could group fields in custom components to help keep things organized. For really powerful components with tons of options, the long list of editable fields can get pretty hard to navigate. Being able to organize them into collapsable groups would a huge improvement to the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate about ButterCMS is how easy it is to dive in and start working right away. I had no prior experience with any CMS, yet part of my role involved using ButterCMS. After reading the documentation, I was able to begin the very next day. The more time I spent, the easier it became to navigate and utilize. Within a few weeks, I had even built my own internal-use page. I frequently go into ButterCMS to make changes, which are quick and easy to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one drawback I’ve found is the media library. Searching for specific media can be challenging since everything is stored in a single, unorganized bucket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Butter cms is an easy to use tool for content management. I help manage content for over 60 languages and it keeps them easily organized and loads in the content very quickly. If we do have an issue their customer support is great and get back to us very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some missing features that we would like but we are working with Butter on getting them added. there isn't a really easy way to copy something quickly to each market on the site it has to be done one at a time so time spent may go up this way but this is a small issue on a great platform.

It is incredibly user-friendly and allows me to switch between tasks easily. All the blog posting tools are fast and responsive, and every page has a clean user interface.

I haven't encountered any real problems with Butter CMS. There may be the occasional formatting issue, but these are easily fixed without assistance and occur infrequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well we have used ButterCMS for all our projects now and I gotta say thats it's implementation is pretty easy and allows a lot of modification. Migration from develop data to production is smooth and translating page content into different languages has never been easier. After joyning our internal ButterCMS Team I can also say that the customer support is pretty nice and working with them in routines always leaves a positive feeling.

On the other hand there is still some room to grow. Migration from develop data to production isn't possible via patches. Also blog post can't jet be localized the same way pages can, which might spirals cost into unknown heights if your reliant on those and also need to localize a couple of languages.

Butter CMS is easy to use and collaborate with other team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any particular dislikes but maybe in terms of design I have to work with developers to get things looking exactly how I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
