Satisfactory CMS product
Likeliness to Recommend
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.

An Affordable Content Management System
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Decap CMS from other similar products?
I can create high-performance sites and applications with the aid of their cutting-edge and efficient features. I can't have many complaints about a CMS that is free and simple to use. They speed up the process through which I can design a fantastic interface for my website's users. Unlike others, this is a very adaptable and user-friendly platform.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
In addition, the software makes it easy for users to maintain a steady work tempo and finish the project on schedule. Since I can utilize Git as a backend service for my CMS, it helps me save money and makes my work easier for my customers. The capability to operate a content management system (CMS) independently of any server or service is a plus for me.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The software works great, but it has some downsides. The user interface is still somewhat simplistic and could need some refinement. In addition, the app often displays irritating server problems. Using Netlify as a content management system disrupts the smooth operation of the hosting service. This program does not enable handling big organizations or a significant amount of files.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The clean design of this utility makes it all the more useful. It is also user-friendly and has advanced options out of the box. This tool's usage of Git reduces its price, making its acquisition worthwhile. As a complete platform for websites and online projects, Netlify CMS comes highly recommended to me. They make it simple for me to upload new content to my website.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
