"Very easy to use and set up"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

It comes with speed and GraphQL integration, and it's very lightweight. It doesn't come packed with features I won't use; I can set up my own schema and have only what I need available. If I need to add new fields later, I don't have to break my entire website to do it. Overall I'm very happy with GraphCMS, as it provides exactly what I need.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

EDIT: I just noticed that I can save my column configuration as a custom view! Zero complaints now. :) [This is a very tiny nitpick, but when I view content I've created I have to customize the column view each time as it doesn't seem to get saved. Sometimes I'm working in split-screen view and I'd like to be able to see the content title without having to scroll right. I feel like the title should be further, if not furthest to the left anyway.]

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have an easy and simple way to store all my project information for my personal portfolio, and it has been a joy to work with.

"Amazing CMS for blog posts designing"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

I am using graphcms's blog post creation for our site, where the I am writing posts with graphcms Editor flawlessly. The data is pulled from cms very fast. love it.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Nothing as of now. Graphcms has provided me the best experience ever.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is utilized for dynamic Content management where you generate content on simple Text based editor and you will fire its APIs to load that dynamic data to your website. Given graphcms good design, my difficulty of creating blog posts has reduced to higher extent.

"Simple and easy to use CMS, exactly what we needed."
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Exactly what one might need from a headless CMS. Easy dev setup. GraphQL API, called from a Next.js + Apollo appliation. Intuitive and simple CMS administration.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

GraphCMS has its limitations, that it only offers GraphQL API, or you have to define your own schemas before using them, etc. But all of this is a price paid for straightforward simplicity. Just great.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a headless CMS, which allows us to build our own front-end, but not care about the admin/cms side. We want to serve blog and other types of dynamic content on our site, but we want non-tech employees from the marketing and sales teams to be able to change that content. And since we did not want to build our own CMS, this is the perfect solution in the middle.

The easy to use features of GraphCMS are awesome sauce. 1. Asset management 2. Localization 3. Relationship management 4. GraphQL playground support 5. Add schemas and contents

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Environment management (ie; switching between environments) could have been better.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use GraphCMS for the entire content management for our App. The contents can be easily configured using graph cms ui.

"GraphCMS understands the concept of doing one thing well, and they do it well."
What do you like best about Hygraph?

It's fast and intuitive. I also like that the online tools for managing the models are quick (both reactiveness and navigation wise) and they don't require a steep learning curve to get started.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

The documentation for backloading WYSIWYG blocks could be a little clearer. I had to import a bunch of records, and ended up relying on trial and error to get these fields to load properly. My need was probably more of an edge case (since the whole idea of GraphQL is to collect data that will be later recalled), but it is one part that could be a little clearer.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

We did a set of data which could be related to other data, both as a parent of the other data, or a child, or, in some weird cases, as both. GraphCMS relationships made this intuitive.

"Great headless CMS. Fast and easy to deploy."
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Smart product. Incredibly easy to use for devs and content managers. Lightning-fast content calls.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Per-project price point is too steep for many of my smaller clients, and that will take money out of my pocket as a digital agency.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to build more secure, faster custom websites and applications for smaller projects.

"Amazing tech support saves the day!"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Tech support is excellent. I encountered bugs using the software at first, and they fixed it quickly while keeping me in the loop about the progress every step of the way.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

It's not the most friendly for non-technical.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use GraphCMS at Mage to host the backend for our blogs. It's working fine so far, and in the future, we envision ourselves upgrading our plan as the company scales.

"Best developer experience. Helped me to migrate from Wordpress to JAM Stack within few days."
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Intuitive interface. No clutter. Integrated GraphQL playground. Easy to setup a project and migrate data using GraphQL migrations.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Slightly more complicated URL scheme for images resizing (in comparison to Storyblok)

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

When migrating a website from Wordpress I did not need to download and re-upload pictures as management API accepts URL to an image.

"Great tool and great Support Team!"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

GraphCMS made writing GraphQL queries streamlined and easy. I ran into an issue with setting associations (clicked too fast through set-up) and ultimately broke my code, however, their Support Team responded within 30 minutes and quickly helped me find my issue and resolve it.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

At this moment everything worked great, deploying on Vercel was super easy!

Created a headless CMS style blog.

"It's just awesome!"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Very fast and very easy to configure. In a single day, you can build a fantastic and easy-to-manage API and launch it to your client without even touching a single line of code. It's a powerful tool and definitely will save a lot of time for us developers.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

The admin panel is not yet available for other languages yet.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted a content manager that could make my life easier when creating content and deploying APIs. I started and deployed a blog API within a few minutes. I'm saving time without having to code it all on my own. It is precious to launch products faster.

"Great product, exemplary service"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

We've been using GraphCMS for the past year or so, but over the past couple of months have wanted to lean into our usage of it and have engaged support on two occasions. Both times, customer support has been positively AMAZING to work with, going as far as diving into our user facing code to determine likely causes, following up days after to see how we're doing, and offering the kind of support you just never see out of digital organizations any more.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Nothing, really, but since I've got a minimum character count here, I will say that it would be great to be able to folder or group views in the content editor so that I didn't have to hunt around so much in our catalog.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

The promise GraphCMS makes (and absolutely delivers on) is the ability to allow non-developers to create content that can be customized and displayed in very bespoke interfaces.

"Great for small to medium sized web apps"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

I Really love the easy-to-use features of GraphCMS. Really simple to just create a project, Add Schemas and contents, and be ready to use. I have created a lot of portfolio projects and simple projects with GraphCMS

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

One thing, that could be improved is the ability to add custom fields and data types in the graphCMS dashboard.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

GraphCMS is by far one of the best CMS I have used so far. Works great with creating much E-Commerce to Portfolios and much more projects. Works great with Modern Stacks like Next.js and has a really good community. It can really be a good technology in the future.

"Powerful GraphQL based CMS that has all the features in 1 place"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

GraphCMS is a great way to build application backend data in one place. The sections are very clear and the site is visually appealing. The components are very useful and are feature packed, yet very intuitive. My learning curve was very low compared to other CMS systems and or any other self hosted system.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

There is nothing that I disliked about GraphCMS so far

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed to create applications for flexible CMS data with users like myself and business users make edits to the data structure and the data. It had to be fast, easy to use and easy to extract data for front-end usage. GraphCMS did it all!

"Amazing Product - But first tier pricing is harsh"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

Everthing, it works really well and is highly intuitive.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

The pricing tiers! Much better to offer a pay monthly amount for smaller developers like myself, that provide sites for small concerns/clients. For example, Netlify charge me 19 dollars a month for all the services I need. The price hike from free tier to $299 a month per project is insane.

It solves the problem of over-complicated bloated CMS platforms i've used in the past.

It is very user-friendly, even for non-experienced users as I am. I was able to create my schema easily, and when I had any issue, the team was very helpful.

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

"The most effective, and innovative headless CMS on the market"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

-Coming from an IT background, I found GraphCMS incredibly and flexible. -I was able to create complex schemas (50+ models with around 20 fields each) in less than 4 days, with and without SDK. It usually takes me about a month to accomplish the same result with other platforms/databases. -Localized fields are very easy to set up! -It's very easy to create relationships. -Various UI elements (upload files / pictures / map). -GraphQL integration (It's a must-have for my project) -Very Clean UI -Very helpful team

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Nothing really for now. I initially struggled a little with setting up permissions, but the GraphCMS Team provided me a lot of guidance and resources to set them up correctly! Thanks

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

I want to build a project management platform for film, festivals, and organizations. There are thousands of film festivals with a lot of fields and connections (like Award, Films, Organisation, Actors, Organizers). We already saved months of work. I quote my client comment: "The week we spent on GraphCMS is equivalent to spending 10 sprints using other tools"

"Fast API and Friendly Support"
What do you like best about Hygraph?

The support from the GraphCMS team is just as fast as their website. I am amazed at how fast the API is, and how fast and friendly their support team has been!

What do you dislike about Hygraph?

Somewhat of a clunky interface, there isn't a place in plain site of which environment you're in, and the refresh of data button is hidden behind a menu where I believe it should be more readily available.

What problems is Hygraph solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our business needs a fast API for configuration for our clients. We can retrieve our clients configurations and apply them in the website easily.
