G2 Reviews
Rated 4.5/5 from 134 verified reviews.
"Kontent.ai handles our editorial governance better than any CMS we have evaluated. The configurable workflow means every piece of content goes through the right review process before publishing. The AI taxonomy suggestions save our editors hours of manual tagging per week."
Digital Content Manager · Enterprise
"We needed a CMS that could scale across 20 regional brands with strict content governance and a single structured content model. Kontent.ai was the only platform that met those requirements without us building custom workflow tooling on top of it."
Solutions Architect · Enterprise
"The Delivery API is clean and the TypeScript SDK has excellent type support. Once the content model is defined, querying and rendering is straightforward. The Preview API and Draft Mode integration with Next.js works well for our staging workflow."
Frontend Developer · Mid-Market
"Kontent.ai has become the backbone of our omnichannel content strategy. Structured content components mean we write once and publish to web, mobile, digital signage, and email without reformatting. The translation management integrations have cut our localisation time significantly."
