"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for Localist
Our previous website calendar system consisted of our staff manually entering events when the public would email them to us. Even with copy/pasting each field, it would take up some time to process a lot of requests. Now, we can approve or deny events with the click of a button and the public takes the time to format the events themselves. This also allows for required fields so we don't receive events with missing information.

Most popular feedback for Kontent.ai
Kontent.ai works with so many different tech stacks from .NET, React, Angular, PHP, Android, etc. The Developer documentation is robust and getting started with the solution is very easy. My experience with the AE working with our company was phenomenal as he was incredibly responsive in helping get all our questions resolved. Additionally, the ability to utilize the developer mode for free during evaluation allowed us to create a solid POC before moving forward.

Localist reviews
We looked at many different event software solutions before deciding on Localist. It's a great product, and the customer service is unparalleled.
- Nicky E. Associate Director of Digital Media
I'm very familiar with Localist after having used it for a few years so I'm reluctant to change to a different email merge system but I do find it to be user-friendly and easy to introduce people to.
- Raymond R. Web Designer
In our particular application, there just isn't very much traffic. The idea of a dedicated event calendar can feel like too much when everyone already uses their own CRM or email lists to communicate about events. More flexible integrations would be a nice feature, like if Localist could pull in events automatically from third-party CRMs. Customizeable reminder messages and follow-up messaging would also add value.

Kontent.ai reviews
It is easy to use the tools in Kontent, the changes are showing up even faster, and is easy to explain to other people about how to use it since it is usable and user friendly
- Maria Paula S. Cohen Information Booth Assistant
It's super simple to model content as a semi technical business user. I love that I can get things started by building new models based on the marketing or business goals but also have my hands on how it works to ensure it will be easy to maintain. Having a tool likes this helps bridge gaps beetween business and IT.
- Michael D. Principal Business Analyst
Great Design, well-thought-through content types elements. web spotlight is great. SDK support is good enough, type support for typescript is helpfull.

Pros & cons
Localist
| Pros |
|---|
| The solution is very flexible to our needs and the branding capabilities are impressive |
| The ease of use and empowerment of users to submit events |
| Localist is very easy to setup and administer and is a very powerful calendar platform to help manage and promote our many events on campus |
| Administrators love the ease of setup, reporting and the configuration flexibility." |
| Cons |
|---|
| The webinar on Channels was so confusing that it took me months to figure out what they were talking about |
| Again, lots of learn-by-doing |
| We also found an issue with users being able to create their own avatar, in some cases the avatar could be offensive and there is no way to easily "report" that to the calendar admins |
| Support has been generally terrible |
| Anything outside of the basic functionality is simply not supported and they have been unwilling to implement ANY requests that we've made |
| On several occasions the answers provided by support have been blatantly wrong and only through our own channels have we been able to fix problems that the vendor created." |
Kontent.ai
| Pros |
|---|
| Best support I have ever had, super competitive team, instant replies |
| Feedback is very welcomed |
| Good customisation is now possible of the CMS editor |
| Competitive pricing model with the other contenders in the marketplace |
| Usually pain-free and successful |
| Helps me achieve my objectives with minimal fuss |
| Kontent is an awesome Headless CMS and great for content editors and developers." |
| Cons |
|---|
| In really complex scenarios admin UI is starting to be a little confusing |
| Admin UI is available only in the English language, which is sometimes a problem for our Czech clients |
| Everything that was strange to me before, they fixed or changed very quickly, so nothing at the moment |
| Reliance on dev for the smallest of changes takes functionality out of CMS |
| To get basic functionality you must pay a lot of money for Web Spotlight and it's still quite limited |
| The price tag is quite high and there is no "cheap" option - so this obviously targets mid to high "tier" companies |
| No cheaper option for small companies or private users." |
