For years, I have prepared template for my customers and we were doing back and forth until a final version. Every time, no matter how much work I have put in my files, it was a total nightmare from the beginning to the end, because projects evolved, content changed, there's alway many person involved and different approval levels. I have been looking to improve the process and I was so glad to finally find a tool dedicated to this need. Gather Content allow to create templates, assign responsibilities, set due dates, manage status, track history, comments and more\! It's easier for my clients to managed, edited, review and approved their content and for my team to be sure they really got the final version to integrate into website > > **Cons**: Gather Content could sometimes be glitchy and/or slow. I think it's when there's a lot of content in a same page. > > Improve our content management process and communication flow for content ----- ### "Transformed my editorial process" — 4.0/5 > **Jessie** | *7 June 2017* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used GatherContent to get out of Google Docs and into a more sophisticated and consolidated platform for my editorial content. Some huge pros were: - Automated email notifications to writers when I changed the status on a page - HTML and plain text versions of everything - The way everything was organized - Flexible tagging / customized organization - Ability to create "forms" for content submissions (so, for example, I could encourage writers to fill out sections for standardized content, like a guide, rather than free-form compositions) - Overviews and content progress > > **Cons**: Sometimes it could be a bit glitchy. I know they're still working on it and the pros far outweighed the cons, but there were times where I'd click on one spot and start typing and the text would appear somewhere else... also if I'd put custom HTML into the HTML side (e.g. a class), it wouldn't save it. > > \- More automated editorial process (saved time) - Less time spent communication with writers on the status of their articles, where to find their assignments, and other logistical questions - Better historical record of submissions - No more loosing submissions in the "blackhole of Google Drive" ----- ### "Extremely disappointed in customer service and billing policy" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 June 2018* | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It served its purpose. > > **Cons**: The software was fine, but the auto-renewal billing policy locked us in to another year's subscription when we did not want it, and the company showed ZERO flexibility in regard to letting us cancel. I will not use this product again. > > It helped us organize web content. ----- ### "Goodbye Microsoft Word, Endless Emails, and Disorganized Content Teams\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 December 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Finally, something for writers, designers, and developers to track and edit content production. It also helps content migration immensely for large website redesign projects. For someone that is user centered and content first, this tool (and the free training provided) will help make your case clear. > > **Cons**: Sometimes setting up workflow is not always straightforward, but that is more of a learning curve for teams and requires someone with more high-level project insight to create and help update. > > GatherContent really helps accelerate and organize the content production process. It reduces the time needed to get the job done, and reduces the amount of errors made. ----- ### "Q: Can't We Just Use MS Word? A: NO\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 July 2019* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gather Content provided excellent customer service and onboarding with the team using it here. I saw its value straightaway. We're working on a substantial website redesign, and without someone in house whose sole purpose it is to manage the editorial process needed to bring over old content and repurpose it for the new site, there was no way that trying to handle the content creation across four teams and a dozen or so people would be healthy in a word processing program. Connecting our current-site content to Gather Content and then exporting it and working in Gather Content rather than WP has been a godsend. > > **Cons**: I've not run up against any showstoppers for Gather Content. A few times I've logged in, I'm a bit unwowed by the simplicity of the dashboard and home screen. But too many bells and whistles are distracting, so I'm torn. I also wish the content map was a bit more robust and would allow me to order the subtopics in any one area. > > The software's been fantastic thus far. Getting a team of noneditors to work on Gather Content has been rather painless and the customizability for templates for various web page content we'll be working with is awesome. Keep up the great service and great UX. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/325179/gathercontent?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/325179/gathercontent) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
