PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

I only tried using Ghost, but I’ve found that this CMS is great. It has some cool features such as a neat UI, efficient markdown support, and quick setting up. You can sign-up and prep up your account in a few minutes, then go blogging right away! Ghost also has great improvements that are truly noticeable with its third version.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Yes, this platform has cool features such as a great selection of fantastic templates. However, I am not satisfied with Ghost according to its upfront features. That is because I love tinkering with tools when using them. Now, I feel that Ghost somehow limits my creativity because there are features that I’m not used to, such as the JS and handlebars among others. It is also too simplistic, therefore it has somewhat limited flexibility. In WordPress, for example, you can instantly edit authors and classifications among other details through the back-end panel. In Ghost, however, you need to open each post to make edits. Moreover, you cannot edit the navigation bar and integrate a dropdown menu, nor you can’t tweak the handlebar to edit the footer and get rid of the branding. Another flexibility problem is the incapacity of Ghost to store multimedia files you’ve already used. Regardless, Ghost is still better than many other CMS today. This makes Ghost a wise selection despite the issues it has.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Ghost is a super time-saver. First, I’m able to migrate my blogs from WordPress to Ghost without much hassles, and I have quickly fitted my contents according to Ghost infrastructure. Second, everything is so easy to use; meaning, I often finish some tasks in a snap. And lastly, Ghost has a stellar loading time that is very superior to other options; that is regardless of me using desktop or mobile.
