Contentstack Reviews & Product Details

We've tightly integrated ContentStack into our .NET platform. The content dynamically combines with our system-wide pattern library enabling us to create and maintain content in real time using data cache and webhooks.

Some of the field types were arbitrarily too restrictive when we first started, but CS has resolved those issues.

Flipped technical debt issues enabling us to spend much more time on strategic projects.

Ease of use and tons of options. Everything is straight forward. API is well documented and support is superb.

I think some of the UI can be tweaked a little so things appear cleaner

Allowing content creators who knows nothing about code to come in make updates was a win for everyone. Content creators does not have to wait for a developer and developers can focus making the experience better.

As a developer, I like the ease by which we can integrate Contentstack seamlessly into our web applications. Additionally, their customer support is always top-notch, responsive, and willing to help in whatever ways possible.

There have been no downsides for our team.

By using Contentstack, we are able to quickly roll out new, fresh content, and for many product launches, we've been able to have our designers and copywriters churn out new, unique pages without our development team getting involved.

I like that ContentStack is highly flexible to your business and technology needs. The support team is also amazing and answer questions quickly while also providing architectural guidance as you embard down a path of some big time decision making.

not much right now - new features get deployed regularly so that's always something to look forward to. Plugin/Component library keeps growing.

Managing content and localization across the globe and across multiple channels.

The flexibility in the system that allows infinite customisations within components and workflows.

Nothing to date.........................

Global centralised marketing platform operated by 76 different countries. There aren't too many technologies that can handle what we are throwing at it. Maybe salesforce only.

Apart from the generally simple and easy to use UI for content editors, it has been fun to use this CMS with the frequent updates and the company's positive response to feature requests. We truly get the feeling that they are valuing their users' opinions and ideas. We've actually gone as far as to use the CMS not only for content purposes, but also begun to create configurations and controllers, in order to avoid having to deploy all the time.

One of the things that we feel could still improve, is the bulk actions. Can't really say I dislike it, but I do feel there's a lot of chance for improvements there. Adding more functions that could be addressed in bulk would greatly benefit us.

When we first implemented Contentstack, we were looking for a native headless CMS, that was robust and stable on the dev side, could be easily integrated with other systems and handle multiple languages and locales, and was simple and intuitive on the editor side. We needed roles and permissions for our users and were looking for a system that provided workflows, preferably across languages. Two years into our partnership, Contenstack has delivered on all accounts and we are extremely pleased with their product and services.

Contentstack is a central part of our new digital stack. It is going to play a huge role in transform the digital experience we offer our customers. The speed and flexibility of the product saves a huge amount of time. The support, speed of response on our queries and the willingness to listen is second to none and better than anything else I have experienced in software.

Small UX issue with the content type edit button. That is easily manageable though, and you get use to it. There are some restrictions on things like the number of fields that we could have as part of one content type of web page but again, Contentstack changed this. It would be nice if we could set and manage those limits ourselves.

Contentstack has allowed us to generate and produce content at scale. We work with thousands of suppliers around the world and Contentstack makes it easy to gather fresh content from them all. Contentstack is also helping us breakdown inefficient processes that have always caused us problems. One example is the improvement between the Product and Marketing teams in adding new product to the website. Using workflows in Contentstack we have put clear processes in place between teams that has improved visibility of the teams in regards to where the next action lies.

The Contentstack team is always innovating / adding helpful features. They are very open to feedback and feature requests.

We sometimes run into challenges when changing the data structure of content types with many entries.

Contentstack provides us with a flexible solution to manage our content. We have a variety of users who need to access and edit our content in a variety of ways including content authors, editors, developers and translators. The headless nature of Contentstack allows us to use APIs for our our automated tasks, while still providing a nice UI when needed. Since Contentstack is cloud based we don't need to worry about managing infrastructure. We can trust that our data is safe and available.

Flexible schema definition (e.g. modular blocks). Customize publication stages. Webhooks to synchronize content in Contentstack with other services (e.g. translation, search index). Customizable/extensible UI for authors.

The CDN cache-purge policy is "big hammer", not "surgical". There's a rate limit for content management API requests. There's been some confusion about the different kinds of API tokens and which functionality is supported by each.

We migrated from a legacy in-house CMS to Contentstack, which sped up our overall SOA migration, and in the process gave our content authors a much friendlier interface. The new CMS is much easier to evolve than our old one. Contentstack is starting to be used by other teams at Airbnb.

The ability to quickly build landing pages and using a template format for consistency helps with the creative team a lot as well. It also empowers more teammates to make edits to content they own.

I think there is nothing wrong with what tasks I have to accomplish on a daily basis.

We are able to free up lots of development time to work on other projects that move the business forward in a digital capacity.
