"Contentstack is so intuitive, even a marketing manager can use it!"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Contentstack is a (nearly) WYSIWYG CMS system that is so straightforward, users can ramp up within a day of training. I especially appreciate that we can specify limited access by business unit so that our stakeholders can make small changes themselves, thus feeling empowered and engaged but without breaking the entire website. The flow and the system messaging are really clear--again, even easily interpreted by a non-tech person. I have worked on CMSes where you needed a CS degree just to understand the error messages.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Not much, really--it works well. The only flaw might be that it's almost too easy to use, so folks who have worked on other CMSes can introduce errors by overcoding. But that's easily seen and fixed in the staging environment.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build a medium-sized marketing website that has been localized to four additional regions. We're able to make quick changes across languages and locales with minimum effort.

"Very Scalable tool to host content, especially for international businesses"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

- It is user friendly ( e.g intuitive to create, duplicate and publish content) - It is possible to integrate with GetYourGuide other tools for Localisation for scaling - Our engineers has found a way for bulk upload to save time to upload content at scale to enable content migration and turn content stack a place to host all of our content - Can easily roll back to previous versions to fix some issues due to unintentional changes

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

- Sometimes we still miss some fields to Localization and I think it is better if Content if can flag missing fields in integration with other tools - Lack of a learning/ training hub that we can refer new joiners to so that they can learn Content Stack themselves

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hosting all of our content in 1 place and integrate with our product and different tools or system to ensure a smooth working collaboration in the content production process ( copy --> localization --> CRM --> Website)

"Quick and easy to learn! Quick and easy to use!"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

For us, Contentstack has changed how quickly we can execute our workload. It takes half the time it used to and we can push our changes and see them right away. We love the versioning and being able to go back and compare changes or see what was on the page a year ago. We love how they continuely update the tool and come out with new advancements.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

So far for us the only dislike would be previewing changes for a certain date. We have found workarounds for that but it isn't as simple as all the other features.

A few characteristics of the substance looking in Contentstack could be gotten to the next level. The UI is helpful, yet it very well may be upgraded. It would be wiser to consider the non-specialized clients more when contrasted with specialized clients while updating the device.

"Team members responsive and helpful!"

Some complexities come with a headless CMS that seem to make you more reliant on the developers for changes, but that's offset by many of the other flexibilities.

"I would definitely recommend the concept a headless CMS to a friend or colleague."
What do you like best about Contentstack?

The ability to access huge amounts of data that would have otherwise been difficult to access.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

There are still areas of the site that are still being developed, and improvements are constantly being made. Although this is a good thing, it can be a frustrating experience developing schema for a new and better feature to appear e.g. Modular blocks.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Definitely being able to set the foundations required for an A/B testing culture going forwards with the business. The benefits are vast, with the future-proofing of data being the main benefit. It will allow relatively easy expansion in the future.

"Extremely smooth and flexible headless CMS."
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Contentstack allows you to create different types of webpages. It let you add reusable content blocks like headers and menus. This comes in handy when you need to manage elements of an app for various devices. It also has easy-to-follow documentation and example code for various project types.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Contentstack has no support for document indexing and does not have any website management either. The drop zones sometimes making it difficult to smoothly drag-and-drop the objects. Its user interface is also not very intuitive either.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Contentstack provides complete control over webbooks, users, roles and assets. It works seamlessly on multiple platforms. It has support for multiple programming languages as well. Its most amazing features include content composition, batch publishing, and scheduled publishing.

"A CMS that allows us to have the flexibility we need"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

First and foremost we like that Contentstack is a pure SaaS headless CMS. They have taken great care to develop virtually every feature a headless CMS could need, while avoiding the siren call of developing features that would steer their product away from microservices and towards a monolith. Contentstack also has more features than the others we considered in our RFP, including Contentful, Kentico Cloud, Zesty.io, Prismic.io, ButterCMS, and Amplience. Critical features we found only in Contentstack included features for content composition (called modular blocks and groups in Contentstack), batch publishing (called Releases in Contentstack), and scheduled publishing.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

The fit and finish of the Authoring UI is a little worse than some of the competition, with some elements taking up more or less space than they should, and drop zones sometimes making it difficult to smoothly drag-and-drop. These don't seriously impede the authoring process, but do make the product feel slightly less refined that other SaaS headless CMS's.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think that Contentstack has more features than their competitors. They develop new features more quickly, and their sales and customer success teams really understand the needs of enterprise customers. I would say that Contentstack is the best Headless CMS available today and it has helped us get our projects up quickly.

"Contentstack has made my job so much easier"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I love how easy Contentstack makes it to control and change content. Many of my team members have been able to figure out how to use the platform on their own with little to no training. I love the simplicity and flexibility of the platform. It makes it not only easy to use, but versatile enough to match the needs of our website.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

As I use the platform, I think there is room for more features and additional user experience improvements. However, the support team is extremely open and eager to hearing these suggestions, and new features are constantly being rolled out.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we decided to do an overhaul of our entire website, we were looking for a CMS that would keep things simple and user-friendly for storing our content while allowing us to have freedom when it came to the actual development of the website.
