Compare Contentstack with other popular tools in the same category.
The product is undergoing constant development and new features are generally very useful, the platform is always growing and improving and continues to provide everything we require.
Performing very large operations spanning thousands of records can be quite slow due to the requirement to throttle API requests - a bulkified API would be a useful addition to the platform.
It has been invaluable in supporting a company wide platforming - the ease of schema creation and data management has been hugely helpful during the project.
The flexibility of customization makes integration seamless
UI can be improved a bit for navigating the stacks but thats a "reaching" feedback
Creating a seamless process in making site updates without having to update the codebase, as well as scheduling of updates.
Contentstack has allowed us to be increasingly flexible and creative in our development efforts while at the same time significantly reducing the number of tickets in our backlog by enabling our stakeholders to manage their content. The audit logs and detailed user management allow us to monitor when changes are made as well as which user made the changes (awesome!). The team at Contentstack is also fantastic. They are quick to help us resolve any issues we run into and are very attentive to our business needs.
There is nothing about Contentstack that I do not like.
We have significantly reduced our backlog by giving stakeholders the ability to own their content on our web properties.
The well designed platform is adapted to any user, it provides with a way to manage my own content without using private web sites. In addition to this, I received with pleasure the easy way of integration with digital app, android and others mobile devices.
I think that this platform fulfill with all the requirements but unfortunately the high level of cost make it difficult to access to all users.
I have reached many clients with the creations of new content, it has served as one way connections with my business contacts.
Ease of use. The ability to quickly produce blog new content, publish and preview.
Contentstack was able to address all my needs for my website.
I was using wordpress before and it was difficult to update my site because I had to code and I'm not a programmer.
I really enjoy Contentstack because of its ease of use and ability to be super flexible. It integrates easily with my Salesforce, and allows me to collect the big data I need to know what is going on on my website.
I've found nothing I dislike about Contentstack. The easy to understand dashboard, and ease of inputting new content make updating any of the pages easy.
My sites hosta a global directory of anti violence organizations. With the help of Contentstack I am able to track which records are looked at, for how long, if there is a specific region getting more attention than others, and the ability to make new resources available on the website by only working in my Salesforce instance.
Content stack has saved my company a lot of time and money by making it easy to deploy and manage user-facing content across my organization. My Developers love it because it was easy to deploy and fast; my marketing team loves it because they can go in and update content on their own. I had my developers build a custom-landing-page template builder on top of content stack so that the marketing team can drag and drop modules, and then Content Stack populates the modules with data. Super slick. We use content stack to run the bulk of the website, to build landing pages, and to run our blog. It's been a great tool for us and everyone in the organization loves it.
I think that there's still some room for the User Interface to be as intuitive as the consumer (b2c) products in the space.
Content stack has given us the usability of off-domain consumer-grade products while allowing us the SEO benefits of having content on our domain. That's been the biggest win.
Making updates is fast and easy! I like how easy it is to preview on staging and then pushing to the live site.
That not everyone uses this awesome CMS.
We were using a platform not meant to be a CMS (WordPress) and it didn't have a true staging site, so updates had to be done twice; this introduces errors in real time!!! Also, making the update required you to also commit to the repo. Not efficient. A simple web update that should take a few seconds, would take at least 30 minutes. We realized that contentstack.io made all our employees happy and not afraid to make web updates. Anyone could do it and some didn't even have to look at the documentation because it was intuitive.
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.
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.
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.
Once technical part is done, it's very easy-to-use and very intuitive system. It's also is capable of producing the most advanced sites with a lot of custom requirements.
If you’re unable to commit development resources or can’t hire someone who knows how to integrate it, it may not be the best choice.
We needed complex, advanced site with a lot of custom requirements and this CMS was able to handle them all. I would definitely recommend it for the sites that require complex data organization and a lot of custom requirements.
