Sanity Reviews & Product Details

There are so many features of Sanity I like it's hard to summarize it, but here goes. The overall developer experince is great, it's a very "developer centric" service. They offer a place to spin up a quick example site. Sanity's Studio (CMS) is extendable, so you can tweak it to meet your needs. There's also a nice number of plugins created by community members you can use. Sanity has a generous free tier. They have a slack channel where they offer support and it also has a large active community of very talented delopers and members that are willing to help. They offer a place to promote their community members and contributions and projects. I also enjoy how they host open houses and meetups where they debut new features and highlight community member's work and expereinces with Sanity. It's also been exciting to see how much the company has grown over the years with funding, new team members and expanding offices into the States. I highly recommend checking out Sanity!

I was not too fond that Sanity had a limit of three user accounts before they started charging you monthly for additional ones. However, they just changed this to all of their free accounts include *unlimited user accounts!

I needed a CMS for my decoupled websites and applications. I have used several over CMSs, and they always seem to fall short where Sanity excels.

The content structure has been both developer and client friendly. The experience for development has been great

Requires more maintenance than other platforms

Currently building out Headless store on with the Shopify platform and everything seamlessly works together. Some of the webhooks could use improvement but overall really happy

There's so much to love about Sanity… the documentation is excellent, the community (particularly on Slack is amazing, but Sanity Studio, its flexibility and customisation is the icing on the cake.

Hard to find anything to write here – I really find the development workflow a breeze and the pricing scales well from small projects to larger ones without the big jumps in some other platforms.

Moving to a cloud-based CMS frees up a lot of time – I don't have a server to manage or databases to backup and the content lake dealing with media means to S3 buckets to worry about. My clients find the editing experience in Sanity Studio far superior to more traditional CMSs like Wordpress.

For myself, the infinite flexibility of defining my data model and instantly deploying updates through my command line makes it incredibly easy to spin up new databases instantly. I don't have to worry about SQL migrations, or adding new Mongo models, or deploying an update to my monolith or server less function - or having to create new forms. It's all done for me.

When I'm creating a new item in the studio, when I click the plus button - I have like 40 schemas. I would like to be able to search for the schema that I want the item to be created in. I made a small hack - I organized the schemas in the desk builder alphabetically, they were completely random before that.

When prototyping a new feature, I want to be able to define the data - add some initial dummy data potentially, and then let users add in new data to fill their own use case. Sanity let's me do all of that without implementing any major front-end code.

The user experience and documentation helped a lot to grow my skills as a developer, also the support team of sanity is very friendly and responsive, Probably worth trying it !! Thank you.

There are no cons I have about sanity every service they have to offer is great and well documented. As a suggestion, I would like to have more features for sanity in future. Thank you.

Sanity has helped me to establish most of my career as fast easy service to developer minimal viable product's features by decreasing the complexity & hassle of creating services from scratch.

When we decided to go with Sanity we believed it will come with lots of out of the box features, drag and drop content model building etc etc, but it didn't we started with a blank UI. When got used to it, and understood how to build with Sanity, we now appreciate the flexibility we have to make content models exactly the way we want.

If you are new to the space like us, it is almost impossible to forecast how long it will take to build a new content model with Sanity, especially when the content model is new, compared to other content models already built.

We are giving our content editors full control of putting together new web pages, based on our design guidelines, without involving tech. It will be easy to design new web pages and add them to Sanity to be edited.

The best thing about Sanity is the developer focus and the “hackability” of the platform thanks to custom data models and portable text. Being able to customise the rich text elements is fantastic. I feel in control.

I would love it if the creation of custom rich text elements were made more straightforward, for example adding a visual builder.

I am mainly building standard websites with normal functionality like blog posts, team pages, landing pages etc. I am able to streamline the development process while giving the content authors a user-friendly “CMS”. Gone are the days of struggling with the intricacies of older, all-in-one authoring platforms.

I like that Sanity is highly customizable, enables me to see when others are on the platform with me and their activity log, and allows integration with other tools necessary for my work.

There was a certain challenge with lag times, although they rarely occurred. But they impact how the fluidity of operations and we had to figure out ways to accommodate for it.

We used Sanity as a CRM backend for our product - Messari Governor. Sanity made it possible to quickly duplicate and edit content, thereby saving process times in delivery. Messari Governor is a crypto governance aggregator.

It is not messy like other backend technologies, very user friendly for beginners. Its interface helps to upload and delete the data easily. Sanity helps us to keep track of data and can interact with it tension free.

There is nothing to dislike about this awesome technology but when I tried to order the data in sanity it pretty much acted weird and it was difficult. Fixing this bug will make Sanity even more awesome.

I was creating a portfolio website consisting of my projects and skills, for this, I was required to upload many text and pictures in the backend, as well as I also wanted to update frequently my skills as I learn new skills. Sanity helped me to update my new skills or projects without changing my code and it can be done within a few seconds.

Sanity gives you complete control over the structure of your content, so there's no wrestling with existing structures. The docs are very good and make it very easy to get up and running quickly. GROQ is great, collaborative editing is useful for teams and the image pipeline (love the ability to specify a hot-spot on an image) makes it very easy to handle media-rich sites.

No dislikes as such. Only negative I can think of is that migrating data from other CMSs is not hugely straightforward. Would be great to have a slightly easier process.

Sanity gives us a great developer experience and lets us provide clients with a simple editing interface that has only what they need, with no extraneous information that may get in their way.
