"The platform is very good for non complex sites, great for spinning up rapid admin areas."
What do you like best about Sanity?

Quickly building document schemas without needing to dive into complex UI for Sanity Studio allows me to focus on doing the headless implementations.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

The concept of Scheduling API and Document events is great however falls short when they are fired before the Sanity CDN is rebuilt. Maybe the CDN could be on demand when not warmed to resolve the issue. Additionally, the WYSIWYG editor could perhaps be changed to a different 3rd party library that would allow the ability to construct tables maybe. Additionally from a development standpoint, being required to connect to the Sanity Content Lake for performing local development is a frustration as the development data sets count towards the quota of the overall plan.

"Edge-cutting technology for websites"
What do you like best about Sanity?

The most I like it is a tool for engineers that can allow not-tech person work with it. I like it is not hosted on my end and I can care about content on my website.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

I would like to see a dedicated person for standard frontend technology (gatsby in my example) that can maintain it daily - I don't mean tech side, but at least providing answers, planning everything with the tech team and showing it to the community. The last gatsby 5 update is a great example - https://github.com/sanity-io/gatsby-source-sanity/issues/192; we would like to know what the steps are for sanity support after that.

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

Similar to my 'what I like' answer - I can focus on the website's content than the whole backend, which doesn't get me to move forward. Also, the free plan is beneficial to a good start.

"I like it, but its a bit cumbersome without real TS-support in frontend"
What do you like best about Sanity?

The easy setup, and how the structure of pages are setup for you

What do you dislike about Sanity?

That the Studio does not have TS support for all features like the client for running GROQ, we had to hack our way around this

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

Sanity is solving the problem of gathering all content in one place, where it is easily accessable

"A lot can be improved for the preview"
What do you like best about Sanity?

Simple and Content First solution, focused on a clear path

What do you dislike about Sanity?

Watch mode is not great; especially with the preview, I believe it should have an advanced interface exposing extra-fine tunning for some cases

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

How to manage huge content with a simple UI

"Best Headless CMS I’ve Found"
What do you like best about Sanity?

The infrastructure as code model for building out your content models is extremely helpful. Less click, more coding, and ship faster. We are using Sanity more and more as we learn more about it.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

GraphQL as a second class citizen. I would like to see better support, for example bidirectional queries for many-one/one-many. Currently you need to use GROQ to support many-one queries when you define one-many in your schema.

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

Building full-fledged CMSs to build out multiple sites across our company for a one-stop experience for our content editors. Thinking about our sites at scale has helped us to build better models overall.

unable to load up multiple images to the media folder and organize images into subfolders

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

I wasn't using it to solve problems - mostly as a CMS solution

"It's pretty good not that hard to understand, sometimes glitchy though"
What do you like best about Sanity?

It's not difficult to understand, pretty intuitive, helps me get my job done

What do you dislike about Sanity?

Sometimes its glitchy when I try to publish things, and when I have it open for too long and try to go back to it in my tab it takes a long time to reload

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

I just use it to publish things to my company's website, so I dont really have any problems to solve

"Versatile CMS"
What do you like best about Sanity?

Everything is possible. Sometimes I think I've reached its limits, but then it turns out that there is a way to solve/implement things.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

The docs can be overwhelming at first sight.

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

I use it as a backend for a take-away ordering app. Generous free tier makes this possible.

"Extremely Versatile and Intuitive"
What do you like best about Sanity?

I found Sanity very intuitive to get started in, and extremely versatile. One can create a perfectly tailored backend for almost anything! Of course, Sanity happens to work especially well for popular JAMstack frameworks like NextJS and Gatsby. One thing that really stands out for Sanity vs other solutions has been a commitment to the developer's experience while still providing a wonderful contributor experience as well. Another thing that has set Sanity apart for me has been the outstanding community that is always supportive and helpful for developers of all skill levels.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

Customizing the studio UI has been less intuitive for me than creating the schema, etc.... however, they have been making tremendous strides on that side of things lately, so this is becoming less and less of a downside!

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

Providing a singular source for content on website, newsletter, social, etc.... It's definitely made me more productive relative to building websites, but also makes it easier to scale and adapt as the design and use-cases change.

"Cool Solution to a Common Problem"
What do you like best about Sanity?

Sanity has excellent documentation and a great API, especially if you love GraphQL.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

Learning GROQ seems like a unessecary because I haven't run into a reason why GraphQL hasn't worked.

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

We finally replaced WordPress to give Marketing complete content control.

"Mostly smooth, prone to annoying bugs"
What do you like best about Sanity?

It is pretty easy to create objects and then be able to refer back to them later when posting documents. I also like the picture search so it's easy to find previous pics.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

There are often a lot of bugs with sanity - sometimes it just tells me the referenced object doesn't exist and I have to log out of the whole thing. A lot of times the body input will suddenly glitch and say I put invalid marks and again, I have to reload the whole thing.

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

Sanity does help us to have a website that we can post content on fairly easily that looks good and well organized with a pretty simple process. The layout does give it a professional look too.

"Non Super User"
What do you like best about Sanity?

Easily can access the information that I'm looking for with clear directions.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

Is not 100% entirely intuitive - i'm not a power user of the tool, so sometimes it's not very easy to navigate.

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

Content Management. Access to required information.

"Many caveats, few upsides"
What do you like best about Sanity?

The ability to modify the Studio to exactly match our needs is nice.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

I dislike the lack of different environments - we have those implemented as different datasets, but that means that we can on accident change data in the wrong dataset because we are connected to the only environment that exists. I dislike the low functionality implemented in GROQ. I dislike the Studio styling and how basic the interface is out of the box - to get something truly useful you need to invest a lot of development time, so I wonder whether writing our own UI makes economic sense? I dislike the caching for both the Studio and the data, which means verifying changes takes way too much time, and fixing any issues takes even longer.

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

We are using Sanity as the primary datastore for content.

"More bugs than the Amazon"
What do you like best about Sanity?

not much at all. there are so many bugs.

What do you dislike about Sanity?

It's a struggle to get it to function properly. Even simple features like sorting don't work.

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

It serves as our frontend CMS
