Ease of use, UI, ease of integration and depth of features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ContentStack is a user-friendly platform that improves my daily workflow"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

The possibility to schedule changes allows the workflow to be smoother. As a user-friendly platform, I can quickly create content that can be used in a lot of pages. I can easily find any doubt in the contenstack articles or through the customer support. It's very easy to integrate and implement new features comparing with our previous tool, for example payment methods, review system, external partners. I use it very frequently everyday and am glad to have a platform that doesn't break all the time or slow-CS has been a great improvement in my daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Contentstack doesn't allow you to select unlimited entries to add to a release, it doesn't have several type of accesses (just content editor and admin). At the moment we cannot use images from other scopes, which increases the amount of images in our assets. The search bar of ContentStack is also a bit weird-we cannot save our searches and when solving errors it's hard sometimes to know which is the issue in CS (doesn't tell you exactly which part is wrong) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Opportunities to Improve UI"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Has tons of cuztomization options

Customer support is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Clunky UI - Not the most intuitive tool for new users. you really have to know exactly what you're looking for.

Clunky UI - when on a parent page and clicking into child components, there is no breadcrumb

Clunky UI - hard to search for components if new user and unaware of all component types/titles

Reporting - cannot get holisitic view/ report of what components are on which parent pages

Reporting - cannot get holistic view of parent pages that a component is referenced in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible, customizable website development with attentive customer service"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Great for those wanting flexibility and control, Contentstack provides a user-friendly platform that allows for easy customization of your website at any time. It was easy from the get-go to navigate any edits, and I appreciate being able to create website pages with little to no background in website development! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Some features seem to be a little restricted with how many personalisations you can make, however the team at Contentstack are always happy to try to work with us to make the changes we want possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great software for managing all your content in one place"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

1. Ability to manage multiple languages seamlessly

2. Defining core content structures that can be re-used across multiple other content types

3. Support for multiple environments, groups and releases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

It sometimes gets difficult to track which versions for content entries are getting deployed at a single glance. Needs a good amount of due diligence to ensure wrong versions don't get deployed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall, the app is easy to navigate, but it could use tweaks to encourage collaboration among teams"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

ContentStack is easy to navigate. Details are organized and labeled accordingly. Our team uses the app on a daily basis to implement changes on our websites. There are also features that help facilitate these changes such as scheduling and staging, which make things easier as we no longer have to rely solely on our testing environment to see how our changes would look like. My team is also able to provide feedback and get customer support from time-to-time, especially when we encounter challenges with using the app. Overall, even if it has been less than a year since we've launched our website using ContentStack, it was easier to integrate into our daily processes than we initially expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

I hope ContentStack gives us more freedom to edit labels per categories and shift layers (e.g. nav menu items and sub-links) so that we can easily integrate terminologies that are specific to our organization. Also, I wish that the interface someday makes it easier for teams to collaborate on projects. What happens is that sometimes, scheduled events are overwritten if other team members are trying to change a different dimension in the site. Hopefully, the application becomes easier to collaborate in and that it would be strategized upon for this vision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The easiest way to build a website"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Changes are super easy to make and you can personalize your page as much as you want. The interface is super user-friendly. I use it on a daily basis with my team. They can be autonomous even if they have no programation skills, which is great added-value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

The fact when you change the name of a picture after having uploaded it, if you search for this new name, it is not taking it into account. Only the first name of an image can be used in the search field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to use and customizable CMS"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Highly customizable CMS that is easy to work with and has excellent support. Makes developing easily maintained react apps easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

There is a bit of a learning curve, and the new UI lacks contrast which can make working in the back end difficult at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Composable CMS"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

The CMS feature set and ease of use are best of breed. There really isn't anyone doing it better. Modular blocks and content modeling are extremely intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

The inline preview and edit tags can get quite complicated to debug. A simpler solution to WYSIWYG would make the product stand out against the competitors.

An odd one that I run into all the time is the lack of "Folders". An implementation of taxonomy in a way to create simulated folder view at a minimum would resonate so well with many customers who are coming from content systems that have them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bianca Anderson of Contentstack

Hi Jerry - thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We have taken your insights back to our product and user experience teams. Regarding the complexity of the inline preview and edit tags, we understand how crucial it is to have a smooth and straightforward experience. Our team is actively exploring ways to simplify this aspect to enhance usability. In the meantime, you might find our existing Taxonomy features helpful, and you can read more about them here: (https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/taxonomy). Your input is invaluable as we strive to enhance our product for all our customers, again thank you for your feedback
