Contentstack Reviews & Product Details

Contentstack seems to be pretty straight-forward and nimble to understand in terms of building templates, and is intuitive to get around in (finding content entries, editing, publishing, scheduling, etc). It is great for managing regular eCommerce promotions and putting together storytelling pages about products using atomic content modules I designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ContentStack needs more pre-built solutions out of the box that are commonly requested business needs of content mgmt teams--a blog, a preview of content (especially an entire page) within the product without having to publish, pre-configured content modules that can be dragged and dropped in the desired order, an easy way to set custom URLs at the root level...basically if they could mimic more of the experience of a WordPress or Squarespace CMS, it'd get content teams onboard so fast! Otherwise, you have to have a seasoned Product Mngr with a vision for all of these things who has to define it all upfront, then have a tech team spend months of time building it all. Sales team should identify common use case for content marketing nowadays and come up with pre-built examples. I worked for many years in the CMS SaaS industry and we always built a lot of pre-existing models like this to close sales deals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Content Management Systems have come a long way but Contentstack and heacless CMS have taken it one step further. With the decoupling of the authoring and presentation layers, the front-end engineers and content managers have truly become independent of each other and can get content to their users faster.

As with any CMS, content managers and developers are working in opposite directions. In order to resolve this longstanding issue with CMS, it is valuable for a platform like Contentstack to make such changes be able to propagate seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility and ease of content modelling as well as onboarding content users. The in-product chat is also super helpful as the customer support is incredibly responsive. We had our stack up and running, powering content in a couple months. The last project that was simliar took multiple quarters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used to require a full time engineer to make even small changes to our site. Using contentstack we were able to turn all our pages into flexible templates so the marketing team can now make virtually all changes on our own, freeing up engineering headcount and making us way faster and more nimble.

It's pricey and requires a lot of technical expertise to implement. Once it's done though it's quite flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
