I've been using Contentstack for a while now, and overall, it's been a really positive experience. One of the things I appreciate most is how user-friendly the interface is—it doesn’t take long to get comfortable navigating around and managing content. It’s intuitive enough that even team members who aren’t super technical can jump in and contribute without much of a learning curve.

Another big plus is the range of add-on apps available. For example, the tools for managing translations have been incredibly helpful for our multilingual content. It’s great to have those capabilities built right into the platform rather than relying on external tools or workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bulk actions feature is a time-saver when working with large sets of entries or assets, but I do think there’s potential to take it even further. If bulk actions could be expanded to handle more complex tasks or offer more customization, it would make the platform even more powerful and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Contentstack feels like a win for anyone who wants a straightforward, user-friendly CMS. The interface is very intuitive so pushing content to my sites was a breeze thanks to its headless setup. As a tool I rely on daily, the integration into regular workflows is always smooth. Contentstack handles repetitive tasks with consistency and speed.

One feature I really appreciate is the user group management. I could assign different access levels—like “Content Manager” or “Developer”—right from the dashboard, no fuss. The ability to create custom roles also means I can fine-tune who sees what, down to specific entries or fields, which keeps things organized and secure.

It’s been a time-saver for me and my team to manage our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve can be more demanding than anticipated. The basics are simple, but configuring content models requires more adjustments and demanding a learning curve.

The API rate limits are sometimes a headache to the team. During high-demand scenarios, hitting the rate cap poses the occasional technical hurdles that disrupts the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a product manager, I like the flexibility that Content stack provides us to develop and implement components with and the ease of use for business to update content on the platform.

It has also been easy to integrate with other downstream systems and provided flexibility not just for our website but for other platforms in our organisation.

Additionally, the customer support has been very good whenever we have had any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve for Content Stack sometimes can be quite high depending on how you build it. I also think that some documentation could be more in depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Contentstack is how easy it is to work with when building and managing dynamic content. Working in a home building industry I have I’ve used it to power things like interactive floor plan pages, home detail descriptions, and even automate syncing with platforms like Cloudinary. It’s flexible enough to support both developers and content editors, and I like how the structure makes it easy to plug into APIs and handle things like fallback logic, localization, and versioned environments without much hassle.

What I dislike about Contentstack is the lack of clear documentation for more advanced use cases and custom integrations. It sometimes takes trial and error to figure out how to get things working the right way, especially when syncing with external platforms like Cloudinary. I also wish there was better support for having a dedicated development branch or preview environment, since right now everything has to be managed manually across environments.

It was easy to get a hang of Contentstack. Its UI is easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When publishing an article or changing something within a published article, it takes multiple minutes for the article to uploaded or for the changes to come through. This is way too long in the journalistic business. Also, sending a push notification takes way too long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
