I use Contentstack as a CMS for our website and especially appreciate the good support. When we had an issue with easily copying content including translations, Contentstack added a feature within a few months that makes this possible. We also received help to work together on a workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the learning curve for Contentstack high for both developers and content editors. Editors are used to WYSIWYG experiences. Contentstack doesn't really help with this because it is a headless CMS. Previews and visual builder are configurable, but they don't work seamlessly. The lack of good direct feedback in the editor means that you often have to publish and check how the content behaves on the site. The initial setup was fine, but unfortunately, Google Cloud Platform was not available in Europe at the time of installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Contentstack because it eases up the way we write and post articles. The thing I like most is the amount of features and utilities it provides within its interface. There are features like accordion which lets me add a zippie within an article, making the article look cleaner. The initial setup was also very easy as it was well-documented on how to get access and use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe it should have more AI assistance features to make the UX seamless and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Contentstack for my daily project activities, including managing homepage and category pages, which makes my tasks significantly more manageable. The platform excels in scheduling, allowing me to plan content deployments in advance, making the process smooth and stress-free. Its scheduling feature is particularly valuable as it ensures timely and reliable publication of updates without needing constant supervision. The user-friendly interface and structured workflows of Contentstack enhance my ability to perform quick content updates and manage multiple entries efficiently, reducing the dependency on developers and minimizing the risk of errors. I appreciate how it centralizes content management, eliminating manual intervention and promoting a streamlined workflow. The version control and scheduling features contribute to maintaining content consistency and alignment with brand guidelines. Furthermore, Contentstack smoothly integrates with tools like Jira, Figma, and Google Analytics, augmenting its efficiency in managing content from creation to publication. The overall setup was intuitive and quickly understood, backed by clear documentation and responsive support. Switching from Salesforce CMS to Contentstack for its flexibility and faster management has been a positive change, substantially enhancing our agility in content management.

While Contentstack is a powerful and user-friendly platform, I feel that some areas could be improved to enhance the overall experience. For instance, the bulk editing feature needs to be more intuitive. Currently, managing a large number of entries or components necessitates opening each one individually, which can be time-consuming, especially for projects involving frequent content updates like seasonal homepage banners or campaign pages. A more robust bulk editing capability, such as the ability to modify fields and publish multiple entries at once, would save a significant amount of time and reduce manual effort. Additionally, navigating large sets of entries could be streamlined. When handling multiple content types or entries across environments, finding specific items sometimes requires several clicks. Enhancements like advanced filtering, custom views, or advanced searches with saved queries could make locating and updating content more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used many CMSs as a website editor, and Contentstack does a great job of offering flexibility without being overly complicated to learn. I use Contentstack every day for multiple websites and have had to train employees to use it. Overall, it is pretty intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More recently, I have been diving into Contentstack's Personalize tool to run A/B split tests and audience segmentation. It is great that the CMS offers these features, but since they are relatively new, they could use significant improvements in usability, metrics, and the process for ending experiments.

I appreciate Contentstack's API first architecture that integrates easily with modern applications. I like how it allows me to create and manage structured content independently from website design. It also eliminates duplicate content management across multiple digital channels. The initial setup was fast, which was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Contentstack to be an invaluable tool for my day-to-day work, primarily due to its user-friendly nature. Although it may not seem intuitive at first, it becomes quite easy to navigate over time, making it a reliable asset in managing our website's build and operations. I had some experience with other similar tools, but Contentstack stands out as the best, offering significant advantages compared to the alternatives I've tried. Moreover, the initial setup process was straightforward and intuitive, even without prior experience, enhancing my overall efficiency. It's also worth noting that despite its sophisticated capabilities, Contentstack integrates well with other software like Talon One and Yotpo, which further streamlines my workflow.

I find the notification of changes in Contentstack could be improved. A couple of weeks back, the interface changed slightly, which wasn't a huge issue, but it would be better if they could send notifications or emails discussing these changes before they happen, rather than after.

Contentstack offers a LOT of the capabilities I used to have to research, implement, test and continuously update and manage through plug-ins when my site ran on Wordpress. It's nice having everything available just from Contentstack's product line. It's much easier for my small team to manage the backend as admins and set up workflows. We brought in a new hire right after we moved to Constentack and asked him to become our subject matter expert on it. There were tons of courses and resources available directly from Contenstack to quickly get him up to speed and rock and rolling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few things that seem standard for a CMS that we have had to ask our dev team to work with Contentstack to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Contentstack because updates are fast, and it's easy to switch between locales for updates. I find it valuable that if I know the entry name, I can edit one locale and quickly move to the next. What I consider 'fast' is how quickly updates sync to the storefront compared to our old CMS.

More previews functionality while editing. It would be good to have a dynamic preview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the version control in Contentstack to be very good compared to other platforms in the market. The transition to using Contentstack was smooth because the Contentstack team was always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
