"Streamlined Experience with Powerful CMS"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I'm a huge fan of Contentstack. I really appreciate its headless architecture and modular approach, which allows us to integrate existing products seamlessly. It enables us to have omnichannel marketing that we've never had before. I find the interface easy to work with, and the headless CMS is great. I love the simple core of Contentstack as a content database with great publishing capabilities. It allows non-engineers to publish content and marketers to keep the site up to date. Contentstack does this core function very well, and everything else is extra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

There needs to be more work with AI, but I actually think that it works pretty well for an AI workflow as is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible CMS with Room for Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I love Contentstack's flexibility and the unlimited optionality when setting up your experience to suit your needs. Managing several hundred sites that are similar but with different branding is a task Contentstack handles well. Its ability to upload content that needs to be seen across those sites is something that most CMS platforms struggle with, but Contentstack is designed to do whatever we need it to do, allowing us to problem-solve while developing our experience within it to minimize problems and maximize efficiency. The easier integration with Shopify and other systems we're moving to is also a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

The limitations in the folder system (I think right now you can only have 5 levels of folders or maybe only 3) when organizing components or 'entries' or images. Because we are so large, the ability to have a better/deeper organization system would be helpful. There are also many dashboards and previews that we are unable to see currently, but that also might be a limitation on us more so than Contentstack. It was a bit complicated. We relied on an integration agency to do most of it for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beginner-Friendly UI with Powerful Taxonomy Tagging"
5/5
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I use Contentstack for our internal support articles and SOPs, and it helps us organise the information in one place. What I like most is the writing UI, the text formatting options, and the taxonomy tagging. It helps us write the articles quickly and efficiently and format them correctly as we want. We switched from Brightspot, and the UI, performance, and taxonomy tagging are much better on Contentstack. The setup was very easy to learn and teach, and the UI is designed very well for beginners.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

{"I find the image placement between texts sometimes causes problems.","I find the text formatting for pointers and other stuff gets displaced when I place images between text."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Document Management with Effortless Updates"
5/5
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I like Contentstack because it provides a central repository and directory for the documents needed for our team. It's easy to update the documents and compare the versions, which is helpful for auditing what changes were made to a particular document. These features, especially version comparison and auditing, are valuable when sharing updates to ensure everyone is informed and on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth, Collaborative Onboarding with Responsive Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Onboarding with Contentstack has been super smooth and collaborative. Any feedback or emails we share are well received and acknowledged by both the customer support team and the customer success manager, which strengthens our trust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

The UI changes aren’t always appealing, but there has been a lot of improvement in this area over the last two years. That said, running into limitations around locale count setup and the number of fields allowed in a content type is a bit concerning. Publishing heavy pages with multiple references sometimes slows the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible API-First, Headless Architecture for Any Channel"
5/5
What do you like best about Contentstack?

The API-first, headless architecture makes it easy to deliver content to any channel — web, app, or automation pipeline — without being tied to a specific frontend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Sometimes the Live Preview feature has inconsistent behavior — it occasionally fails to reflect content changes in real time, which interrupts the review workflow and requires manual refreshes or republishing to verify the output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Contentstack for content writing practices, especially for writing company policies and creating user-friendly and customer support-friendly articles. It has definitely made my work easier by providing a structured format. I also appreciate that it saves information well, so I don't have to write everything from scratch and can refer to previously created sections easily. Contentstack has a very user-friendly interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Technical glitches. Recently, I've noticed that it takes a lot of time to publish a particular article. It rolls back to the way it was and the changes are left behind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
