Sanity Reviews & Product Details

The Studio is genuinely a pleasure to use, even for non-technical staff. Everything is editable in the way you’d expect from a WordPress-era CMS, but without the baggage. What really won me over is the webhook integration: I’ve got it wired up to Vercel so content changes trigger revalidation instantly. No manual deploys and no cache headaches.

I also run separate dev and production datasets, which keeps my development workflow clean and lets me test schema changes without touching live content. The Vercel integration, in particular, has matured a lot and now feels completely native. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve at the beginning was steeper than I expected - not because Sanity is poorly designed, but because the documentation for more advanced use cases was pretty thin when I first got started. I ended up spending a fair amount of time piecing things together from community posts and examples. That said, the situation has improved noticeably since then: AI-ready resources, more complete skills documentation, and tighter Vercel integration have all arrived, and I think onboarding a project today would be meaningfully faster.

So, I have been using Sanity and is a nice Headless CMS, which allows me use the same text content both for my website as well as for my android app. The dashboard is flexible and thus can be customized as per the need. The best part is me along my team can work on a single project at the same time which makes the workflow smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, I don't think Sanity is suitable for everyone. When I compare Sanity to Wordpress, since both platforms share some similarities, I find that Sanity is less user-friendly. You really need to be a developer with coding experience to set it up properly. Unlike Wordpress, there are no ready-made themes available for website design, so I had to create the design myself, which ended up taking more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of implementation, customer support and a big community. TypeScript is a big plus also!

What do you dislike about Sanity?

Some very basic features are not provided out of the box and the limitation of not being able to host it somewhere else could be an improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the search functionality where the images are stored is not great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Sanity Studio is customizable, the real-time collaboration feels like Google Docs for content, and the GROQ query language makes pulling content easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be a bit steep at first, especially for non-developers. Setting up schemas and mastering GROQ queries takes time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the real-time collaboration and Sanity Studio. They save me a lot; with real-time collaboration, I don't have to wait for others to finish, we can work together without overwriting data. The initial setup was quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be a bit steep at the beginning, especially for beginners who aren't familiar with schemas or APIs. It took me some time to fully understand how to set up the initial configuration, but it's worth the effort once you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Sanity because it lets me create, manage, and deliver structured content efficiently. I appreciate how it allows me to treat content as a product rather than just a document, which makes reuse intentional instead of accidental. The initial setup was very easy, and this smooth experience makes working with Sanity enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sanity feels like overkill for simple use cases and low change content, which should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Sanity is the complete control it gives developers. The ability to define content schemas as code and build a fully customized editing experience with React is a game-changer. The developer experience is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve can be steep, especially for developers new to the headless CMS space. You need a good grasp of JavaScript and React to get the most out of the Studio customization, which can be a barrier for some teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that Sanity is built with React and sits nicely alongside our Next.js app. It’s fast, developer-friendly, and incredibly customizable. The Studio gives you full control over how you manage and structure content, which is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That said, the flexibility can be a double-edged sword. Starting from a blank slate means there’s a fair amount of initial setup before your Studio is fully functional. They do offer starter templates, which help, but it would be nice to have a more opinionated base with core features out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
