Contentstack platform review
What do you like best about the product?
The AI features and the simplicity of the translation process stand out, and I also find the translations to be quite accurate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, it takes a while for certain locales to update the content, which can be frustrating. Additionally, there are occasions when it seems like the system acts unpredictably, failing to add bullet points to the content even though they are clearly indicated in the CMS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I appreciate how simple it is to use the translation options for the copy we include in our articles. The automation of user journeys is also a great feature, as it makes it much easier to target the right audience and should help improve conversions. Additionally, there are frequent updates on the latest technology and capabilities, which keeps us well informed.
User friendly, but sometimes slow/buggy
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, advanced search functionality is good, timeline and version comparison is useful
What do you dislike about the product?
Buggy and slow at times. Publishing, unpublishing and release finctionalities are unreliable (recurrent issues with them). If an entry is referenced in a lot of components, it's difficult to reverse search
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast, headless cms
Contentstack
What do you like best about the product?
It's quite intuitive after some time, which makes it exciting because you discover new features all the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It really needs time to get into it because the many functions can be overwhelming at the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me to write articles and publish them in a certain way
Still working around issues, but I get things done
What do you like best about the product?
I use Contentstack almost every workday, and although there are things about it that could be improved, I can generally do what I need to do without any major delays or frustrations. Simple content updates are relatively quick and easy. Depending how your applications are set up, workflows can be efficient. The option to save, publish live, or publish to preview/test environments is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of my applications is set up in a very convoluted way, and it would take significant, expensive developer time to fix it. We don't even have access to a development environment to make simple changes, which means we're left to make do. There are also parameters that are frustratingly inaccessible. Additionally, we have a misalignment between master entries and localizations in two of our applications, and Contentstack still has not helped us resolve this issue after more than a year. It creates inefficiencies and confusion. This means job security for me, but it also means the learning curve is prohibitively steep for any part-time or temporary user. Finally, although they seem to have worked on the search function over the last year or so, I still find it lacking. It's not smart enough. The rich text editor is also still cumbersome here and there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Contentstack to manage content for one of our websites and to develop a web-based guided selling tool. Other divisions in the company also use it for similar things.
User-Friendly and Intuitive, Best for Website Management
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Contentstack for building and managing our website; it's user-friendly and intuitive, enhancing my daily workflow despite initial learning curves.
Efficient Content Management with Room for Improved Bulk Editing
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Contentstack to streamline content management, centralizing updates and releases, reducing dependency on developers, allowing accurate scheduled publishing, and focusing more on creativity. It enhances workflow efficiency with scheduling and version control, reducing manual effort and minimizing deployment errors.
Friendly CMS interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like the options for content model setup as well as the ability to specifically target different environments for publishing. The interface is fairly clean and easy to interact with as well. The api options have also integrated fairly easily with our apis for updates and content retrieval.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the localization can lead to some accidental issues if you are handling multiple locales. Other tools I have used allow fields that match to still be in sync even if the locale has been split so that updates after initial creation and splitting don't require duplicate effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentstack is going to serve as our primary Content Management Service for our website, already holding the models for several different pages and components, but currently we are moving more to setup there. This allows our business to more easily update content without needing someone well versed in html writing.
A flexible CMS that supports smooth migrations and structured content management
What do you like best about the product?
Contentstack makes it easy to manage structured content across multiple teams. The platform is intuitive, and its modular content model fits well with enterprise needs. We’ve found it especially helpful during our migration from Contentful—lift-and-shift was straightforward, and the support team has been responsive throughout. The ability to organize content by categories and track engagement metrics is a big plus.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the platform is powerful, the learning curve for new users can be steep, especially when configuring environments and workflows. Some integrations require more manual setup than expected, and documentation could be more detailed in certain areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentstack is assisting us in addressing the challenge of managing structured content at scale across various teams and business units. Its modular content model and adaptable architecture simplify the organization and maintenance of our content, while also positioning us well for future expansion. Additionally, it has improved collaboration between frontend developers and content authors, which has helped to reduce bottlenecks and accelerate our publishing process.
