Great system, very flexible, but takes some getting used to

  • November 14, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Interface has improved and flexibility for developers is very good. Users will need to know what areas to interface with to make updates and changes, but once mapped out it's very good for content implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still several areas that are "closed" when a user enters to make changes or create new content. Tracking, for example, is on a single line of closed content with the same color background as the interface, very easy to overlook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Once the user gains sufficient experience the system is actually fairly intuitive and making updates can be both fast and easy to execute. Being able to set up multiple content areas and schedule changes in advance is a critical feature for our use.

Cencora User Contentstack Review

  • November 13, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Contentstack has a very intuitive and easy to use UI which allows me to get my work done in a timely manner. The layout of features is easy to navigate and allows for efficient configuration, definition and implementation across all features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't come across much that I dislike about Contentstack. Some of the documentation seems to go out of date and may need to be refreshed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contenstack is acting as a central media store as well as text content store. We are allowing a user set to manage content as they see fit, while our application UI places that content on our webpages.

Easy, fast and hassle-free CMS

  • November 12, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a straightforward software and easy to figure out. The Ease of Integration with Other E-commerce Software makes it very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe one thing I can mention is that because it is very easy to use at the same time it is vulnerable to risk data removal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping to amplify the location of the content in our webpage.

Easy to use for marketing teams

  • November 12, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to find where everything is. Every page is set up basically the same so you can duplicate and organize your elements on each page quickly. I also really like the modern and simple UI because it's easy to the eyes. I don't have an extensive background in web development, so Contentstack makes it a breeze to update our website and publish blogs. I've ran into some minor issues before, but the support team is super responsive and helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems base features are not super customizable, you really have to explore different partners in their ecosystem to be able to do more sophisticated things. Minor complaints from me are that there are some inconsistencies in what you can or can't do in certain elements (ex. being able to hyperlink in one text box but not another). This might be an issue in other CMS platforms as well, but I wish Contentstack would be able to publish quicker or at least show a preview quicker without having to refresh or wait for a while.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentstack helps me with collaborating with my marketing team members when we are working on a new product page or blog together and it also makes it easy for me to publish pages without a web development background or having to ask one of our dev team members. I did not need too much training when I first started using Contentstack, so learning curve barrier is not too high.

Easy to use, but with lots of apps and plugins to allow flexibility.

  • November 12, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, very well documented API, overal flexibility with languages and environments. Customer support is relatively quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain links not being able to open in a new tab (e.g. when selecting a stack). Reusing some content model pieces within the same content type - there's no way to copy paste them and using global fields is unnecessary/has its own limits (such as being unable to use a global field + some other fields in a modular block).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to create different content for different languages and environments, but also being able to reuse what was built in case there are no content differences among those languages/envs.
Ability to design our own plugins that our business users can utilize to display content in a desired format and layout.

Great headless CMS for all programming skill levels

  • August 29, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Making changes to our site with Contentstack is incredibly straightforward, allowing for quick updates to key pages and assets. The level of customization within the platform was overwhelming at first, but after spending some time in their "Academy", using the platform was a breeze. My entire team is using CS on the daily, and one of the biggest advantages is that even team members without programming skills can work independently with minimal support from our IT team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The seemingly limitless customization options within the platform can be overwhelming for those not familiar with working with a headless CMS. It can be pretty easy to get lost in the details with so many possibilities, which can slow down decision-making and implementation. For teams that don't have a clear strategy for their website, the flexibility might lead to inconsistency in content management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CS offers the flexibility we need from a CMS to manage content across a variety of different platforms (website, mobile devices, etc). It integrates very well with our tech stack, which was a problem we experienced in the past with other CMS platforms, and it's also one of the most affordable headless CMS solutions we found.

What do you dislike about the product?
I still don't know how to see the audience in real time, I understand it is an innovation.

It helps to improve the website of the company where I work, especially to show products in an easy way.

User-friendly interface for all levels

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Once past the learning curve, contentstack is really easy to navigate. Unlike other CMSs, contentstack is quite forgiving. Out of all the years I've worked with contentstack, i have been impressed by their reliability. Contentstack makes building page a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I run into any issues, I do have to expect a long wait time for support. I have waited over a month for resolution to issues, forcing me to find a workaround.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As our business grows, so do our content needs. Contentstack’s headless CMS architecture allows for easy scaling, accommodating increased content volume and complexity without requiring a complete overhaul of the system.

Better experience in CMS

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
CS is easier to use than other CMS, you can see your changes automatically on the website and you have the oppportunity to use a test enviroment before send your changes to production. Multiples option of integration with other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to have the option to see where will impact my changes on the website. The only option we have is with a title or description, should be good to have a printscreen as option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I´m working in a company with more than 50 website along the globe, and CS is very scalable ans easy to use.
