Scalable CMS with Intuitive Customization
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Contentstack scales easily as we grow and allows our teams to create, structure, and update content independently across multiple digital channels and platforms. Its simple and intuitive user experience makes it easy for editors to use, while also providing the flexibility to customize it to our specific workflows and integrations. The way it helps power scalable, multilingual, and multi-brand experiences is also valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have a better way to migrate branches to another branch, such as copying the whole main, including assets, to the develop branch. The bulk import and export, including assets, could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Contentstack to manage and deliver content across digital channels. It lets teams update content independently, offering flexibility and scalability for multilingual, multi-brand experiences, and enables developers and editors to work in parallel.
Effortless Website Updates and Impressive Speed Boost
What do you like best about the product?
It has increased our site speed, it makes updating our website quick and easy in many ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the future scheduling system could be reworked to make it easier to manage future updates and the preview functionality needs to be 1:1 to what the site will look like and there are a few features (side bars) on the Timeline page that prevent you from being able to do a true preview (it's close, but to truly preview a future update, you need to be able to see it 1:1)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Site speed increased significantly. Updates to site are faster and easier than before.
Empowers Content Flexibility, Needs Better Entity Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to create and manage the content types in Contentstack and the flexibility this offers with the use of references and global fields. Content Types are valuable because I'm able to define models I need to reuse and create a data model that others can be constrained to. References are valuable because they allow me to create more complex models that can more easily reuse data across presentation layers. Global Fields are valuable because they make it faster to create the models, and they also force you to think about whether an object should be scoped to a content type or exist as its own content type.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggled with a few things: 1) The amount of entities grows quickly and it's hard to manage and search for them. A visual tool or naming convention recommendation might help. 2) It's difficult to find practical examples of how presentation and domain data is split in CMS. More examples in the documentation would be beneficial. 3) We have multiple channels (mobile/web, etc.) and lack best practices on sharing content across these channels. We started using abstraction to have a mobile presentation content type reference a global reference type that is shared, but more recommendations from Contentstack would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Contentstack for hosting and serving presentation data, solving content modeling, entity management, and caching issues.

Headless Content Management Platform with Outstanding Support
What do you like best about the product?
Contentstack is a headless CMS that enables companies to create custom-coded templates and components that can be reused, allowing non-technical publishers to leverage them. The platform offers a high level of flexibility and customization. The support and account teams are fabulous, proactively reaching out to schedule QBRs and sharing product updates and feature releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
A developer or technical team is required to update or create new templates. If you are a small team or don't have a developer on staff, you will need to hire someone to create and update new templates and components for your website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contentstack allows us to easily update existing content and publish new pages to the website using our pre-built templates and components. Our non-technical publishers aren't required to have coding skills to use the pre-built templates.
Fast and User-Friendly Digital Migration Tool
What do you like best about the product?

Nothing at this time.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's somewhat limiting that developer support is required to make any changes.

Managing content and collaborating across multiple teams has been a key aspect of my experience. The process of coordinating with different groups to handle content effectively is both challenging and rewarding.

Empowers Teams with Flexible, User-Friendly Website Management
What do you like best about the product?
Contentstack helps our team streamline website management across our department. Its headless CMS is flexible which allows us to build fast, while the marketing team manages content independently. You also don't have to be extremely technical to work daily in the platform which is a huge benefit.
What do you dislike about the product?
If we want to build out additional modules, it does require dev work to complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seamless website management for every member of our marketing department. Anyone is able to go in to publish and make updates as needed.
Way easier to make your own and learn to use than other CMS products
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dependence on internal dev team is lessening now that we can manage our site through COntentstack (versus Wordpress which required more dev work to do what we needed the site to do and was ALWAYS breaking and needing plug-in updates).
