Contentstack feels like a win for anyone who wants a straightforward, user-friendly CMS. The interface is very intuitive so pushing content to my sites was a breeze thanks to its headless setup. As a tool I rely on daily, the integration into regular workflows is always smooth. Contentstack handles repetitive tasks with consistency and speed.
One feature I really appreciate is the user group management. I could assign different access levels—like “Content Manager” or “Developer”—right from the dashboard, no fuss. The ability to create custom roles also means I can fine-tune who sees what, down to specific entries or fields, which keeps things organized and secure.
It’s been a time-saver for me and my team to manage our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The initial learning curve can be more demanding than anticipated. The basics are simple, but configuring content models requires more adjustments and demanding a learning curve.
The API rate limits are sometimes a headache to the team. During high-demand scenarios, hitting the rate cap poses the occasional technical hurdles that disrupts the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a product manager, I like the flexibility that Content stack provides us to develop and implement components with and the ease of use for business to update content on the platform.
It has also been easy to integrate with other downstream systems and provided flexibility not just for our website but for other platforms in our organisation.
Additionally, the customer support has been very good whenever we have had any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve for Content Stack sometimes can be quite high depending on how you build it. I also think that some documentation could be more in depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A lot of customize features for different content types that fits into frontend platforms simply with API integration. This also avoid multiple deployments for the platform, but simply by updating on Contentstack and push to respective environment! Love the convenience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a bit low when bulk-publishing entries & assets, especially on videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a content writer and creator, I am constantly publishing various forms of long and short form content. Our company previously used dated CMS systems for each form of content, and I love that we're now able to have it all in one place. The design is sleek, easy to use, and the Contentstack team has been so helpful to adapt the dashboard to fit the unique needs of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The variety of features can be overwhelming at times, as we are coming from a very basic CMS system. There was definitely a learning curve in the beginning! But I do think this will actually prove to be a strength as our company grows into the new system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

No coding is needed for the vast majority of tasks. Very minimal code knowledge (such as using a <strong> tag for bold) for certain text areas is useful, but again not strictly necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hidden content and navigation. Unless you instinctively know where to click or what to look for through experience, some content modules are hidden until clicked/opened then clicked again then clicked to open. For saving screen space on a smaller screen, perhaps this is useful. But in an age of 32" to 42" HD monitors, this is more of a hinderance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Contentstack is versatile and very effective to administer contents in an enterprise environment with many users working simultaneously.
Constantly evolving to offer more functionality and to improve the performance of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Even the register and following of tickets are good. Sometimes the response time is not the best.
Would be great to have more material to know better new functions like live preview or timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It hosts our website, so that's a good thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be fair, I don't know if a lot of my challenges arise from Content Stack as a CMS or the agency that built the website, but it has been riddled with bugs and breaks constantly. It's not super user friendly and the way the components are set up it makes it confusing to build new pages. Also, it takes a very long time to publish. Sometimes hours. It's impossible to work in real time because of this issue. I would not recommend this system to anyone, unfortunately. Again, not sure if it works well for other people but our agency did not do a great job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it is professionally built, the possibility of making mistakes in its use is minimised. Furthermore, I am impressed by the fast customer service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since the frequency of use is not limited to a few times a week, we should work on making the integration easier. Each save takes at least 10 minutes and writing an article is too laborious for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
