"Easy to Learn, User-Friendly, and Highly Customizable"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I like how easy Contentstack is to use and to train on. It is very user friendly and users are able to learn it quickly without issue. I also like the control and customization for my specific needs. it was also very easy to implement with my team which has saved time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

I think all the drop down arrows to explode content is the least helpful, I would prefer to click into something rather than having a lot of collapsible arrows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bianca Anderson of Contentstack

"Empowers Content Flexibility, Needs Better Entity Management"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

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.

Response from Bianca Anderson of Contentstack

Hi Yvan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We really appreciate it.

We’re glad to hear Contentstack’s flexibility around content modeling, references, and global fields has been valuable for your team. We’ve also shared your feedback around entity management at scale, naming conventions, and clearer guidance on domain vs. presentation modeling and multi-channel reuse with our internal teams. This type of input directly informs how we evolve our documentation and Contentstack Academy courses, and we’re actively working to expand practical examples and best-practice guidance in these areas.

In the meantime, if you’d like more tailored recommendations or a walkthrough specific to your architecture, we encourage you to reach out directly to your Customer Success Manager for 1:1 support.

Thanks again for helping us improve.

What do you like best about Contentstack?

Very flexible headless CMS solution that works fast, is pretty intuïtive in use and provides high website speeds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

You need some CMS experience to be able to manage this CMS tool, cause it works very different from other solutions with WYSIWYG editors. This one doesn't contain this solution out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable but Intimidating for New Users"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I like Contentstack's customization options for developers. It allows us to build our stacks to meet our organizational needs. The opportunity for customization was a key reason for switching from Confluence to Contentstack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Layers of snippets can often be intimidating and the user interface is not intuitive to new users. For example, the difference between embedding, linking, and embedding a link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A user friendly webpage management platform, easy to navigate and responsive"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Each section when editing is made clear to prevent any mistakes when creating and amending web pages. Hyperlinking a website within text is made easy and references make it clear when amending a page after some time. I use ContentStack for work on a daily basis and am satisfied with its functionality and easy use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

The only negative thing I have found is that when creating a new document page it only has the option to add an existing document. You need to save and come out of the new page in order to add a new document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
