Digital Delivery Lead at a leisure / travel company with 10,001+ employees
It provides a consolidated platform to manage content for the content editors.
Hosting support is the most valuable feature. Acquia provides a standard for the support and the incident requests. Their knowledge of Drupal as a CMS has enabled us to focus on developing business outcomes rather than focusing on the IT operations. Acquia has provided a resilient hosting infrastructure that allows our people to focus on delivering value to our customers.

Content teams have gained control to deliver omnichannel marketing content efficiently
The best features Contentstack offers are easy customization, a flexible platform, great support from a customer success manager, and an extensive app marketplace. Additionally, content update, content omnichannel delivery, content modeling, and an intuitive interface that is very easy to use stand out. The flexibility and app marketplace of Contentstack help a lot in communicating with our customers, allowing the business team to create and change content according to market strategy. Contentstack has positively impacted my organization because since we started using this tool, we have seen improved website response time by 50 percent. There is a great cost benefit, and Contentstack allows us to tell marketing stories effectively and efficiently. Contentstack APIs have allowed us to connect many other business critical apps easily. The impact on my marketing stories and efficiency is notable; I can execute campaigns very easily and we were able to reach out to many customers easily.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Acquia has provided a resilient hosting infrastructure that allows our people to focus on delivering value to our customers."
"Contentstack is a great tool; the service helped us stay on track with our headless launch and deliver on time, and we are beyond happy with the service provided and still being provided."
"Since using Contentstack, we have seen a time savings of 70% because it is easy to use and flexible."
"The speed index has had a great impact; earlier we had something in the 60s on Google Page Insights, but now we are able to achieve 90-plus."
"Contentstack has positively impacted the organization by helping save time and money that could have been used for other things that Contentstack has already done, with fifty to fifty-five percent of time saved and a forty percent increase in income."
"We have seen an increase in customer flow, with a 50% increase in our customer count."
"I have observed a 40% increase in revenue from the organization, and 50% to 65% of my time has been saved since Contentstack is faster and easy to use."
"Since adopting Contentstack, I have saved fifty to fifty-five percent of my time as it is faster and things are flowing faster in my organization."
"Contentstack has positively impacted my organization because since we started using this tool, we have seen improved website response time by 50 percent, there is a great cost benefit, and Contentstack allows us to tell marketing stories effectively and efficiently."
 

Cons

"The automation tools need to improve."
"License control should be improved, along with consumption statistics of which content should be enhanced."
"It is good, but not great. For something like eighty percent of my set of tasks, I can scale based on the background we have with Contentstack."
"Many users need to access content in Contentstack only a little bit, but it charges per user rather than per concurrent user, which becomes quite expensive."
"The accessibility of the user interface, especially for screen reader users, could be improved in Contentstack."
"The rating is an eight because license control and mobile responsiveness would have made it a ten, and it is hard to edit content on the go."
"Contentstack can be improved with license control and consumption statistics for each content."
"Contentstack can be improved in localization because translation management within the system is difficult and mostly manual."
"Contentstack can be improved by offering additional analytics via the API, training and examples, and updating SDKs to reflect technology changes."
