It has helped us improve our latency performance drastically
As a large scale high performance trading platform serving the high frequency trading community, latency has always been critical for our clients. Before using Azul Zing JVM, we would have had to spend a lot of effort tuning our JVM GC and profiling our application to minimize latency, which is…

Flexible content workflows have transformed how our team updates seasonal messaging in real time
Overall, we have used Contentstack to great effect as our headless CMS. We have it connected to our custom UI, and it allows us to update basically in real time with updates reflecting on the site within seconds. The best features Contentstack offers are extremely flexible to our needs, meets all our use cases, easy to use, and the UI is very intuitive. It is easy for the whole team to manage content, and support is helpful and responsive. The flexibility and intuitive UI of Contentstack help meet all our use cases in our organization. The UI is very intuitive and user-friendly, making it very easy to use, even for new users who find it very easy to navigate. Additionally, Contentstack has continuous product improvement and enables us to build and architect content through the use of their easy-to-use software and user interface. Contentstack has positively impacted our organization by saving time deploying content and allowing our team members to manage content, thereby getting time to market faster. Precisely, we have been able to save 30 to 45 percent of our time. Also, having a rich partner network has improved the speed to adopt new functionality. The administration application is very user-friendly and does not require a lot of ramp-up for users, which has also decreased the time it takes to get content deployed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"No other JVM on the market even comes close to competing with the Azul Zing."
"Zing has completely solved the garbage collection problem for us."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"Performance of the JVM, especially the C4 Pauseless Garbage Collection, for continuous application execution is the most valuable feature."
"GC Pause times are maintained in low milliseconds, which is beneficial for applications with high volume, high memory allocation rate, and a high memory footprint, and it also increases throughput by approximately 20-25% as compared to Oracle Java Development Kit based on some tests that I have done with real applications."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance drastically."
"With Zing, we've now been able to re-allocate those tuning resources to general product development."
"The non-stop garbage collector (C4 - Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) is the most valuable feature."
"Contentstack has saved time and improved efficiency, and compared to other products, it is cost-effective and not expensive."
"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."
"Contentstack has positively impacted our organization, as tracking changes made by our very large team is difficult, so we are using Contentstack to update data in real-time."
"Contentstack has impacted my organization positively by helping us to deliver an application with a very good quality in terms of how it looks and feels."
"Contentstack has created an impact of quick access to a non-tech person to add the properties right away and to work on their own personalized marketing campaigns and other aspects."
"The ease of use, which I mentioned as the best part, is especially highlighted by the clean UI and predictable UX of Contentstack, as there is not too much information on the screen at the same time that can confuse the users."
"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."
 

Cons

"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"It is extremely expensive."
"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"However, like every other great product, there is always something that can be improved."
"We have encounter stability issues and that has been a source of frustration at times."
"The profiling tools included with Zing lag behind those available for Oracle's Java implementation."
"The licensing over non-production environments considerably affects the cost of our solution as a software vendor."
"Contentstack is much more complex and advanced technology. I think there are still some UI improvements which can be done to simplify the work."
"The API, specifically the Content Delivery API, can be a bit tricky sometimes."
"I noticed that sometimes it takes time, and I am not sure about the server side, as it may not be responding."
"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."
"We are more worried about the pricing. For example, somebody who is a tech person trying to integrate based on the events finds it a little bit more not so accessible."
"For improvement, I want to clear the cache for the pages, as Contentstack does not provide a default way of invalidating the cache."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Contentstack?
I do not have an idea about pricing, setup costs, or licensing as I am a developer and not the owner, so I do not have that information. High-level managers would know those details.
What needs improvement with Contentstack?
I would suggest increasing the developer-friendly documentation rather than just having a great product. The documentation is not developer-friendly, and the content is not so vivid and it is not m...
What is your primary use case for Contentstack?
Our main use case for Contentstack is currently building another real estate management platform. We want to put a module out of Contentstack for other companies to utilize the CMS, utilize aspects...
