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.

Partner program has reduced messaging costs and now supports reliable, large scale communication
I believe Gupshup could improve in several areas. Since our partnership involves working at scale for multiple WhatsApp Business API numbers over their infrastructure, I noticed that Gupshup also provides WhatsApp Business API for single consumers, which I saw on their website and documentation. They charge additionally per message or template message on top of the actual WhatsApp Business APIs messaging rate. For example, sending a WhatsApp marketing template costs around $1.50, and Gupshup adds their own service fee per message, around 20 to 30 cents. For a single consumer working at scale and sending thousands of messages daily, this can become concerning. They should implement a solution where it could be a one-off payment instead of per message payment, allowing single consumers to leverage their service better. What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me. Being a tech-focused person, I believe the system we rely on should be totally reliable and the people working on it should be reliable as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 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 saved time and improved efficiency, and compared to other products, it is cost-effective and not expensive."
"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 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."
"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."
"We have achieved a 97 to 98 percent successful delivery rate for business-critical OTPs and transactional notifications."
"Gupshup has positively impacted my organization by helping me achieve a lower customer acquisition cost than another BSP."
"Gupshup is doing a good job in terms of accuracy and reliability, and they can keep doing so."
"I believe Gupshup is one of the best services that I have used for sending notifications, and I totally trust it."
"I think the best feature Gupshup offers is the very good documentation, and I appreciate how they provide assistance when we need it, as well as the architecture of the documentation."
"Gupshup has positively impacted my organization in multiple ways, significantly impacting the bottom line and providing an overall return through the WhatsApp automation report showing around 398 percent on investment over a three-year period."
"My main use case with Gupshup was flawless; it was very user-friendly, and I personally loved using it."
"I believe Gupshup has made the process of integrating WhatsApp for customers more agile."
 

Cons

"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."
"I noticed that sometimes it takes time, and I am not sure about the server side, as it may not be responding."
"For improvement, I want to clear the cache for the pages, as Contentstack does not provide a default way of invalidating the cache."
"The API, specifically the Content Delivery API, can be a bit tricky sometimes."
"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."
"Contentstack is much more complex and advanced technology. I think there are still some UI improvements which can be done to simplify the work."
"I would appreciate more granular error code documentation for edge case API delivery failures, deeper out-of-the-box integration with cloud monitoring tools such as AWS CloudWatch or DataDog for native metric scraping, and a more responsive administrative console when querying massive historical message logs."
"What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me."
"I remember that I was trying to get the webhooks about account information, and I had trouble finding in the documentation how I could receive webhooks about the account, such as when we have an account that could be blocked or when the limit of messages might be erased."
"My feedback regarding Gupshup is that during the DLT setting of IDs in the SMS and WhatsApp section, whatever is written in the portal has to be precise."
"Gupshup can be improved in terms of the UI and the design of the particular model."
"If I suggest an improvement, I would desire to see deeper analytics."
"The main thing the support team should do is give immediate resolution, not take a day or two or three days."
"Gupshup could be improved by adding more selection of templates."
