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.

Retargeting campaigns have reduced booking cancellations but new users still need clearer guidance
I believe that retargeting is the best feature that Insider offers. The ease of use and the results are why the retargeting feature stands out for me. Insider reads the results near real-time and provides AI segmentation. We only need to prompt, and then Insider will work to determine which segment is best for each campaign. Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year. This is tracked through Insider; however, we also add additional attribution using AppsFlyer. We see significantly fewer employees needed for outbound calls because with Insider, we perform a reconfirmation of booking schedules automatically. This allows us to reduce the need for customer service outbound agents, and Insider has also helped us reduce cancellations.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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 positively impacted our organization by saving development time and making content updates faster."
"Overall, we are really happy with Contentstack as it has made our content work faster, easier, and more organized."
"The best feature Contentstack offers is that it is easy to use."
"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."
"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 positively impacted my organization because we can work with massive product SKUs, and we can now quickly use or reuse components, add products, and do bulk updates."
"Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year."
"Insider is simple to use, making it easy to learn and navigate the platform, so the learning curve is fast."
 

Cons

"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."
"For improvement, I want to clear the cache for the pages, as Contentstack does not provide a default way of invalidating the cache."
"While Contentstack has great features, it is a bit expensive, and there is a learning curve involved for complex content models."
"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."
"Contentstack could be improved in a few areas. I think the user interface could be simpler, especially for new users."
"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 think that Insider can be improved on the UI side because for someone with experience, Insider would be a very great tool."
"I did not enjoy using Insider AI to generate copies, push copies, and messages."
