Senior Project Manager at Honeywell
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.

Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.

Quotes from Members

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

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 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 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."
"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 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 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 saved time and improved efficiency, and compared to other products, it is cost-effective and not expensive."
"Some of the best features with NICE CXone are the real-time visibility that you have, which empowers you to make adjustments on the fly, such as turning on and off your queues and adjusting how we route calls to our agents."
"The agent list is the most valuable feature because we are able to see what each person is doing."
"NICE CXone was a good initial platform because it helped us from a bare-bones patient outreach standpoint, but we did not get the support we needed, and the user interface was very limited regarding what we could do with it."
"We have seen improvements in agent productivity, customer satisfaction, and reduced wait times, specifically an improvement in our CSAT scores and NPS scores, a reduction in cost per call, a decrease in average handle time, and utilization across the board has improved."
"The only thing I liked about this was the fact that you can create an online help system where information changes dynamically."
"NICE CXone allows agents to request time off and trade schedules with other people, access training and coaching, and play games to help improve their performance, functioning as a good one-stop shop where they can input their preferred hours and manage their schedules, rather than having to go to multiple places for professional development."
"The system is very flexible and powerful, especially for organizations wanting to control their environment."
"A combination of these two elements yields positive impact, and we see metrics indicating self-servicing where calls are not getting escalated to agents, and feedback has improved significantly."
 

Cons

"Contentstack is much more complex and advanced technology. I think there are still some UI improvements which can be done to simplify the work."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I noticed that sometimes it takes time, and I am not sure about the server side, as it may not be responding."
"One area where CXone could improve is in creating a more streamlined, user-friendly interface."
"However, being a NICE consumer or developer for these instances and products currently, it becomes challenging due to documentation issues and the instability of some products."
"Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools."
"If you have hundreds of books, the initial download is slow."
"With lots of screenshots to be replaced when we perform a service release, this is pretty tedious work."
"It could improve the quality of calls."
"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."
"Some of the platform enhancements could be improved, as it takes a very long time to get features added into the platform."
