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

"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."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Salesforce CRM is its reporting feature because it's extensive and it's very accurate. I also like that you can move opportunities by stages. I find that feature very important and very useful because it helps you understand where opportunities get stuck, and at what stage it is currently."
"What I found most valuable in Salesforce CRM is its reporting feature because it's extensive and it's very accurate."
"All the business intelligence included in the tool gives more information about the cycle of the sales stage."
 

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."
"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."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The support for Salesforce CRM was not very prompt. It took us a lot of time to receive support."
"An area for improvement in Salesforce CRM is that there's still a lot of manual input you need to make. If it could pick up things automatically from an email and auto-populate, that would make the tool better. Another area for improvement is that the Salesforce CRM connector for G-suite does not work effectively."
