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.

Organized real-time customer chats have improved support efficiency and response handling
One thing I found unique about Sendbird is how smooth the real-time chat feels. It does not feel delayed or clunky. Conversations flow naturally, as though you are talking to someone in real time. If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance. That would make it much easier to optimize support without relying on external tools. One improvement I see for Sendbird would be more flexibility in customizing the chat interface, especially around how conversations are displayed for agents. Sometimes, when handling multiple chats, having better layout controls or quick filters would make it much easier to stay organized. I also would appreciate more built-in analytics inside the platform itself, such as clearer breakdowns of response times, chat resolution rates, and common customer issues. Right now, you often need external tools to get that level of insights. Overall, it works very well, but those improvements would make the day-to-day support work much smoother and much more efficient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, we are really happy with Contentstack as it has made our content work faster, easier, and more organized."
"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."
"One of the best features Contentstack offers is that when you create one item, such as a URL, you can use this item across other pages, which helps keep the content clean, although it can also lead to difficulties in finding this information for other pages."
"The best feature Contentstack offers is that it is easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
"Overall, Sendbird is a solid choice if you are looking for a reliable, scalable chat solution without the overhead of building and maintaining your own messaging infrastructure."
"Sendbird is a very strong, reliable tool when it comes to real-time communications."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
 

Cons

"I noticed that sometimes it takes time, and I am not sure about the server side, as it may not be responding."
"The API, specifically the Content Delivery API, can be a bit tricky sometimes."
"I think Contentstack can be improved with a more appealing user design because it seems too bland."
"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."
"While migrating the content, I found many quality issues rather than positive outcomes because our final goal was to recreate the same website within Contentstack."
"For improvement, I want to clear the cache for the pages, as Contentstack does not provide a default way of invalidating the cache."
"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."
"While Contentstack has great features, it is a bit expensive, and there is a learning curve involved for complex content models."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"To improve Sendbird, it could provide features such as those in WhatsApp, including allowing users to share their current location and live location, and enabling users to keep and share their current status with others."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"For Sendbird to be improved, I would say creating more multi-platform SDKs is essential."
"Sendbird can be improved by looking into the app ID and improvements on a daily basis."
