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

"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 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 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 backend system was managed by Sendbird, eliminating the need for caching systems or local storage on user devices."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
 

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."
"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."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
