Apart from the generally simple and easy to use UI for content editors, it has been fun to use this CMS with the frequent updates and the company's positive response to feature requests. We truly get the feeling that they are valuing their users' opinions and ideas. We've actually gone as far as to use the CMS not only for content purposes, but also begun to create configurations and controllers, in order to avoid having to deploy all the time.
One of the things that we feel could still improve, is the bulk actions. Can't really say I dislike it, but I do feel there's a lot of chance for improvements there. Adding more functions that could be addressed in bulk would greatly benefit us.
When we first implemented Contentstack, we were looking for a native headless CMS, that was robust and stable on the dev side, could be easily integrated with other systems and handle multiple languages and locales, and was simple and intuitive on the editor side. We needed roles and permissions for our users and were looking for a system that provided workflows, preferably across languages. Two years into our partnership, Contenstack has delivered on all accounts and we are extremely pleased with their product and services.
Headless Adaptability and partnership to adapt roadmap Good performance Good customer support Easy to use
Pricey compared to other options. The pricing model is overcomplicated and difficult to project in time for long-term contracts.
It's allowing us to empower our content teams to self-manage the content globally in a self-serve way, so increase our efficieny.
The collaboration and basic CMS features work really well and it is designed for teams (ie Mid Market to Enterprise) organisations. We love headless CMSs and this is the best we've used to date.
The initial cost compared to other CMSs is high. But within a few months we agreed it was more than worth the cost.
Multiple websites and Apps (Eventually) that share content.
The flexibility and ease of content modelling as well as onboarding content users. The in-product chat is also super helpful as the customer support is incredibly responsive. We had our stack up and running, powering content in a couple months. The last project that was simliar took multiple quarters.
The pricing is confusing and difficult to understand. Localization is not ideal as once something is localized, updating is very confusing

The Contentstack team is always innovating / adding helpful features. They are very open to feedback and feature requests.
We sometimes run into challenges when changing the data structure of content types with many entries.
Contentstack provides us with a flexible solution to manage our content. We have a variety of users who need to access and edit our content in a variety of ways including content authors, editors, developers and translators. The headless nature of Contentstack allows us to use APIs for our our automated tasks, while still providing a nice UI when needed. Since Contentstack is cloud based we don't need to worry about managing infrastructure. We can trust that our data is safe and available.
As we have embarked on a tricky migration journey, we chose Contentstack for it's ability to enable us to make a step up in achieving our content vision. We are not there yet but as we move forward on this journey we found a solution that was fit to the challenge and a partner that was both inspiring and highly supportive. The teams is caring about feedback and truly dedicated to customer success, putting words into action.
It is difficult to say at this stage, we have encountered difficulties but the people at Contentstack have been there to support in advice aswell as taking into account our needs on their roadmap.
Migration from 2 legacy CMS into 1. Reusability of content Personalization of content
The flexibility of customization makes integration seamless
UI can be improved a bit for navigating the stacks but thats a "reaching" feedback
Creating a seamless process in making site updates without having to update the codebase, as well as scheduling of updates.
The well designed platform is adapted to any user, it provides with a way to manage my own content without using private web sites. In addition to this, I received with pleasure the easy way of integration with digital app, android and others mobile devices.
I think that this platform fulfill with all the requirements but unfortunately the high level of cost make it difficult to access to all users.
I have reached many clients with the creations of new content, it has served as one way connections with my business contacts.
