Both Assai and Atlassian Confluence have steep learning curves. I personally feel the system should be plug-and-play majority of the times. This saves a lot of time and cost. Considering how expensive getting training professionals can be, a tool that is simple to use can add …

Chose Contentstack
Featurewise, there's not a lot that separates these CMSs, and it's hard to assess in a SW selection phase exactly how the products stack up against each other. Ultimately, the choice of Contentstack came down to the dialogue with the sales rep.
Chose Contentstack
Before deciding on Contentstack, we researched some tools, we chose it because of the ease of creating and changing content, the API options for querying content, the ease of modeling new content APIs, high capacity of the CDN to deliver content, ease of integration with other …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Agility CMS is great value for money for a complete CMS solution. Overall user experience of this system is amazing for both, users as well as developers.Solid CDN, asset management, editorial features that come in very handy like content scheduling, image editing, batch publishing, are some of the plus points. Mobile support for developers has a scope for improvement though.

Contentstack has flexible functionality which opens up a lot of possibilities for businesses with proactive web development teams to create their own website builder app to compete with 3rd party agencies. This is especially useful in a large enterprise where non-technical teams often turn to expensive outside agencies which cost more in the long run than an up-front investment into an in-house application.

  • In my opinion it's not very intuitive. I've found its difficult to understand how to best structure entries, especially if they are related
  • In my experience, entries can get difficult to understand if weren't the creator. It would be helpful to have some meta data around the entry itself and the fields within them in my opinion.
  • Integration with an A/B testing platform would be nice.

Support Rating
Support is always available and responsive when we email, responding right away that they are on the case, even if they are unable to solve the issue right away. Support will usually find the issue of our problem quickly and require minimal hand-holding, direction, or re-explanation from our team. They are knowledgeable about the platform and our instance and are able to run diagnostics with minimal information from us. When issues are resolved they always request confirmation that things are working as expected before closing out our tickets.

They have an in-app chat with their support team, who is always quick to respond and provide helpful answers. I've never walked away from an interaction without my issue being solved quickly and easily. They're also very communicative over email and are sure to follow up after any changes are made to ensure we're seeing the desired result. They are always very professional and easy to work with.

Agility offers a balance of simplicity and capability that other platforms don't offer. User-friendly platforms like Word Press do not offer our company the ability to fully customize our site based on our goals, but more adaptable programs like Drupal do not offer the support resources to simplify the structure of our site with pre-existing modules or professional development to meet our needs.
