    Netlify
    Netlify CMS is well suited when you have very less frequent updates to your content, maybe once a day and very few people need to access your data. You can connect it to Netlify, GitHub, or any platform and have multiple people access it and do as many updates as you wish, but the process is not well-defined and you need to build your own system for that. It is well suited for projects you need to pull off with very low cost, it is essentially free as the software is open source and free to use, and all you need to do is set up your schema correctly and find a deployment pipeline where you can build your static site/API to redeploy whenever the content changes. I personally used a GitHub Login -> Netlify CMS -> next app consumer of content -> GitHub pipelines to run next SSG -> GitHub Pages to deploy the built static site. It might not be appropriate for large teams where users themselves need no-code tools to modify the schema of the content.

    Mapistry
    Well suited for a large team with many facilities; in the field use with the app; cloud-based; many users can access the system. Not suited for downloads of pictures/documents in all inspections; slow downloads in the field; the app can lose information if there is a time delay.

    Cons
    Netlify
    • Linking between different schema types, i.e. having some relations between content
    • Better ways to define content schema, like how TinaCMS would handle using a JSON

    Mapistry
    • Uploading of pictures in field; the software can bog down and kick you out of the app.
    • Field use; there should be an auto save if the app turns off.
    • Ability to attach pictures and documents to more reports/inspections.

    Alternatives Considered
    Netlify
    We really can't compare it to full-fledged CMS software, like WordPress, which has a lot of community and support with widgets, plugins, and whatnot. It's not built for that, but you can compare it to Contentful, Ghost, Strapi, etc., which provide similar functionality to a headless CMS with custom schema options, but even among them, it still lacks a lot of functionality, ease of use, and support. But Netlify CMS pros would be of the opinion that compared to other platforms where most schemas need to use their own tools and frameworks, it's very cost-effective. Something new called TinaCMS has come up to compete with Netlify CMS by covering most of its shortcomings, but it's something new being built by the same team that built Forestry CMS and comes with many modern features, yet currently only supports NextJS SSG.
