Contentstack Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Contentstack is used as our headless CMS platform for e-commerce sites.

Likelihood to Recommend

Contentstack is great for building flexible marketing-focused stories and landing pages without developer needs (post-setup). As an e-commerce platform out of the box, it requires some thoughtful customization and is easy to create webs of references or otherwise messy data structures.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contentstack as the CMS behind our website builder platform, which powers several content-driven websites across the business including our Corporate site. Across all the sites using this platform we have around 1.5 million visitors per year. We use Contentstack's Modular Blocks functionality and link those blocks to custom components in our website builder app. This allows non-technical users in the business to design and build their own websites without the need for them to write any code, and with components that are already styled according to our brand. This functionality allows Editors in the business to be in control, and to quickly and easily build and maintain entire websites without the need for involving a Development team.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We needed to future-proof the next iteration of our website and be able to have non-website specialists contribute to uploading content. With Contentstack, we're able to really narrow down the user access and approval flows.

It's great for large companies with multiple brands and content across multiple sites.

While it's a great product, it's probably overkill if you're a smaller company with only one main website. However, it is future-proofing even if you have just one site.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contentstack to administer changes to our web applications. Items such as images, color, text, and data relationships are configured in Contentstack. This allows us to remotely change aspects of our sites without having to deploy a new version of our application. Contentstack also gives us the ability to put website changes into the hands of stakeholders outside of the technology department, where they can make and release changes as they see fit.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best suited for content and light configuration management. In my opinion, it's not the best for building dynamic components that will be used on a web page. It's best to just manage the content and hydrate the component from Contentstack. This makes sense to engineers but it's not as visual for stakeholders outside of engineering.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ContentStack to replace a legacy solution on prem, Sitecore. The scope of the use case was to replace a customers legacy website using Sitecore, in 10 languages, to Contentstack.

Based on my experience ContentStack delivered on all of their promises from both a service, technology and account standpoint. The responsiveness did not decline after we became a customer.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contentstack for content management on our [...] website. Contentstack has been able to help us address how we deliver content across our website in a way that allows us to merchandise and brand in every way our marketing and ecommerce department desires. This ranges from basic text and images to personalisation, business logic and campaign driven content to help improve conversion on our website. Not only do Contentstack provide the content but they deliver with reliability, great customer service and a user interface that has enabled our team to build/architect content with ease.

Contentstack gives you the ability to architect complex websites with simplicity. If you are building ecommerce websites with multiple regions and languages, Contentstack gives you that ability to migrate to a headless application very quickly without content limitations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our website platform is powered by Contentstack, which we find to be very useful. With Contentstack, creating page templates is easy and straightforward. We appreciate how it simplifies the process of designing a platform that is both simple and scalable, and eliminates the complexity of managing a CMS. The modular blocks functionality is a feature we love because it allows us to create reusable components that can be effortlessly dragged and dropped to create pages. Our organisation is passionate about automation, and we are impressed with the breadth of APIs and tools that Contentsack offers to help us manage our stacks via code.

Great product designed for scale with modern development principles

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contentstack to run all composable media for our site - it's our main CMS and works in partnership with our headless UI solution. All content and editable messaging are run through Contenstack to show up on our site. A key component of our business is updated messaging to keep up with seasonal and market trends. We needed a solution that allows for quick, ad hoc, but still controlled content updates that we could get a large amount of the team to use. It's been incredibly helpful for us to make sure our site is always changing and up-to-date.

Likelihood to Recommend

We've used Contentstack to great effect as our headless CMS. We have it connected to our custom UI, and it allows us to update content basically in real-time, with updates reflecting on the site within seconds. It's incredibly effective at allowing us to democratize content generation - we have team members from product, e-commerce, and marketing teams all simultaneously managing different types of content without conflict or issues. It's so flexible that we've never run into a use case that we can't build for.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contentstack to create and localize landingpages for our webshops. We also use it to handle SEO texts and content elements on our commerce pages like PDP, Basket & Check-Out. Other than that, we use it to power our blog. We use scheduled publishing a lot to be able to plan our work, and we make content components that can handle structured content in order to automate graphical elements on the sites.

Contentstack is great at serving content to JAMstack frontends. Contentstack could improve the usability of the content editors, as well as the commercial model surrounding users. As content can be all of landing pages, SEO texts, assets, campaign pages, legal texts, and more, a lot of users need to access Contentstack just a little bit - but Contentstack charges per user rather than per concurrent user - which becomes quite expensive.
