Contentstack is used as our headless CMS platform for e-commerce sites.
  • Easy to customize, flexible platform
  • Great support from Customer Success Manager
  • Extensive App Marketplace
  • Localization/translation management within the system is difficult/manual
  • Bulk functionality is sometimes limited (i.e. only 20 entry publishes at a time, bulk export/import)
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.

  • Contentstack has allowed us to tell marketing stories effectively and efficiently
  • Contentstack APIs have allowed us to connect many other business critical apps easily
Contentstack's ongoing support via our Customer Success Manager is the best of all platforms we use. Additionally, we are often quickly put in touch with technical folks when needed to get the full support we need, including training on new functionality.

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.
  • Enables us to build and architect content through the use of their easy to use software and user interface.
  • Customer service has been by far the most reliable and responsive in any vendor i've dealt with.
  • Listens to feedback and builds features and technical improvements that helps customers usability and experience.
  • Although there has been significant improvements in the journey to improving their user interface i still think there are some little quirks that could be resolved. nothing major or a deal breaker but would certainly help reduce friction. eg display of modular block list could be easier on the eye and have a description or a screenshot of what the block is or does so that content editors don't need to learn every block name and what it does.
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.

  • We are able to prepare for large campaigns within a few days which can bel rolled our within a few clicks. This was previously never possible before we moved to Contentstack.
  • We now have the tools and ability to architect in a way to take advantage of SEO and drive traffic. Our blog now serves more traffic that the rest of our website. This SEO effort wasn't possible before Contentstack.
  • One of our KPI's for moving to headless was a faster website and we now deliver pages under our original target while serving more asset and content rich pages to visitors
When we were first building our our headless website there were a few things we were unsure on. Contentstack customer support not only were very responsive but also very knowledgeable/technical. They were also happy to jump on a video call and review code to help our team overcome issues ( mainly due to our problems not Contentstack ). I've never known a company to do this before unless it was something you paid above and beyond for. This was all included in our contract. This service helped us stay on track with out headless launch and deliver on time. Beyond happy with the service provided and is still been provided.
When we wanted to move to headless we took a look and tested some of the offerings available for headless CMS. Many do have similar features and services and so for us it came down to how Contentstack built a business relationship and service around their clients. We were given great support from day one and still are. They helped advise on some of the integration we needed to perform some of the business objectives and most of all their pricing was very competitive and straight forward.

We use Contentstack to deliver content to our logged-in and non-logged-in channels, mobile and web. Mainly to deliver marketing content and description of our products. We have entire sites where all the content has been decoupled from the front end and we leave it all in CMS Headless. We also transferred all our FAQs content to Contentstack, so our business and content team can update it much more easily.
  • Content update
  • content omnichannel
  • content modeling
  • Intuitive interface, very easy to use
  • license control
  • consumption statistics of each content
I strongly recommend Contentstack for sites and applications that need content that changes and content is published frequently. Example pages with product descriptions, blog, FAQ pages, stories. With Contentstack we were able to leave all creation and alteration of content to the business team, demanding less from the technology team. The use of Contentstack has helped a lot in communicating with our customers, allowing the business team to create and change content according to the market strategy.

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 tools and GraphQL support.
