Overall Satisfaction with Contentstack

We used Contentstack in a pretty vanilla CMS setup. The client needed to be able to update the text content for their website without the requirement for Dev resource.

Frankly, I wasn't involved with the actual setup of the, but regularly contributed to the management of the content and layout.
I found Contentstack relatively straightforward to work with, albeit the handling of image uploads / conversion could do with a little streamlining.
It needs to be stated that whilst Contentstack was rock solid in use, the implementation of a CMS was perhaps overkill for a relatively simple website - the client however we're happy with the results.

Pros

  • Easy to manage once implemented
  • Good tools for the handling / conversion / compression of images.
  • Intuitive layout tools

Cons

  • Fiddly setup
  • The image tools, whilst good, are less than intuitive
  • Easy to manage the site
  • Could hand control over to the content chaps
  • Simple tweaks to site and wording could be implemented with no dev hours

Do you think Contentstack delivers good value for the price?

Are you happy with Contentstack's feature set?

Did Contentstack live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Contentstack go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Contentstack again?

Yes

In the most recent project in which we used Contentstack, the client requested to host their text content via CMS so that their Content Editors could manage the text and layout without requirements for developer intervention.
Contentstack worked fine for this solution, however there is a worry that the solution was perhaps over engineered - as the site was relatively small and uncomplicated
