Overall Satisfaction with Contentstack

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.
  • Content versioning across various environments
  • Good technical documentation
  • Flexible architecture that supports many use cases
  • 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.
  • source of truth for content and some configuration
  • time saved deploying content
  • change management and tracking
  • release management
The headless nature of Contentstack and GraphQL makes it engineering-friendly.

Do you think Contentstack delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Contentstack's feature set?

Yes

Did Contentstack live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Contentstack go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Contentstack again?

Yes

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.
