Overall Satisfaction with Sanity

It was decided to replace the old CMS system with Sanity in our company. It used to take a lot of time and effort to do repetitive work prior to Sanity CMS for our marketing department. Our front-end application displays templates for different types of content created using Sanity CMS. Through scheduled publishing, product owners can create multiple banners and promotion pages and publish them across numerous environments automatically, and duplicate content can be created automatically.
  • Drafting and publishing content is intuitive and non-technical.
  • Formatting content is straight-forward and painless.
  • Content--both published and yet-to-be published--can be intuitively managed, edited, tagged, approved, and stored.
  • Available gadgets and modules suit the needs of your site and are easily incorporated onto the page.
  • CMS can be a bit hard to work with for the new users
  • Documentation should include more examples of the output and code along with the output.
  • Custom inputs are quite difficult to start and work with.
  • It helped us to create an excellent developer experience and good experience for their editors as well
  • Sanity has created an incredible platform that effortlessly balances good DX for content modeling and good UI for content editing.
  • Pay-as-you-go hybrid service, no need to worry about reaching a cap and having to suddenly pay $500
- There is no fear of hitting a limit and suddenly having to start paying 500$ per month when you have been using it for free for a while
- You don't have to worry about infrastructure because datasets are available as a service
- With an open-source UI based on React, you don't have any limits to what you can build
- For some reason, I could not find a service that provided schema as code before Sanity, and I cannot understand how anyone could think this was a good idea.

Would you buy Sanity again?

Customization and creation of CMS are almost limitless. Building and customizing the platform is facilitated by a wealth of documentation and video content. As opposed to graphql and traversing rest APIs, Sanity's query language is a breath of fresh air. It really helps you if you want something lightweight but at the same time you want it to be scalable then I think Sanity is your best option.
