What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our previous content management solutions was not user friendly, basically a database. We're aligning content for apps and website; make content management easy to do.

"Overall, the app is easy to navigate, but it could use tweaks to encourage collaboration among teams"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

ContentStack is easy to navigate. Details are organized and labeled accordingly. Our team uses the app on a daily basis to implement changes on our websites. There are also features that help facilitate these changes such as scheduling and staging, which make things easier as we no longer have to rely solely on our testing environment to see how our changes would look like. My team is also able to provide feedback and get customer support from time-to-time, especially when we encounter challenges with using the app. Overall, even if it has been less than a year since we've launched our website using ContentStack, it was easier to integrate into our daily processes than we initially expected.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

I hope ContentStack gives us more freedom to edit labels per categories and shift layers (e.g. nav menu items and sub-links) so that we can easily integrate terminologies that are specific to our organization. Also, I wish that the interface someday makes it easier for teams to collaborate on projects. What happens is that sometimes, scheduled events are overwritten if other team members are trying to change a different dimension in the site. Hopefully, the application becomes easier to collaborate in and that it would be strategized upon for this vision.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

ContentStack is easier to navigate compared to our previous content management system. This gives us back time that we could use on other projects.

"Solid platform, great service and smart roadmap"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

The team at Contentstack has your back. They'll work with you to address challenges, offer solutions and tweak their roadmap if possible to make their customers happy.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

While highly rated the platform is still somewhat early in it's lifecycle, so if you're a large enterprise it's still building out features you might expect. However, their composable headless framework mitigates some of that concern and differientates them against their traditional CMS competitors.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Contentstack is helping us move from a homegrown headless CMS to an enterprise level platform. They are helping us go beyond building a web site to creating a modern digital platform that will allow our team to address both business and customer requirements.

"Takes some work to get started but easy to use once it's set up."
What do you like best about Contentstack?

User friendly. Simply select the content model you want and where you want it then fill in the content. Then after you have put all the content models together, you can publish to a sandbox and see how they all look before going live.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

It takes technical know-how to implement and build the different content models. And if there was an error made at the building stage, it will refelect in all subsequent use of that content model. And instead of being able to fix it, you may just have to build a new one from scratch.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing anyone on the team to create a webpage and update it later on. There is no need to put in a ticket and wait to update an existing page since it can be done on the fly.

"Efficient and Easy CMS"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Contentstack has made my merchandising job so much easier and efficient! The asset management and organization in itself is easy to manage and time-saving. It's easy to work with our developers to create entries that can be easily duplicated. I also love having the drag and drop feature to move around blocks and other content. So easy compared to our old, clunky tool!

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Versioning can be hard and confusing when multiple people are working in the tool as well as when we are creating versions for multiple projects. There has been times where we've pushed through pages that are meant to be for a future project by accident but it is easy to go back and quickly push through the correct version. Contentstack is great for controlling what aspects of the site can be updated because most of the things are controlled from what developers allow us to update as merchandisers. I would love to have a bit more control as a merchandiser for some one-off updates. A lot of changes we want have to go through the development process which makes the process longer. Also, I wish there was a better way to organize entries instead of having to search based on tags.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Contentstack allows us to have our site assets and entries all in one place which was exactly what we were looking for! It's easy to create releases for all of our larger holidays and projects.

"Easy and tidy program to use once you get the hang of it!"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

Once you get the hang of it, it's a super intuitive and easy platform to use. There is also a wide range of support and training available to continue growing your capabilities.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

Not as straight forward as some of the other CMS software I have used previously. I also often get the different content types you can use within stacks confused so still plenty to learn here.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

User friendly software that is used across our various different business units means that this platform is fit for purpose by everyone at Trade Me that uses it. I love that fact that anyone anywhere can be in the software at the same time as you and it doesn't effect what you are doing. Additionally, the ability to schedule pages to be published is a game changing feature so many CMS platforms still don't offer.

"It's been a good start"
What do you like best about Contentstack?

I find this platform very useful for configuring and maintaining the content of a web application. I've been using it briefly, but I think it's understandable from the beginning. It also allows the content to be separated according to type, which gives an order; this is good when the website has a lot of content.

What do you dislike about Contentstack?

I have no suggestions for now, I have worked well with the tool.

What problems is Contentstack solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm currently working with a client, whose business is an e-commerce web application, my job is to test the application, from the functional and logical (software development) part to the content that is shown to the users, the content is constantly changing due to special dates, promotions, new articles to read, etc.
