What do you like best about the product?

Contentstack feels like a win for anyone who wants a straightforward, user-friendly CMS. The interface is very intuitive so pushing content to my sites was a breeze thanks to its headless setup. As a tool I rely on daily, the integration into regular workflows is always smooth. Contentstack handles repetitive tasks with consistency and speed.

One feature I really appreciate is the user group management. I could assign different access levels—like “Content Manager” or “Developer”—right from the dashboard, no fuss. The ability to create custom roles also means I can fine-tune who sees what, down to specific entries or fields, which keeps things organized and secure.

It’s been a time-saver for me and my team to manage our projects.

What do you dislike about the product?

The initial learning curve can be more demanding than anticipated. The basics are simple, but configuring content models requires more adjustments and demanding a learning curve.

The API rate limits are sometimes a headache to the team. During high-demand scenarios, hitting the rate cap poses the occasional technical hurdles that disrupts the workflow.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

First, team coordination. With its user group management, I can assign different roles to different team members, so in terms of structure, we can avoid overlap or confusion.

Second, inflexible content systems and limited scalability. With the setup, I can build and manage web content once and scale it across pages or even new channels without starting over. Also, I don't have to work with rigid templates anymore.
