Senior Project Manager at Honeywell

Flexible content workflows have transformed how our team updates seasonal messaging in real time

Overall, we have used Contentstack to great effect as our headless CMS. We have it connected to our custom UI, and it allows us to update basically in real time with updates reflecting on the site within seconds. The best features Contentstack offers are extremely flexible to our needs, meets all our use cases, easy to use, and the UI is very intuitive. It is easy for the whole team to manage content, and support is helpful and responsive. The flexibility and intuitive UI of Contentstack help meet all our use cases in our organization. The UI is very intuitive and user-friendly, making it very easy to use, even for new users who find it very easy to navigate. Additionally, Contentstack has continuous product improvement and enables us to build and architect content through the use of their easy-to-use software and user interface. Contentstack has positively impacted our organization by saving time deploying content and allowing our team members to manage content, thereby getting time to market faster. Precisely, we have been able to save 30 to 45 percent of our time. Also, having a rich partner network has improved the speed to adopt new functionality. The administration application is very user-friendly and does not require a lot of ramp-up for users, which has also decreased the time it takes to get content deployed.

Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys

One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The ease of use, which I mentioned as the best part, is especially highlighted by the clean UI and predictable UX of Contentstack, as there is not too much information on the screen at the same time that can confuse the users."

"The best feature Contentstack offers is that it is easy to use."

"Contentstack has impacted my organization positively by helping us to deliver an application with a very good quality in terms of how it looks and feels."

"Contentstack has created an impact of quick access to a non-tech person to add the properties right away and to work on their own personalized marketing campaigns and other aspects."

"Overall, we are really happy with Contentstack as it has made our content work faster, easier, and more organized."

"Contentstack has positively impacted my organization because we can work with massive product SKUs, and we can now quickly use or reuse components, add products, and do bulk updates."

"Contentstack has positively impacted our organization, as tracking changes made by our very large team is difficult, so we are using Contentstack to update data in real-time."

"The speed index has had a great impact; earlier we had something in the 60s on Google Page Insights, but now we are able to achieve 90-plus."

Cons

"We are more worried about the pricing. For example, somebody who is a tech person trying to integrate based on the events finds it a little bit more not so accessible."

"While Contentstack has great features, it is a bit expensive, and there is a learning curve involved for complex content models."

"The API, specifically the Content Delivery API, can be a bit tricky sometimes."

"I noticed that sometimes it takes time, and I am not sure about the server side, as it may not be responding."

"Contentstack is much more complex and advanced technology. I think there are still some UI improvements which can be done to simplify the work."

"It is good, but not great. For something like eighty percent of my set of tasks, I can scale based on the background we have with Contentstack."

"I think Contentstack can be improved with a more appealing user design because it seems too bland."

"For improvement, I want to clear the cache for the pages, as Contentstack does not provide a default way of invalidating the cache."

"There are times when the data does not load and you have to keep hitting refresh. More colors and different layouts should be included in the next release."

"inContact should offer a way to send faxes."

"However, as far as the authoring experience goes, it is really bad, and it would be very cost-prohibitive to have the number of licenses needed to smooth out and make the authoring processes more efficient."

"MindTouch would greatly benefit by providing a GitHub pull request functionality to foster draft mode and open contribution writing."

"One of the biggest missing pieces is a link checker."

"The development tools in NICE CXone could be better, as there are some pain points."

"I have noticed that occasionally the dashboard will freeze and some things may get stuck for a while. For example, if I have a dashboard open that shows how many calls are in queue and how many are currently being handled by agents, sometimes a call that an agent is handling will get stuck on the dashboard after the agent ends the call and the dashboard will show that the call is still a live call. Our tech team has explained this to us as a ghost call. After some time (or maybe many screen refreshes) the call will go away like it has just ended."

"We experienced a significant outage when someone at NICE CXone brought our system down."
