The Sitecore sales process was very very slow and overly complex. We felt Sitecore had many features that were not valuable and the cost-to-benefit ratio was much lower compared to Contentstack.

We’re confident that our decision to make the switch to Contentstack from Sitecore is the right move. Contentstack’s headless CMS will allow us to simplify content publishing, reduce development overhead, and optimize content merchandising, in addition to realizing increased ROI.


I have worked with content in other systems such as Adobe, Kentico, Sitecore, and more. It was pretty painful. To think that my team is managing all the content without needing technical skills whatsoever is astonishing.

There’s no doubt that we can manage our systems better.

Creating content is quicker and easier with Contentstack. It’s a user-friendly tool making training and onboarding simpler. The integration with our translation and media systems means content can be created and published much quicker than before.

I don't have to depend on the developers to do everything. I can go in and make the changes instead of them having to do all the work.

We don’t have to worry because we already have a solution that doesn't need to be retrofitted to work for new platforms.

We are thrilled that we chose Contentstack! It’s helped us increase publishing quality content to build our brand. Publishing happens in an instant without a developer’s help.
