As a developer, i love working with Sanity as a "Headless" CMS. It's easy to set up and configure, and especially in Sanity Studio v3, it's so much easier to fully customize how the Studio (the CMS admin interface, a self-hosted react app) looks and works. In my opinion, Sanity is the best solution for managing structured content in single source of truth, making it a great foundation to build any digital product on top of. Also the Sanity community is great – really friendly and helpful!

Its pretty good out of the box and the general DX around it is really quite amazing. Until you need to integrate a plugin then its hit and miss. Would love to see better support for internationalization and TypeScript types generation. Also certain common UI elements like tables would be nice to have built in. Despite these drawbacks, I am using this across multiple projects, and I now find that it only takes minutes to setup on a new project.

It's a great product. The documentation and developer relations seemed to be stretched by the constant growth. Seeing older (outdated?) docs/support content archived would be great. Support is offered in many channels, which is great for some. I would prefer fewer options and more effort in the core docs.

It is a CMS tool and stack that works well when it is working but works very poorly when it is not working. I hate how it stores its data. I wish there was some sort of data migration or a tool that makes the cloud data and the local schema data of the studio app either communicate better or not at all. So many times I have been working on creating new schemas and there is some sort of miscommunication and then my consuming app does not have the data it should have. It is a decent tool but I really would not recommend it in certain use cases. Those are non-enterprise projects. Luckily the clients on my teams are large organizations so they can waste the money.

Great platform. The potential of portable text is huge. I love the image "hotspot" option/feature. Simple and easy to customize schema. I would like to see more "official" integration examples.

A very intuitive and easy-to-use headless CMS. Seamless integration with Next.JS and GitHub. Respectable pricing and easy to use resources for schema updates for developer newbs like me.

Seriously I'm switching to contentful, the side panel takes HALF THE SCREEN. I can't write articles properly because the edit bar disappears. Really don't recommend.

We've built several websites on Sanity for our clients. It gives us so much flexibility for the creative side of our projects, that we've decided - this is it.

We considered Contentful, Strapi, and a “just use Notion” approach. Sanity’s real-time editing, structured content model, and developer experience made it the best fit for us long term.
