Sanity Reviews & Product Details

So, I have been using Sanity and is a nice Headless CMS, which allows me use the same text content both for my website as well as for my android app. The dashboard is flexible and thus can be customized as per the need. The best part is me along my team can work on a single project at the same time which makes the workflow smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, I don't think Sanity is suitable for everyone. When I compare Sanity to Wordpress, since both platforms share some similarities, I find that Sanity is less user-friendly. You really need to be a developer with coding experience to set it up properly. Unlike Wordpress, there are no ready-made themes available for website design, so I had to create the design myself, which ended up taking more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the search functionality where the images are stored is not great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Sanity Studio is customizable, the real-time collaboration feels like Google Docs for content, and the GROQ query language makes pulling content easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be a bit steep at first, especially for non-developers. Setting up schemas and mastering GROQ queries takes time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Sanity is the complete control it gives developers. The ability to define content schemas as code and build a fully customized editing experience with React is a game-changer. The developer experience is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve can be steep, especially for developers new to the headless CMS space. You need a good grasp of JavaScript and React to get the most out of the Studio customization, which can be a barrier for some teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sanity is flexible and intuitive. It is the great content management system and feels like kore creative workspace where you have the ability to shape your content as per your requirement. It has the great feature of separate content from design which you can reuse the same information across different platforms without redoing anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sanity set up requires some technical knowledge particularly in customizing the schema and integration with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that Sanity is built with React and sits nicely alongside our Next.js app. It’s fast, developer-friendly, and incredibly customizable. The Studio gives you full control over how you manage and structure content, which is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That said, the flexibility can be a double-edged sword. Starting from a blank slate means there’s a fair amount of initial setup before your Studio is fully functional. They do offer starter templates, which help, but it would be nice to have a more opinionated base with core features out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Sanity as the content backend for HackDB.com, a directory of offensive security resources. After evaluating several headless CMS options, Sanity stood out for its developer-first experience, flexible schema definitions, and powerful GROQ querying.

Sanity made it easy to structure HackDB’s content, categories, tags, and AI-enriched metadata. The studio is fast, customizable, and intuitive for both developers making changes and editors using it frequently.

Highly recommended for anyone building dynamic content-driven apps where flexibility and performance matter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deleting documents in Sanity isn’t always straightforward. When I needed to bulk-delete certain records, there wasn’t a built-in way to do it from the Studio. I had to write a custom script using the Sanity client and GROQ to handle the deletions manually. It works, but for occasional tasks like this, it would be nice if the Studio supported easier multi-select or admin actions for document cleanup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy for a developer to understand. Most things can be done using the built-in data models or integrations meaning it only rarely requires custom coding. The fact that if you do want to do something custom you can is nice as well. I have implemented Sanity for several companies/projects now and if you do the data modeling work well then its excellent.

Because of its developer focus it can lead to over-engineering at the cost of the content creators experience. Further the data modeling REQUIRES coding so this is not a no/low code tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It acts as a backend database for my project and really helps me a lot. To hook it up with any regular project is really easy and with a few simple concise lines of schema, you make yourself a mighty CMS (Content Management System). Where updating and managing the content is really easy.

I used it in my portfolio: https://reddymahendra52.netlify.app/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Regularly I am using Sanity to update the content on my site, I don't know if what I telling is even some hindrance or if there is some way around I don't get to update the content of my site directly from the main Sanity website. I always have to open my dev server and update the content. Other than this I love Sanity.

NOTE: ( In the latest upgrades this issue has been fixed, leaving the old one to know what was the difference between previous and new ones) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
