Sanity Reviews

What do you like best about Sanity?I like the simplicity of the UI but the power of configuring it precisely with versioned files. I like its built-in images CDN with its unique focus-crop feature. But also, it's one of the very few CMS that has a built-in responsive Web UI! And it's now a close partner of Vercel's Next.js, which makes it a great choice for a Next.js headless CMS.What do you dislike about Sanity?There isn't much that I don't like about it!What problems is Sanity solving and how is that benefiting you?I needed a tailor-made CMS without having to code, deploy and maintain a full Web app. This UI needed to be responsive, fast yet customizable. Also, we needed an imaging system allowing us to resize/crop with a nice UI and a cheap CDN.

What do you like best about Sanity?Sanity is easily the most structured, flexible, and well-documented content model out there. Workflows are streamlined while keeping updates under control, and the customizable React-based Studio makes it perfect for modern stacks like Vercel. Recently, the introduction of Sanity AI Assist has been a massive upgrade. Unlike bolted-on AI, it is schema-aware and runs directly inside the Studio as a set of field-aware helpers. It can rewrite blocks, summarize text, or translate localized fields while perfectly respecting the content's structure. Additionally, the Presentation tool with click-to-edit visual previews has made the editorial experience significantly smoother for non-technical team members.What do you dislike about Sanity?Sanity is incredibly powerful but still has a steep learning curve if you are unfamiliar with GROQ or GraphQL. Pricing can also become a concern for heavy usage, high API volumes, or larger teams. Once it's set up, it's amazing, but the initial configuration requires significant developer effort compared to traditional, out-of-the-box CMS solutions. For instance, wiring up live visual previews to the front-end or building custom workflow states still requires custom coding rather than simple no-code toggles.What problems is Sanity solving and how is that benefiting you?Sanity solves the problem of having unflexible CMS structures by providing a fully customizable, API-first approach to content management. On my team I've seen improved collaboration, faster development times and it has helped us build more dynamic, scalable solutions while improving efficiency across teams. Unmatched Structured Content.

What do you like best about Sanity?Unquestionably the best SaaS product in our stack. Continues to get better.What do you dislike about Sanity?One nitpick - I really don't like the way they've split the way to access studios (e.g. the main dashboard) and the way to manage projects and organizations (/manage). It seems like they've made a deliberate design choice to make the latter harder to access / less intuitive to find. The project / org management tools are still quite necessary, and so the result is unnecessary clicks / confusion. Other than that, nothing of note.What problems is Sanity solving and how is that benefiting you?The ability to define content architecture in code saves me a considerable amount of time. A clean and refined editorial experience also reduces the training and support that we have to do.

They have been pushing new innovations on top of that that could interest new users.What do you dislike about Sanity?Continue to reduce dependencies on the library, but overall this has been the case.What problems is Sanity solving and how is that benefiting you?Sanity solves our content data build approach. We no longer worry about the mechanics of building UI for a CMS, we now are able to focus on frontend of the experience with the content being well-formed for our usage.
