Sanity vs IBM ECM: What are the differences?
Sanity: A headless CMS construction kit in JavaScript. Sanity is a headless, real-time CMS where the editor is an open source React-based construction kit and the backend is a graph-oriented cloud datastore with a globally distributed CDN; IBM ECM: Access, analyze and act on business content. It enables an organization to take full advantage of the customer information and company knowledge embedded in its content. ECM solutions capture, store, activate, analyze and automate business content, providing new value from data that was previously unstructured and unavailable.
Sanity and IBM ECM can be primarily classified as "Cloud Content Management System" tools.
Some of the features offered by Sanity are:
- Open source editing environment
- Hosted & scalable APIs
- Rich, precise data model
On the other hand, IBM ECM provides the following key features:
- Content management
- Document capture and imaging
- Workflow and case management
Sanity is an open source tool with 1.82K GitHub stars and 161 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Sanity's open source repository on GitHub.
Hi Community, Would like to ask for advice from people familiar with those tools. We are a small self-funded startup and initial cost for us is very important at that stage. That's why we are leaning towards Sanity. The CMS will be used to power our website and flutter cross-platform mobile applications.
Former Prismic.io developer here. If you want something robust vs "looks good from a distance," I would recommend Contentful. They are the biggest for a reason. Their CMS handles a lot of use cases and has great documentation. Prismic.io will work well in simple blog-esque use cases. Their more complex features break easily and their documentation is confusing. It has fallen quite a distance behind Contentful. Sanity appears to be a much newer CMS and you might come to regret the lack of features, but I've only briefly reviewed their product.
