Netlify CMS is now commonly encountered through its Git-based content workflow, so alternatives should be compared on repository support, editorial preview, pull-request behavior, authentication, media storage, schema widgets, localization, and branch publishing. Test the current configuration and a real nested content entry. Consider whether nontechnical editors can recover from merge conflicts and whether previews match production. Review project governance, security updates, hosting independence, and migration of identity or authentication. Preserve Git history and keep the existing build usable during transition.
