commercetools Frontend is a great website builder and offers some CMS capabilities. If you are actively using the service, have you integrated an additional CMS? If so, which CMS did you choose? If not, why did you make that decision?
There is a fair amount of overlap between commercetools Frontend and many of the CMS offerings available, so I’m curious how companies are managing that balance.
On our Project we are integrating with Crownpeak, but not directly, using a middleware created by the client.
With this integration we get 2 types of responses, html content for our React application and json response for our Native Apps (In the future we will use json also on the React application).
The main driver was that the client already had a this implemented on the previous version of their ecommerce platform.
Indeed there is an overlap, but the CMS offer a bigger set of features that the ones you can get with Frontastic Studio.

I tried some years ago to integrate Contentful in Studio (still Frontastic at the time), but found it a bit awkward in terms of the overal user experience and it would require some amount of effort to make it work properly.
I don’t think it changed too much since then, it’s just not fluid and comprehensible enough for a normal user, so for me you end by:
If using both, you have higher license costs, higher implementation costs, more complexity to manage, its hard to justify it.
But Studio only need a few improvements and features and then it can be considered a full CMS.
