Directus Reviews & Product Details

Easy to use yet extensible, simple UI but robust features/abilities, and quick implementation!

There have been significant strides in the developer documentation and experience, but there is still room for growth!

Directus is powering multiple websites and apps, from a simple website CMS to a complex membership system, to a directory for identity accounts, etc.

Core developers keep on improving and adding features based on the community inputs.

1. Migration between different environments is more complicated. 2. Sort by relational field is a missing feature, might not be required by all.

1. Directus helped us in creating API in few clicks. 2. Even trainees in our team can develop API with it. 3. Directus in-built admin panel helps to track the data changes effectively with revisions and activity log for each entry. 4. Directus panel is extensible in every way, with no limits.

Powerful tool offering a lot of flexibility. The back office is very intuitive. It is possible to do many things with Directus. The tool can be used in open source and very customizable

Nothing displeases us in Directus. The axis of improvement can be oriented for the use that e-merchants can have with the tool. For us is the best Headless Content Managment System

Directus allowed us to develop websites using our favorite framework: next.js. The content is dirved by API and we can make a lot of integrations with another tools

Easy to use, reliable and endless possibilities of customization

Nothing, we have been using Directus for the last 16 months and we are having a great experience

Directus acts as both a headless CMS and data platform, so it solves 2 problems at the same time: exposing and retaining our data

Flexibility and great user experience and ease of creating relational databases

It is too easy to create unefficient models. Flexibility comes with that downside...

Easily creating data models and content management

API that gives REST and GraphQL. Built-in Frontend that works as Admin UI as well as Product App. Very Highly Extensible. 90% configuration and only 10% code. Increases velocity and lets the team focus on business logic. Bring your own brand customization.

Documentation is appalling but open source helps reverse engineer that. Things like multi-project, multi-database, WebSockets, GraphQL subscriptions are missing. Some minor lack of configuration on the front end platform

Mainly it gives us a ready-built CRUD API with an admin UI. The additional benefit is the front end that can be extended and configured. These two things increases velocity of new products that I built.

It all started with the ease of "just quickly set up a project" for small projects or internal data. In a short time, we discovered that so much more was possible! We can actually replace a lot of our Laravel/Nova projects without writing additional extensions. If we do need to write custom logic then that is also super easy to do! Since the last update, Directus has workflow support which has opened up a whole new world for us and we now have to write even less custom logic

There's nothing I don't really like about Directus. If something could improve this even further it would be support for multiple roles per user and maybe a sort of ou-of-the-box tenancy support but that would be very custom to our use cases.

We have a lot of small Laravel installations with Nova, which is not that innovative for our customers. Also, all that data needed custom-written API endpoints. Directus allows us to model data quickly and have instant API endpoints that we can use in our applications. Simple projects and simple APIs written with Laravel/nova still need a lot of maintenance with every update, while in Directus we use the application without any custom code and it can be updated by simply running 'npm update'

Directus is a flexible, easy-to-use product that has everything to fuel projects of any type and complexity.

Some features are missing. But the road map is rich and we look forward for future developments.

Content management, roles and permission. A platform to manage all our needs in one place.

Directus has been very responsive throughout our engagement and was very accomodating to get us set up and going on an enterprise instance quickly. The product itself has met or exceeded our expectations.

I've yet to run into any issues with the product or the team!

We use Directus as a backend to a corporate blog that we need to be highly configurable and API-driven. It allows us to build the way we like, and not worry about software/package maintenance.

The more flexible tool I've ever tried. I used other Headless CMS, and I can say Directus is the only one that takes content management to another level. Extremely friendly and modern for the users and with the database mirroring and the different ways make the information accessible, it is the most potent tool for any development approach.

I don't dislike anything, but I could say the latest version is very new, still in progress for a stable release, and it is possible to find some minor issues. I've been looking at the project, and they are working hard to have a stable version in late 2021. The documentation is good, but maybe it would be good to have more practical cases.

New projects require having APIs, and make them from scratch is very time-consuming. Directus allows to save all that time and focus on the clients' needs and having by default an excellent and modern content management tool. The database mirroring is outstanding, and we migrated in minutes very complex database models.
