Compare Storyblok with other popular tools in the same category.
Copying and pasting single components from one page to another - works very easily.
There are exciting features which are not available by default. It's unclear which features can be used from scratch.
Storyblok helps me to have a secure platform, independent of software updates, etc. with no disadvantages. Although it's headless (the data are sent via .json files per API), it feels like a "normal CMS" with a lot of features for the marketers. So we can use a state-of-the-art technology, have unlimited possibilities to use the created content on several challenges and have a Marketing team which like to work in that CMS.
The visual editor and the simple integration with my favourite frontend framework for static site generation Nuxt.js.
It took me a bit at first to get a round the concepts of bloks and stories although when you have understood it, it's rather easy and streamlined.
It provides a handy tool where I don't have to change code all the time to add new content to a page (like my blog) and benefits web performance in contrast to other CMS systems like Wordpress.
the way in which storyblok meets the needs of the user, a user-friendly system with all the necessities to provide your website with content. In addition, the documentation to make the link to your website is of a very high level and therefore the implementation is very simple
the only downside for me at the moment is that my environment is not much developers use it yet, that story block still have to grow within the developer culture
storyblok helpt mij bij het vertalen van de gehele website op een makkelijke manier. als developer kan je nu de klant hun webiste laten vullen. This means that de workload is much less
Friendly interface and developer apis to get data.
The preview experience could improve, because sometimes we had to refresh the page to see the changes.
We want marketing in control of some areas of our website (and design), so we developed it using CMS data, including the positions where buttons etc will appear.
The visual editor and variety of blocks.
More titles for sections within the page.
Hosting multiple pages with easy to use visual editor tools makes it easy to preview and publish throughout the day.
As a web agency, we were used to developing websites using WordPress or traditional CMS. Storyblok has completely revolutionized the work of our dev teams (who can individually choose the frontend code) and our customer's activities (who have total power to manage content now and in the future).
It would be nice to have Italian support. Every team member is always available but sometimes native language assistance helps manage difficulties in a more effective way.
Year after year, our customers ask us to update their websites; sometimes small adjustments, other times complete redesign. The possibility of maintaining, thanks to Storyblock, the setup/storage of the contents by updating only the frontend part allows us to save enormous time on the agency and client side.
The fact you can embed content inside content, unlocking the ability to create complex page structures all using an intuitive visual editor is a game changer for how we build sites.
I have nearly no complaints about Storyblok except perhaps there is no visual editor for react native yet but I understand the technical complexities of doing that.
It empowers our content editors to quickly create complex and engaging user experiences by dropping in components, selecting assets and updating copy all from easy to use visual editor.
At Storyblok they understand how a component system should work. It's super flexible and I haven't seen a situation that wasn't possible in Storyblok. Many CMS platforms are made over complex to handle all kinds of content situations. With the component system, this isn't necessary wich keeps Storyblok clean and easy to understand. The whole platform is super responsive, no blocking delays or slow UI elements. The API is complete and supplies any data you need from the platform. Storyblok has a lot of unexpected features like caching, image service. With Storyblok our developers can focus on the development of the project and don't have to worry about any other issues regarding the CMS.
It's a mindset switch most people coming from a typical traditional CMS like Drupal, WordPress, Craft or even an Adobe AEM. You no longer think of fixed pages or specific content types. You need to think of LEGO blocks and flexible components that can be combined in any kind of situation. A downside for smaller users, you need to take care of your presentation layer to render the UI front-end. You will not get a complete stack on the platform. This is a SaaS CMS, this is not a full A to Z cloud-hosted CMS with front-end, themes, etc.
Our development time is reduced and we no longer have to take care of CMS hosting and maintenance. We no longer have to supply SLA's for security patches or upgrades.
Visual Editor from a headless CMS, great integration into whatever frameworks or languages you want to use.
Custom fields are on an old version of Vue, so can't use all the new V3 features
Adding a visual editor to see your true product and way more powerful/flexible than Markdown content.
The visual editor is very powerful for end users. Also great support and documentation. Agency friendly
So far nothing. The gatsby integration is missing some minor things (i.e gatsby images latest plugin).
It's very easy to stay organized with the block library and component first approach
