I love how easy it is to define data structures and the fact that it has all the types you could ever want. I've used WordPress as a headless CMS before learning about Storyblok and just to enable the API it was a mess. The Storyblok API is really easy to work with. Clients love how easy it is to use the editor and we can create some really complex setups for them.
When I first started working with it, every time I made a change to a piece of content it wasn't updating instantly in the API but this seems to be resolved with V2.
We use Storyblok for almost all new projects. It's great both for us developers as we can get a model setup in no time and for the clients as they get to edit their content in a clean UI with full flexibility.
Fast and simple CMS. Good translation features with export/import as json. Fast live preview of all content changes. Good API documentation for custom integrations.
All Storybloks good features and performance comes with a cost! It can be expensive for a smaller company, but it's nothing compared to the time you would have spent on a worse and slower cms. Custom add-ons also cost development hours for a non-technical person.
How many have spent too much time in a content management system? With this fast and simple CMS, there is nothing that can stop you. With 7 languages on a website, there is nothing other than field translation that facilitates my work. Combine field translation with import/export of the translations and you get more time for other important work stuff than spending time in the CMS. No third-party plugins makes bad security.
I found the visual editor and the overall UI/UX super easy to navigate and work with to populate content into the CMS compared to a lot of other offerings on the market.
My only dislike is, that some of the resources like the next.js starters or the video tutorials are out of date. All the resources need to be regularly updated.
I come from a WordPress background, where I have to worry about security updates, hosting etc. Storyblok takes care of all of that so I can just focus on developing a front-end.
Easy Integration and the Visual Editor. ..
No pricing mod for small companys who wants premium Features.
It gives us ine of the best visual Editors.
The flexibility of the components and the reactivity of the whole interface is very practical
The features can be complex sometimes for early users or final customer.
The need to have custom field for every type of content associated to a complex e-commerce product page.
The thing I like best about Storyblok is without a doubt its visual editor. Not only has it been revamped and re-imagined in V2, but it's intuitive and content-editor friendly. It's the "drag & drop" experience we've all been waiting for. And to top it off, they have an amazing community to boot.
The only thing I dislike about Storyblok is when compared to CMS's like Contentful, it isn't as "battle-tested" as one would say. In turn, it is prone to some hard-to-debug issues (even with the visual editor) with not as many resources to help you get unblocked. The app store/marketplace is also lacking but the same can be said for a variety of CMS's out there.
For my agency, we're looking to build enriching experiences for our clients that not only let them to make compelling visual content but empower them to do so at ease.
Storybloks Visual Editor is a game changer for Marketeers while developers enjoy the power and flexibility of the headless approach. You see in every bit of the product that the product team behind Storyblok understands what's important for a new generation CMS.
Having a lively ecosystem around your product is important. Storyblok is a young product and the ecosystem is growing fast but it is not yet where others are in terms of ootb connections to other tools and services.
The easy to use and is intuitive UI of Storyblok make customers of us work fluently with the CMs while many of them hired an agency to put their Content in the CMs before they moved to Storyblok. Our development team enjoys the power of flexibility. No fixed templating language built in like for traditional CMS. Storyblok plays well with any modern Frontend technology.
This software makes it easy to manage website content. People with little development experience can use Storyblok to manage their websites. As a front-end developer, I think it is an excellent program. It is well designed to make inserting new content extremely simple. From the side of my clients, I must say that they like the interface. I like this because I don't have to help them just get used to it.
At startup, Storyblik does not load the user editors. However, this is solved by teaching them what your working tools are. Anyway, it's a minor feature that does not affect the performance or user experience.
I use Storyblok to develop and manage the most simple projects under my care. The Real-Time Visual Editor feature helps me to preview and improve the design as I write the code. It is a perfect program for scaling up old websites that are already published and need updating. Generally, it is perfect for any type of project and standardizes the work methodology. The development times of this kind of projects have decreased significantly.
The ease of development with Storyblok is incredible. The real-time editor is really helpful. I can easily see the changes I make to the code without compiling it. It is an exciting feature of the new work approach. The existence of plugins extends the program beyond what I would have expected. But, best of all is the ability to create and install my own plugins.
I have not had any dislike of Storyblok. Like any CMS, it has a learning curve, but the reality is that it is effortless in this case. So, new users can adopt it at any time.
As a programmer, I like anything that makes my job as easy as possible. As a result, projects are developed very quickly and comfortably from the start. I have been able to develop simple client jobs in much less time. In addition to shortening my programming periods, I have been able to take on new projects and improve the company's profit margins. Creating this work methodology has been one of the most significant improvements in our company.
Storyblok is instant Wysiwyg while typing. Work with multiple people in so-called releases or use them by yourself for future releases.
Personally, I would use more distinctive colors or symbols to have a better overview of the status of the pages.
As a webmaster I need to find and add/adjust lots of files as quick as possible. Because of Storybloks clear overview and speed I can do just that!
