Compare Storyblok with other popular tools in the same category.
I like the fact that it works within my existing website design.
I had to pay my developer $2k to set it up. Primarily redirecting URL's and configuring the website navigation menu to work with Storyblok
Ability to publish my own stories, images and page layout without sending the info via email relying on my web admin to do it for me. This method is faster and allows me to publish more content. This method also allows me to Configure content categories and delete and add when needed.
The most helpful aspect is that it becomes intuitive the more you use it. After a little while, changing things and innovating become second nature. There's nothing like it in the market; being able to go live immediately, is simply a time and money saver.
There's a small learning curve, which is to be expected. It's not daunting; anyone can pick it up and create beautiful things. I think future users would benefit from more tutorials.
Timesaving. Theres unfortunately no room for downtime in my industry, having Storyblok helps me be productive and get things done and published quickly.
The best upside is that marketers can easily use it and learn it. It also saves lots of developer hours due to it's easy to use interface and user friendliness.
Not much to dislike about it. I wish I was able to find some answers easier in the lots of documentation created but otherwise I think it's just a perfect CMS that can be used by any business.
It helps to save time and cover lots of issues when it comes to efficiency in the market due to it's internationalisation, and easy to use and learn features that are out there.
We got the first results within an hour. Our CMS project is way ahead of schedule.
V2 is still a bit unstable, and missing some (very few) features.
Easy to use CMS. Integrates well with react / next.js and building a static site.
Storyblok is an incredible CMS, different than anything else. Combining the headless approach with a live preview. Relatively easy to setup, well written documentation and tutorials. Good UI. Great Image Engine and CDN. Incredibly generous free plan and excellent support.
It would be nice to not get logged out all the time. The editing experience on mobile is not that great.
As a headless CMS I don't ever need to care about security issues in traditional CMSs. No need for hosting and install, just login and start using it. The free plan is very generous and enough for small projects.
Storyblok is software that feels light when I use it. The editor page loads quickly and is comfortable to use. The editor updates in real-time, so you don't have to overthink the design. It is very nice to see the changes at the time as I do the same time as I do the editing. It's easy to group the content and sort it once it's published, so it's simple.
The learning curve is pretty straightforward, but getting a handle on Storyblok perfectly takes longer. I recommend reading the documentation to learn more about it. However, I think it could be more intuitive at this point.
I use Storyblok as the main CMS for several websites I manage. It works very well because it is simple to use, but it does not prevent it from being complete enough to create good projects. The software has been a good solution for a reasonably low cost. I just invested time in learning how to use it, which has given me good results.
The most significant advantage of Storyblok is its ease of use. Itt requires no training because its documentation is extensive, and the software is intuitive. The user interface is a means to exploit his positive feature. Customer support is also an important support to help with any problems that arise.
Storyblok has a few small bugs. Sometimes, I get a blank page when I want to load a template from the program or one that i have set up. These re details that can be fixed with an overhaul.
Since using Storyblok, project development has been much easier. As a result, development time has decreased greatly, but we have not had to sacrifice quality at any point. Newbies use Storyblok to make publications bacause there is little or no web design pr coding knoledge. It's a good optimization of resources.
One of the most valuable features is the visual editor. I can create great content without needing to know much about programming. Storyblok can be used intuitively and is very simple. It is, therefore, easy for anyone to use without any supervision. APIs are versatile and powerful. Developers can explore these features and create custom projects. Storyblok works with a simple and intuitive interface. As a result, a person with little or no knowledge of the subject can use it.
There is no function to find content that has not yet been published. It is a problem when managing and planning, especially if there is more than one person.
I use the program to manage the contents of the web page I am in charge of. It is also the CMS used by the development team for our clients' projects. It has been an answer to only managing the content without having to go through a long training period. The workflow has improved because we don't have to spend so much tie on training.
Storyblok's technical assistance is excellent. Customer support responds quickly and resolves all questions in a matter of minutes. APIs can be very powerful and versatile. As a result, developers are free to explore the APIs and create complex customized projects. Storyblok's community is friendly. Users take the initiative in helping each other solve their problems and contributing to one another's projects. Storyblok is friendly. Users work together to solve questions and help each other with their projects.
The software is a bit limiting. Although it has exciting options for developers, I feel it is too basic. I would like to have the possibility to go deeper on some occasions.
Storybook encourages developers to create their own content rather than having to hire additional staff each time. Because of this, I've been able to run my projects entirely without relying on a content creator. It's great because it gives me a lot of freedom to make everything go as I wanted it to. The result is dynamic and personalized websites for clients.
I love Storyblok, all the content it's easy managed. It's fully customizable, translatable at any degree you need. If you need to change the way you manage the contets of your websites and project this is for you
For me it's a revolution, I still can't find something bad about it. Maybe if you were accustomed to the older UI version you'll be a little overwhelmed with the new IU but it's really a matter of a couple of hour of use to get it!
My websites are going full power thanks to Storyblok! Even the clients can produce all new content without having to deal with anything of the frontend of the website. All it's easy peasy lemon squeezy
The on-page content editing is the best part of this platform.
The pricing of the platforms seems high for startups.
With Storyblok we can build user-friendly CMS. With this, users don't have to panic while adding content, because all the content are displaying live.
Storyblok is intuitive and easy to use for everyone within the organisation
I can't think of any downside as we are extremely happy with Storyblok
It takes only a short time for people to use, so less training time. We are also able to localize our storefront a lot easier.
The schemas are very easy and intuitive to work with. It's like all the good things from wordpress and its available for out of the box in storyblok.
Pretty steep curve to get productive with Storyblok.
Storyblok gives me a good and intuitive cms to offer our customers.
Easy to set up, easy to use. I makes my day to day work much easier than working with other CMS services like wordpress and the like.
It would be sweet to be able to copy an entire language into a new one, like copying the english content to a new danish site with the click of one button for example, like you can in wordpress
Easy to understand ui, makes it easier for me to work
Is a very pleasure to work with the Visual Editor, especially on V2, it lets not-technical users be fully autonomous. At the same time, the platform and the APIs are very powerful and versatile for developers. The new Image Editor is very handy for small images editings needs.
The ecosystem around the product is young and more integrations, especially with e-commerce platforms, are still missing. The migration from other CMS platforms still requires a lot of boilerplate work.
The main goal of Storyblok is clearly to find the best balance between developers' and marketers' use experience, giving them flexibility and a very good UI. For us this means that we can choose the best frontend framework for each project, while we can guarantee to our clients to be able to change contents on their sites without spending every time development hours (and so saving money for more useful work).
Overall, I can say that the biggest advantage of using Storyblok as a CMS is its ease of use. It is intuitie, pleasasnt and efficient. As a result, anyone can use it without generating frustration. The user interface is excellent. It feels right because all the functions seem to be in the right place. The tean behind Storyblok is amazing. It promptly addresses all users queries and is able to solve the most complicated situations.
Storyblok has some monor bugs. However, updates have fixed the bugs bit by bit. The good thing is that customer support has always been able to give us some solution.
Since using Storyblok, the layout and we development wrk have been easier. As a result, investing a lot of time to make a dynamic and attractive website for clients is no longer necessary. We have also been able to delegate some of the worj to our clients, at least those interested in managing their websites. The workflow has greatly improved, and we have increased the number of assignments. Of course, it has meant an increase in work, but the efforts have been the same.
Its visual editor is Storyblok's best feature. It allows me to see the designs made in the editor in real time before even uploading the content to the page. It is a practical and efficient method. The drag-and-drop system changes effortlesslyy. I only need minimal knowledge of web development to create a pretty good project.
Storyblok is a simple program, which is also a disadvantage at ties. Although you can create interesting projects with it, using the same program to fix bugs is complicated. It's not something that happens often, but it becomes a headache when it does.
My team has benefited dramatically since we implmented Storyblok. It takes developers less time to insert the content of the page we create. Also, we manage projects for less time than before, at least the simpler ones. The reason is that clients learn quite easily how to use. Thanks to this, we have taken on new, more complex and better-paid assignments. The result is a considerable increase in revenue.
Eu gosto bastante de como o Storyblok é intuitivo e rápido no cadastro.
Eu acho que a busca podia ter mais filtros, como buscar por pessoas e ter uma marcação de favoritos.
A satisfatação dos dois times que temos hoje ( Desenvolvimento e conteudo). A antiga plataforma da Oracle era engessada e não tinhamos suporte necessário para melhorias e apotamentos, o que acabava desmotivando os times e aumentava o turn over.
Ótimo preço, comparados com os concorrentes no mercado. Documentação ótima e suporte do time muito rápido! Exemplos de integração no GIT para todos os tipos de linguagens atuais do mercado.
Acho que precisa ser melhorado o esquema de acessos para tipos de perfis. Precisa se melhorado opções de exclusão de campos por filtro de selects, exemplo exceção de pastas ou content-types.
Tinhamos uma ferramenta antiga que usavamos que era o Oracle web center sites, uma ferramenta muito lenta e não tinhamos suporte algum, mesmo abrindo tickets, o Storyblok tem total suporte inclusive com a versão V2 ficou muito rápido com a opção do Chat dentro do dashborad, em minutos temos suporte!
Preview mode é um diferencial absurdo! Tudo funciona! Conceito de blocos "Atomic Design" é sensacional.
Precisa melhorar a parte de permissões e detalhar mais as roles. Por exemplo: Criar permissão para excluir apenas os itens que eu criei.
Fácil de usar, sem burocracias, sem limitações para testes, conta free para sempre para construção de POC's.
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
