Storyblok Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

With the Visual Editor, I can immediately see my changes live, which is fun. The components of a page can be moved with ease. The individualization of each component is especially great.

At the moment I haven't found a way to lock components. I want to populate a component with content and then use it more often. Currently I do this by copying, which is a bit tedious.

The headless cms can be easily connected to javascript frameworks using ready-made code examples. Furthermore, the live view in the visual editor is very helpful, because you can immediately see the changes.

Having all projects managed from one place is so easy now with Storyblok. You can easily use Storyblok for all platforms that you need (web: vue, angular ... mobile) in a very easy way. Getting data is so easy.

Once when you start to use Storyblok it’s easy and fast. In my opinion, pricing is probably expensive for the start but in comparison to others, it's still cheaper. But once when you start using it you can check partner benefits and becoming a partner is probably the best option.

Storyblok solves problems with API Content Delivery. Hosting Images on CDN is also one great benefit. Also preview of your work in StoryBlok works great and you can realtime check your work.

Ease to use and performance is great. Especially that there is a visual editor makes integrated and using the platform easy for non-technical users. Feature set is very complete and the API first approach allows easy customisation and adding of functionality. It's also great to have a growing network of partners, that can help with integration - so that it is possible to really focus on UI/UX and be assured that backend/performance/process are just doing what they should do.

They are not as well known as wordpress or other older systems, so there are still less people familiar with their system.

Very performant and clean site, complete separation frontend / backend, flexibility to change UI/UX but have a scalable system in the backend, product that non-technical editors and writers can work with.

Our customers love the CMS and we love the backend. The CMS is clean, well-designed and intuitive and gives the user a real-time preview of the implemented content. From the backend perspective, it is great that existing components are reusable and easy to duplicate and move between various pages. Overall it is easy to navigate and easy to get used to.

The pricing model could be updated. A lot of our clients are used to a free-of-charge CMS like Wordpress and sometimes it is hard to explain, why not all are free. However, when stating the benefits, most of them convert and never look back.

Obviously creating beautiful, snappy websites that are easy to use for the developer, the customer and the end-user. The main benefit is the customizable CMS and the overall speed performance.

What sets Storyblok apart from anything out there, is the ability to have a true data hierarchy, most headless content management systems lack this ability giving you data in a flat data structure. Not everyone is running a simple blog and Storyblok understands that, so they provide us with the ability to structure our stories in the way we want which is extremely powerful.

I think that Storyblok could benefit from having tooling to manage stories across spaces, we have several spaces which correspond to different environments within our infrastructure and moving stories from one space to another as well as getting components copied over is a manual task via MAPI.

Storyblok allows us to quickly push our marketing landers without the need for developer interaction, so our developers can focus on making new components while content managers focus on creating stories.

The side-by-side Preview within the CMS is awesome and unique in the HeadlessCMS space yet - and the UI is nice and clean. The flexibility to configure and build my content-bloks directly in the CMS allows me, and most importantly my design/pm colleagues, to build almost anything.

Depending on the Framework you are using, the setup isn't that self-explanatory or documented well. I'm still struggling with getting the Preview-Mode in Next.js to work. If you add a link field within a blok, you need to add a separate field for the link-target to set with. Additionally, the links delivered within the Content-Delivery-API are quite hard to use as you need to use the property "cached_link" (the other property is always empty) and be sure to add a slash at the beginning (sometimes) when using as relative links.

No more patching, manually updating and hosting of a CMS-Software. A lot of work can already be done by non-development people, by building the Elements (bloks) directly in the CMS. Flexibility to use with whatever Framework/Technology I want to

Storyblok brings modularity, easy-to-use admin UI and clean API (rest/graphql). Storyblok stands out from the rest of the products with its page preview feature. As you change your content, you see rendered page preview instantly. I also enjoy how easy it's to add localizations and consume that content via API. Another strong point is the ability to extend admin UI by adding your custom plugins/field types.

Storyblok being a SAAS product, your content is stored in the cloud. It might be tricky to maintain a full backup of your content. Pricing might also grow if you want all the features and have lots of CMS users.

We saved development time which would be required if we wrote a content management system from scratch. Adding fields, changing structure is effortless compared to other solutions where you need to manage database migrations.

The integrated visual editor that makes content editing very easy.

The richtext editor is partially improvable.

You can easily and flexibly implement your own ideas about how a website can be edited.

The simplicity, I have no coding knowledge or developer skills and yet I find Storyblok so easy to use and well laid out. As a lay person I can find exactly what I'm looking for with ease, the search features, the drag and drop functionality - it all makes for a great fuss-free experience. I also love that I'm able to make changes that I can see on-page in real time, and save these changes, before publishing them in one smooth update once I've finished. The fact that i can copy and paste blocks and duplicate them too - fantastically easy!

I have struggled to move assets into folders once I have uploaded them. If i am uploading new assets I can choose a folder, but cannot seem to do this retrospectively.

Storyblok has improved the security of our headless website compared to the Wordpress CMS we used to use which constantly required updates. Our website is very new so I have no documented performance analytics just yet but i have noticed its already driving lots of enquiries and capturing lots of customer info in our forms.

I like storyblok because it's just great.Storyblok is very user friendly and a very reliable software.It helps me to build pages with just a few clicks which I find easy to perform. I can also customise every component according to my needs.

I have nothing to dislike about storyblok because it really satisfies all my needs.All relevant information has been put in one place.

As a developer,storyblok provides us with all the flexible we need to build reliable and fast websites.Storyblok has also helped us to deliver great experiences.

The cloud-based solution has a lot of potential for delivering outstanding and powerful content experiences across numerous channels, and it's really simple software to get started with.

It can be difficult to get started with Storyblok.

Storyblok makes publishing content very easy.

The huge variety of template designs and additional community supported features. The mix of visual editing and HTML editing does not present a steep learning curve

The website is optimized to display on desktops as well as mobile devices but it is worked differently for each. You have to edit the mobile version differently to display the way it should

It is a simple matter to set up a website in minutes that is professional-looking without having to learn programming. The whole process of customizing our website is simple and we do it at any time using Storyblok

I think the time and developer experience for setting a project from scratch with Storyblok and Next.js is lightning. Having built my entire portfolio with Next.js, Layer0 and Storyblok (https://rishi.app/), I know I chose the right CMS Provider 😄

I think what Storyblok can improve upon is adding next, previous functionality to their GraphQL queries, but other than that all awesome.

I think the benefit is instant publishing, unpublishing. As a tech writer, I feel that Storyblok has achieved this feat of at least getting people like me started instantly.

Storyblok is fast and powerful. It feels super responsive and snappy, you can build any imaginable content. It's quick and easy to setup if you're a developer or have access to developers

The downside is, if you don't have a team of developers it might cost you to hire a development agency

Storyblok allows for storing content, creating templates, and building web pages. With Storyblok, we are now outputting data as an API

The granular permissions structure provides a naturally working productive environment. The easy-to-use backend allows non-technical users and content creators to focus solely on their tasks

Accessing rendered pages through a proxy is something we are hopeful Storyblok will be able to provide to its users as sokn as possible. This functionality is important to us

It isn't a big deal to recreate pages. We did an information architecture facelift for our website. So far we have been able to launch campaigns with a fairly small team

Customizable UX gives me the ability to easiky create contentof all forms. I can choose and add fields to customizable content types. Safeguard content with roles and permissions tools

Some adaptation pains are involved and you may do some newbie from time to time. Its not totally painless but I have never really got stuck but it also depends with your dev skills

The modular approach really allows us to manage content once instead of repeating ourselves across languages and platforms. Website content updates turnaround is fast

Super simple to use, organize, design, and adjust to create excellent web content throughout all of our active markets. Storyblok makes it super efficient to keep track of our different products, content, and SEO in various languages and markets and update them in no time.

Well, from my side as a designer I dislike that we as a company might be restricted to our own front enders not always having the time to create new templates for us to use. Even more out of the box solutions for easier and faster iterations would be a big plus.

Increasing the speed at which we can operate. As long as we have a design, we just need to translate it into different languages and can then be live with it within minutes rather than weeks.

The block-based system approach allows us to create individual pages with a few different modules.

I have not been able to find that out until now.

We were able to implement a site with multiple locations in multiple languages. Duplicate content is maintained only once and displayed dan the desired areas. This is a massive advantage in time-saving and possibilities we didn't have before.

The strict separation of content and presentation elements opened the possibility of using Angular JS framework for mashing content up in innovative ways

Different pages and content of websites are managed in Storyblok and it can be confusing to locate or retrieve a specific page if someone is not focused

Today, we launch a site in a third of the time it used to take and we can afford to add interactive features quickly and come up with designs that have a interactive personality

Storyblok initially caught the eye of the team with its clean user interface. Ability to cache and store offline app content It's a secure cloud-based content creation platform

More secure log is needed to record all events in detail because the team sometimes is required to edit the content in a short amount of time

Great static website performance with fast load times which also means out-of-the-box safety against attacks

The flexibility and fast editing. Creating designs is fun once you understand the basics and the logistics behind the processes.

Sometimes there might a small bug, but nothing that could not be fixed by our developer.

I have been creating 4 websites now with Storyblok and with each website it gets more fun and easier.

Once you get the hang of using it, it's straightforward to use. I like how you can customize the blocks however you choose and that you also don't need to crop the photos yourself; it's automatically cropped by the program.

I am a marketeer who only uses the product, and I don't code the components, but from my perspective, there is nothing that needs improvement. I understand that there is a lot of flexibility with creating components which is fantastic.

Storyblok enables us to allow content editors in our marketing team to quickly and easily make changes to our websites. If we didn't use Storyblok or a similar product, we would need engineers to make even simple changes, which of course, saves us time and resources.

I think that one of the best features of Storyblok is the ability to alter content without going through a deployment procedure. Storyblok gives me more control over content, allowing me to take charge rather than software bottlenecking my demands.

Improving the documentation for Storyblok is one of my needs. More detailed examples of use cases would help in using the software.

Storyblok's content management system is well-organized. I now have complete control over managing content.

Storyblok is our website's back end, where we make changes, upgrades, and updates to our material. Storyblokkeeps track of everything, from photo updates to written material. If you need to undo any changes, for example, you can choose which version to go back to and publish.

I'm missing the feature to draft content before publishing.

I've used other online CMS services to modify content, but none of them are as user-friendly as Storyblok,

The live preview feature of Storyblok is a huge win for any web developer and website content editor. UI is very intuitive and the setup process offers a great experience for the developers.

Nothing at all. I was working with Storyblok a lot and encountered zero problems. Also, their customer support is always ready to help if needed and that's great.

My company develop JAMstack websites and Storyblok is simply the best solution today that we worked with. Live previews, price plans, and the general quality of the CMS are beyond impressive.

Really easy to pick up, user can edit with a live preview. Easy to create new components and fields

The documentation is okay but could be better

Moving from WordPress to headless CMS - wanted to find an alternative that would work nicely with vue

Easy to learn and use CMS, with an intuitive UI. A big plus is that you can reuse your well-structured content. Supports multiple integrations with a variety of APIs, including GraphQL.

Documentation is not equally detailed. For example, the REST API is not as straightforward as GraphQL. I would love to have equal quality of documentation for all features.

Storyblok helps me to manage my CMS needs entirely and don't have to rely on other solutions and services. Prices are also reasonable, including community licenses for developers.

Storyblok stands out by being easy to use. Whether a developer, a writer, or a marketeer, you will enjoy a simple yet efficient UX. Since we are evaluating a headless cms connectivity to the front-end should be one of your concerns. There again, things run smooth regardless of the front-end, thanks to good plugins.

Some, like me, might be missing a little more flexibility to create models, but there is enough in the app to make it work out of the box for most use cases.

Storyblok allows us to get content across our projects. The set-up time and overhead per project are minimal, so we can concentrate on our business which is creating content.

Storyblok is a very flexible and reliable service. The visual preview and image service are outstanding.

The API documentation for complex queries is not very helpful.

Complex data structures are effortless to create and, at the same time, straightforward to make understandable and usable for the client.

I like the excellent documentation and the easy way of receiving data from the backend I use it with NuxtJS to get serverside rendering and to get a good SEO performance.

I tried to use Storyblok as a backend for an App, but it doesn't work. Maybe it's not intended to do such things with it. I would like to have a user registration system built inside. It would be great if that is possible.

I think the primary problem at my old portfolio site was that the changing of the content was to uncomfortably. With Storyblok i´m ten times faster i think much better than a pure node
