Storyblok Reviews & Product Details

We absolutely love the editor experience, it is a breeze to get used to and learn to use, the plugins system makes it extremely powerful and we are very happy to use it on a daily basis for a dozen of sites!

The only missing piece we currently have is to have an additional "databases" or "collections" concept which could allow us to store and manage structured data in a headless way with the same awesome editor Storyblok offers, currently we have to store this data in another CMS and have the consuming application load data from two sources. The difference to what is currently offered could be that instead of treating everything as "pages" and "components" you could also add arbitrary collections of "person", "product", "venue" etc and then use those just like you do datasources. (perhaps making datasources a bit more powerful?)

Storyblok brings an unprecedented level of flexibility and control to the Headless CMS scene. Before we started using it, using a Headless CMS seemed like a great alternative for simple sites or sites with a clear structure. Storyblok allowed us to unleash the creativity of our editors and site managers by letting them see the content changes in place, a familiar experience to many webmasters. The Headless nature of Storyblok made it easier for us to repackage the content for different distribution channels with ease, which was mind blowing! :)

Storyblok has a modern and good-looking UI where everything is clearly arranged. You can easily find & manage your content without problems. If you want to do crazy stuff, you can do that by writing your own Vue.js plugins for the CMS. Really cool is the visual editor where you can see your changed directly in the CMS itself. The price is superb compared to how many features you get from it. Storyblok can be integrated with many technologies f.e. Vue.js & React and has a great community which is really helpful if you have any problems.

Would be cool if the community would be bigger but it grows.

Storyblok solves the problem with the content structure of other headless CMS. It's really easy to create paths for specific content (f.e. pages) which then can be fetched via the API. It also provides filters where you can be more specific about your data you want to fetch (f.e. filter by name). That allows especially the developer to spin up websites very fast - from smaller to bigger ones.

Content-Creation and schema modelling is a breeze to work with. The visual editor works rock-solid and gives content creator an easy to use tool to manage content. Beside that as a developer the API is separated into a management and delivery API what was the key feature why I started working with Storyblok. So everything can be either handled on the backend of Storyblok or via self-written APIs and services to provide the necessary data.

Typings are currently limited, I would love that the GraphQL API would receive an update that I would start using it.

Using it as a content storage and Headless CMS to replace TYPO3, Drupal and WordPress with a one drop-in solution

That I can build a custom data structure in a few clicks. I can edit my content in any device (also mobile). I can have users with roles to update, review content added.

Is hard to find something I dislike, because for my project goals and an average project it fulfills every need I have. But, maybe, in big projects could be something to highlight, not in my case.

The content management for my personal website/blog. A centralized place to have the content of different projects, creating more spaces on the same account.

Storyblok is user friendly and powerful headless CMS. The visual editor helps you to build pages with a few clicks and the time to market shrinks dramatically. Storyblok is awesome just start working with it and you will see it.

Believe it or not but I still search for the downsides of Storyblok. For every issue I had with the old CMS - Storyblok has a solution.

The possibility to organise multi languages on the page, decrease developer and maintenance costs, improve time to market and train new employees in a few hours on Storyblok.

- Setup is very easy and documentation with real world examples is very helpful - they provide tools for every stack. - Editing content with 100% live preview is unique and just impressive. - Very powerful in terms of extending your own logic. With custom components (tiny vue application you can import) and api's you can achieve probably everything. - Translations / internationalization just works. - API is incredible fast, so far the timings where about 20ms. - Workflow for releasing content is very well thought through - you can group content and apply a scheduled release on this groups. - Support is awesome - you will get live chat support within minutes. - Many features, that we didn't even think of.

I missed some minor features like ui improvements. Some of theme are already implemented, for others a feature request has been created.

For the relaunch of our international e-shop we needed a api driven cms, that is highly customizable. We were able to synch the existing category tree of our e-shop easily. Internationalisation is very well thought trough - one of the features that i missed in other cms. Thanks to the live preview our content team is now able to maintain content twice as fast. So far for all problems, we found more than one solution how to solve it - you have the freedome to choose.

Super easy setup, with a lot of different available resources in all different programming languages. For beginners there are also easy to use sample pages, with demo content. It provides a lot of flexibility and freedom on how to manage and setup the product, allowing it to be used for all sorts of different usecases. For the products I used it in I was able to configure everything the way I_ needed it. After that the maintenance and input of data was super fast. Storyblok has one of the best support I have ever experienced. Fast direct answers via Twitter and E-mail. Useful replies with helpful links to help with questions. Super fast reliable API with great caching mechanisms. Including a super handy image transformation API to serve images in the size they are required in.

As of the current projects I implemented with it, I had absolutely no problems nor was it missing any functionality.

Maintain and manage the data for various Android applications. Easy web interface to edit the data. Web interface allows to properly review modifications. Versioned and backup of the data. Easily revert changes. Multiple people maintain the data in a secure way. Easy to maintain also for non technical people. Super fast and reliable API with fantastic caching. It is that great that I created an open source library to use the API on Android: https://github.com/mikepenz/Storyblok-Android-SDK

Quite easy to setup and get started. Very good customer support overall. Flexible and performant.

Internalisation can be improved since translating complex content structure is a nightmare (impossible to have the full content in source language in the editor)

Centralize our ecommerce platform data

Easy to publish with vast option of integration for the headless CMS. GraphQL content delivery APIs help to publish website content quickly. Our advertiser can build a marketing content and publish it themself to the website.

Some of the website elemenets is not responding to the graphical command.

Storyblok give the flexibility to advertiser to control their content and time to publish it. Using the headless CMS content management has make data structure management easy to control.

Simple operation to drag and drop picture or video on the headless CMS module. Easy dashboard design to find related tool to make changes to the content.

Need more integration option with widgets to add more elements to the website design. I have to manually integrate the elemnent for now.

Solve scalability issue with the content management. Manage content life-cycle. Visual editor has live preview to view the content changes in real-time.
