Storyblok Reviews & Product Details

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.

UI is user-friendly and responds quickly in general, editor experience when editing a page is good. Developer experience is also great

No dark mode :) In the content view, navigation between folders is a bit slow because they are loaded each time

Non-tech staff can create new pages without pinging the dev team. Perfect integration with component-based frontend frameworks like Vue and Nuxt

The team at Storyblok helped me along the way many times. They are very responsive, and always welcome feature requests, etc.

For now, there's not much to complain about.

It is the headless CMS I use for hearingtracker.com and it has become invaluable for us.

With Storyblok it's easy to define and modify content schemas. If I used a custom database for content, I'd have to write and test database migrations which would be time-consuming. Storyblok's documentation is excellent! Each API endpoint is well described and sample code is provided in a number of languages.

Based on my use case I don't have any dislikes.

Using Storyblok I was able to develop my website with a variety of content types (blog posts, static pages) and easily make adjustments.

Option for custom development of the pre-built website themes. Analyzes the impact of campaigns and content on our website

Need to maintain the database appropriately to avoid data loss

Leveraging customer data to make our website a growth engine for the business. Publishing our content across various fldigutal platforms

Completely customizable and powerful SEO & page performance tools to give customers high-quality content

We don't depend on using it as a database for our website

Optimizes web pages to ensure they load fast at all times. The SEO automatically updates whatever we add or update to our content

Structure of Stories and Components works well together with Vue/Nuxts development structure.

Release plugin is a bit unpredictable and has a lot of unknow quirks that are not explained very well in the documentation

A much quicker turnaround in content updates and building up new pages from scratch. Meaning non-technical people can easily add said pages without the need for developers.

The way that Storyblok easily integrates with our existing code without imposing any development constraints.

Not much to dislike - it can be confusing navigating around the preview but the editor staying on the original page.

Storyblok has solved the security / maintenance issues we were having with the traditional CMS system we were using. It is also far more efficient to build CMS-powered websites than it was previously.

Super easy to navigate and organize your content. And you can have multiple spaces in case you want to keep different content projects separate.

Don't dislike anything, but it definitely feels pretty basic for non-developers. Although I do love that it's usable by non-developers like me while providing additional functionality to people who understand code.

Building the back end of a blog for a side project I'm working on with my developer friend.

Easy to implement, great for complex projects with different teams and roles. Easy to set up multilanguage pages. Pricing is ok.

There is nothing I do not like about this product. I use it for more than 15 Projects already, and it's an excellent fit for all my use cases until now.

We create complex websites and mobile apps.

The headless CMS offers great features out of the box. It is particularly noteworthy that the block-based approach offers the developer maximum flexibility - the unique visual editor helps the customer a lot to make use of this feature without any technical knowledge. The ease of use when implementing Storyblok into any application developed in any language is remarkable. Storyblok is a perfect fit when working with a modern techstack, e.g. JAMstack (with any component-based frontend framework). It helps to develop fast, being able to customize as much as needed and deliver quickly. Even extending the functionality in the Storyblok backend UI is possible through field-types and apps.

Compared to other (headless) CMS it's hard to find criticism. The only thing which could have felt more intuitive for a beginner is the way to query the content delivery API - which does not follow default REST principles. But one get used to it quickly.

Storyblok enables a lot of opportunities to solve all kind of different problems. At our digital agency we use Storyblok to create marketing and e-commerce websites as well as custom business applications. As we use VueJS (NuxtJS) to build most of the applications, the block-based approach helps us to structure our applications, even when the CMS is not actually used by our clients. We are able to quickly combine and nest all kind of developed components to build a blazing fast JAMstack webapp.

- Funktionierendes System - Einfache Schnittstelle - Gute Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeit - Gute Account- und Inhaltsübersicht - Guter Support

Bis jetzt nur gute Erfahrungen gesammelt

Storyblok ist bei uns als Content-Managementsystem im Einsatz. Bisher wurden folgende Themen umgesetzt: - Megamenü - SEO-Texte - Text-, Bild- und Videoelemente - Shop the look

Storyblok's key feature it the block-based structure which allows the content editors to reuse components when building their webpages. They also nail the Internationalisation of the content in the CMS.

They have a lot of awesome features which they don't flesh out properly in their documentation.

We are capable of building websites in record time. Their structure also enables our company to build our own tools on top.

An easy and fast way to deploy a CMS to small, medium and large companies. Very intuitive backend for all the content work and an amazing improvement in the page speed.

There are no worries, The system is running smoothly, not one outtake in more then 3 years and the further development still promises a lot for the future.

Bulding up a website in a very short time. To scale the workload was an easy task.

We have a lot of product data and user-generated content which we wanted to make available on our website. With traditional content management systems, it was very difficult to integrate those things. Storyblok gave us the flexibility we needed. Furthermore, we love the speed and performance of the Storyblok admin interface. This enables our content editors to do their job faster and spend less time waiting for things to load. Also, the visual editor works great and makes it possible for non-technical people to write and edit content as well.

We are very satisfied and do not have any issues

We had several challenges which our old CMS: 1.) integrate our data which is produced for our apps and other products into our website 2.) improve the performance and loading speed of our website to improve SEO metrics 3.) make content editing faster and more fun for our content editors Regarding 1: since Storyblok provides all the data as JSON and our product-data and user-generated content is served by a REST API it was easy to combine those two APIs. We were able to use programming languages and frameworks we love and know and weren't locked into the technology which was used and defined by the old legacy CMS. Regarding 2: To make it easy for our content editors to work with the old CMS we installed lots of plugins and over time the website became pretty slow. Also after applying all caching and performance tips and tricks we weren't fully satisfied. Because of the great structure of the Storyblok API it was possible for us to implement very aggressive caching and basically save the final HTML on the webservers disk. This brought is nearly "static site" performance but with the possibilities to edit content within the Storyblok admin interface. Regarding 3: Another problem which was very annoying for our content editors, was the problem that the admin interface of the old CMS loaded very slowly. Therefore they spent most of the time waiting for the admin interface to load. Even correcting a typo took them minutes because they needed to navigate through the site structure and needed to wait on each click. The Storyblok admin interface is very fast and snappy and you can click through it without spending time looking at the loading spinner. Also, the visual editor and live updates are a great improvement for our content editors. Now they can edit content very fast and are not slowed down by the CMS tool.

It is incredibly good to work with: Editors love the visual editor and the freedom to change content within seconds, developers love the component structure and the helpful team behind Storyblok.

We would love to see a customizable naming of the components for the editors.

We are developing enterprise-scale websites with Storyblok and Netlify. Now our clients have got a future-proof web development architecture. The benefits are top performance, scalability and ease of use for the businesses. Our clients do save $ in comparison with CMS solutions like AEM without compromises on their product website.

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! :)

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.

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

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.
