"Affordable and flexible"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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

"Storyblok is powering the evolution of our CMS websites"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Easy-to-Use Headless CMS"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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

"How a headless CMS should be built these days"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Storyblok helped us to reduce the complexity of content management"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

We are very satisfied and do not have any issues

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"Storyblok, the headless CMS of our enterprise JAMstack solution"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.

"The missing piece in the Headless CMS scene"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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!

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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?)

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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! :)

"Easy to use (good UI/UX), good documentation to integrate with any web technology and good prices"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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 a solid Headless CMS which sets no limits in terms of project scope."
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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

"Good-looking & easy integrated headless CMS with many features you'll love"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

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.
