Strapi Reviews & Product Details

It's easy to set up, fast and has excellent documentation.

The free version comes with only three roles to use - this will work out for most use-cases (I assume), but even a small project working with multiple contributors will quickly reach this limit.

We're using it in the backend of a public (as in state-funded, non-profit) school's website. Their previous one was pretty static, allowing only a select few to take care of the content. With Strapi, this isn't a problem anymore: Not only can teachers take care of their subject's pages themself, but students can create content for working groups (to only name one example), thereby learning to interact with modern content management systems in a fun, non-stressful way.

Best for CMS API. Looks great for the future.

Frontend UI or plugins so it will reduce the development cost

Distribution of the content and api

The fact that all the APIs are created on the go, all methods on the APIs are all set. That is like a gold key to me

The time it takes to refresh after creating a collection, sometimes I have to restart the server on development

In time project delivery. Strapi gives hope to junior devs who'd love to experience what goes on in the backend.

The best part about Strapi is that I'm able to spin up a CMS in less than a minute. Yes, it really is that fast. Just a single quickstart command in the terminal and you're ready to build out your content structure for use in any project. When I explain Strapi to other developers, I usually tell them to think Wordpress Pages + Posts + Media + Custom Post Types + Advanced Custom Fields + Users, all rolleded into 1, easily accessible via API, without the parts that you don't need and with a better user experience. Strapi makes development so much quicker. No longer do I have to think about setting up, managing and interacting with databases. Instead, everything I would need a database for is now handled by Strapi. API endpoints for all of my data are generated automatically, making it easily consumable from any front end app. I love that Strapi is free and open-source, making it very easy to customise Strapi 'till your hearts content. The Strapi core team also work hard to push new updates and functionality while listening to and engaging with the community. It's the best of both worlds.

I might have once said that the UI could be a little less bland, but with Strapi version 4 just around the corner and the upcoming re-design they showed off, I'm just excited for the update. The only real issues I have with using Strapi aren't directly related to Strapu itself. The only slight problem I have is hosting Node apps in general due to the more complex requirements than what I'd been accustomed to. For example, there aren't a thousand companies offering easy to use 1-click installs like in the Wordpress world or easy push-to-git solutions you get in the javascript front end world. This, of course, makes hosting Strapi a little less intuitive for beginners. That being said, I know that the Strapi team is currently working on an in-house hosting solution, so I look forward to that.

Currently, I'm using Strapi in portfolio-type websites to manage page content and blogs, etc. I'm also using Strapi for business websites where I have to manage users and authentication. So far, I can't imagine there being many, if any, projects that Strapi wouldn't be great for.

It is 100% codeless. Creating custom content types and roles, giving permissions, creating APIs are very easy with the Strapi. Everything can be done using the admin panel. They have nice documentation as well.

The richtext editor has a limited number of functionalities. Better if can add more functionalities.

I am creating a blog publishing site and needed an admin panel for all the authors to add content.

- it recently supports Internationalization - the UI is beautiful - role management is very detailed and clear

- That there is no cloud service yet but it's now coming from what I saw!

- the non-dev team will be able to edit and add content, which will free their time to code real stuff - better interface overall, and scalable website.

Easily build backends for whatever frontend needed

Nothing, I can honestly say this product is awesome

Benefits are great: with a few clicks you have a full API

Strapi allows me to build React apps with functionality that would require a backend about 10x faster than I would typically take me if I had to code a backend from scratch. It also provides so many extra features and is constantly being updated and improved.

If you upgrade Strapi versions and have customized the admin portal by overriding files, you can run into problems quickly but it's still doable!

The main benefit is quickly integrating a backend & database to my websites.

I like that it is very easy to use, can be easily modified and has several incredible integrations and plugins

I don't like that it is not typed with typescript

Creation of routes and user management

Strapi is one of the easiest, fastest headless CMS that I worked with; it is so easy to implement and start with excellent, fully described documentation that facilitates everything for everyone from senior to beginner,

The email functionalities are a bit buggy, but I guess that these bugs will be fixed shortly.

I'm using Strapi.io for my graduation project, which is a Smart Attendance Management System that uses a combination of MongoDB and Strapi to build the backend. It helped me a lot with providing my team with an easy-to-use backend UI that they can deal with and make changes on it,
