"Both Client and Developer friendly"
What do you like best about Strapi?

The ability to generate a REST API very quickly through the Admin UI. Also, the option to easily extend policies, services and middleware programmatically. Strapi hits the sweet spot in terms of catering to both the end-user and developer.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

I like to use Typescript in backend projects. Unfortunately, there is no support for Typescript currently. Also, I cannot hide selected collections easily in the admin UI based on user role/permissions. There are workarounds to accomplish this, though.

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

Building the backend to a booking system. Faster time to delivery.

"Excellent product. Wroks like a charm"
What do you like best about Strapi?

One-click deploy to Heroku, Ease in configuration

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Nothing as such. Its slightly slow to load on first time, otherwise quite good. There's very good customer support, so all problems are fixed immediately.

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

We've basically opened up our website for every kind of content writer. Previously all content had to go through the Webmaster, and not many have coding background. However, now all members can contribute with ease.

"Searched all open source CMS Software, Strapi is the most user friendly and developer friendly"
What do you like best about Strapi?

I like the fact that I can use it as a regular application. I can put CI/CD and deploy it on staging and production quickly, just like a typical application. Most importantly, Strapi has the slightest learning curve for us. This is important because we don't have enough capacity to train our developers. Strapi also quickly scaffolds all content models for us. This helps us to move fast without wasting time on building plugins for every minute feature.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

It's good in every way currently and suits our needs best. There are minor issues, check https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues for more details, but the team is excellent. I am hopeful that they fix them all. One feature I think would be useful is a way to export specific content using some filters from staging to production. Because content is core of any website. On large websites we cannot test content changes that effect UI, even though there are preview options available. I also miss block editor like wordpress.

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

We are building an extensive website with multiple forms and a lot of content, and we also have various author roles with access to multiple types of content. Most importantly we have a huge books database, which we want to manage and serve using Strapi. We also want to create events, collect donations and maintain a blog using strapi. Because strapi gives us huge control, its easier for us.

"Flexibility, speed, and power, a valuable combination"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Strapi offers a flexible platform that is built for builders. It offers functionalities that can be used in content-based projects, regardless of their size. It gives developers the ability to design their own content structure and even content type, define their workflow, and the interface to create and manage their data. It also offers a very robust API and set of tools that lets developers use that data in any form they need. All of that, with the speed and the option to choose your own database and tools, and the fact that it's all open-source,makes Strapi a very valuable tool for anyone who wants to do a content-based project.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

I wish there was a hosted service which would let us use Strapi for smaller projects, without going through the hassle of setting up our own servers.

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

Without a tool like Strapi, content can easily get our of hand, from designing the structure to the workflow and access. Classic Content Management Systems are usually not as flexible and are slow. Headless Content Management Systems are usually not as flexible, and / or use proprietary technology, which make you dependent on them. Strapi brings structure and east content management, and it's open-source.

"Loving the accessible for all interface"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Our team of developers are doing their best to make us feel comfortable using the back end of our game app. They were able to create a wizard for us ! I love that you, although the interface is intuitive, you can get help if needed. Thanks to Strapi you can keep things simple and functional for optimal results. My experience with this ongoing project has been really pleasant and user-friendly for every level of tech savyness ;)

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Still learning but haven't had any bad experience so far, will update if we do with time.

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

Enables all the stakeholders (other non-for profits in different cities of BC, Canada) to be responsible for their part of the game and be able to upload and update their own content freely with no cost.

"Strapi Now Helps Academic Institutions and Nonprofits"
What do you like best about Strapi?

We love that Strapi is Omnipresent! our students can choose any Frontend Frameworks, Any RESTful or GraphQL, we can integrate it with everything! We have always seen strapi pomo interest to integrate it into our academic training curriculum but due to costs they were impossible for our students. Now that they arrive at our institution with the new Strapi Enterprise Bronze Edition plan for students, non-profit organizations and open source projects we can think about changing our academic curriculum and integrating Strapi into our courses and that our students are the beneficiaries of this great contribution from Strapi! Thank you!

What do you dislike about Strapi?

We could say that allow to customize even more UI.

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

Our students in their training of the AWS Platform are adapting new stacks in their study curricula and now we can integrate JAMStack, Headless CMS with Strapi and we deploy in AWS we are complete to develop the new web of the future with them.
