"It is an open-source Headless CMS built around JavaScript"
What do you like best about Strapi?

I love that you can basically use this with almost any platform in the industry. It can be used with ReactJs, AngularJS, and even plain Javascript. It's amazing

What do you dislike about Strapi?

I think that there are not enough courses and options for those who would like to learn the CMS; even if it is offered as a paid certification, that would be great!

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

I am solving the problem that you do not need WordPress to create and compete in creating great web applications. It is a new edge to all developers independent and employed.

"My experience as a novice"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Most of Strapi is funny. The way things just connect and can be shared through API, user configurations, and management is fantastic.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

The only thing I feel left in Strapi is a good WYSIWYG editor because most of the users who can access the app are non-technical.

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

We are migrating our webpage to Strapi. Non-technical users will be the admins of it

"Recommended Headless CMS for startup and freelance project"
What do you like best about Strapi?

- There is an Admin Panel for defining data and managing data. - The defined data will automatically generate API and API files for front-end use. - You can still do back-end development and customization by yourself. - It is an open-source project, and you can easily put it on your own server using docker. - Lots of plugins we can choose from the community.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

The documentation is not enough clear. I used more time to find out how to customize the backend and change the configs. Nothing major but could be improved.

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

I used it to set up a freelance project with some articles, pages, and a few other content types. It was very easy to set up with just some fingertips. The data types defined in the Admin Panel are all stored in JSON format, so they can be managed by the version control system.

"The most reliable platform we've found"
What do you like best about Strapi?

One of the main reasons that made us choose to keep our content management focused on Strapi is definitely their clear documentation and the fact that it is written entirely in JavaScript. There's a huge community, the CMS is fast and they are very concerned about every development step, from coding until deploying.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

The only thing that I don't like so much is that they are not (yet) fully supported TypeScript. With TypeScript support, our dev experience would definitely set the bar higher.

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

One of our biggest goals was to manage content in such a way that some users have the capability to change only a specific set of content, having custom access roles assigned to different users. Strapi has a nice and easy way to manage that, by giving us the ability to create and manage custom roles.

"Beginner friendy Headless CMS"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Strapi is easy to integrate with NextJs which is my preferred React Framework. It works well with Next Auth giving me a seamless way to authenticate users on my website.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

There was a steep learning curve when I was starting, but now there are many tutorials to help you get started.

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

Backend development. As a frontend developer, I don't have to master any backend programming languages. Strapi has made it easy for me to have a backend while I concentrate on the frontend

"One of the Best Headless CMS in 2021"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Almost all the basic notions found in the development of backend solutions are implemented in Click&Play. Combined with the efficient and straightforward interface, this saves a lot of time developing short and medium-term solutions.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Restricted access can quickly become restrictive, but it is part of the business model of the company.

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

Strapi allowed me to create POC on different themes: retail, augmented reality, incentive,...
