"My College Strapi Experience"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Highly customizable, React-based, and support for Graphql.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Users can't customize the admin panel content-form UI.

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

We have developed all our college fests' events and club events using Strapi. With Strapi, we could quickly develop the backend, which also came with a pre-ready admin panel. It helped us to prepare our event swiftly before the deadline.

"Best open-source CMS of 2020s!"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Fully customizable, written entirely in JavaScript, vibrant community, tonnes of support. Additionally, I've observed Strapi grow, develop and ship new features at the speed of light! Which is not only encouraging and assuring but also inspiring!

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Honestly, it's hard to think of anything that I dislike. Strapi has proven to enable the projects I work on to ship complex data structures and solve problems related to getting an early idea off the ground in record times! From the free and open-source projects, this is hands down the best one I've come across. They just rolled out Version 4 beta, which on top of all the awesome flexibility and functionality, also looks gorgeous! If you haven't yet, go check them out, you will most probably not regret it!

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

Shipping new features within a matter of hours, not weeks. Building my startup and helping clients to develop and ship features with little to no friction.

"Strapi is one of the fastest ways to go from an empty project to a functioning backend."
What do you like best about Strapi?

The administration UI makes DB architecture very straightforward, while at the same time Strapi exposes enough under the hood to remain highly extensible.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Any "magic wand" solutions always suffer the same problem; less transparency about the underlying low-level processes that are happening. Fortunately this has not been a huge drawback for me with Strapi.

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

I am currently using it as a way to enable customers to edit their own content, replacing older CMS solutions like Wordpress.

"Strapi, a modern CMS that delivers."
What do you like best about Strapi?

Strapi is modern, flexible, stable, easy to use and impressively well designed. The admin page is intended to be customizable by overriding if needed. The ability to create custom user roles is a must. Dynamic Zones make it very easy to create flexible, reusable content models.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

It's not currently possible to use nested Dynamic zones inside another component.

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

None

"A highly customisable headless API saved us heaps of time and a pleasure to work with"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Combined with Dio HTTP cache in Flutter, Strapi has enabled us to build up an easy-to-manage app menu and content system, allowing us to make live changes in a beautiful UI without code changes and app releases.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Some documentation and answers to common questions are outdated for older versions, can cause some confusion.

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

The ready-made dashboard has saved us time and money. The HTTP API to insert data via scripts allows us to pull data from Podbean, Vimeo, Instagram etc in a draft state, allowing us to log in and publish new content.

"Most Flexible Headless CMS"
What do you like best about Strapi?

The thing I like the best about Strapi is that it's open-source; this allows for complete flexibility in what you want the CMS to do. Content is easily accessible through REST API or GraphQL, which is fantastic!

What do you dislike about Strapi?

The free version only comes with three roles which you can't customize. This is understandable because there needs to be an incentive to support the developers, and restricting features is the only way.

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

Quick solution to create an api and present a panel for people with no technical skills.

"Made life easy"
What do you like best about Strapi?

Easy to set up backend and saved hours from creating APIs. Even our non-technical admin can easily manage many features using Strapi GUI.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

Not found so far. Maybe I can add UI is that not responsive and components get overlapped on a smaller window. But not much of a bother anyway.

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

Easy to create all basic APIs through quickstart backend setup. We are saving lots of time.

"Strapi is the fastest way to bootstrap your project."
What do you like best about Strapi?

I like the GUI entity-relationship builder

What do you dislike about Strapi?

More features are added all the time, but I am anxious for more entity types, default random UUIDs (v4 type), and the ability to make authenticated requests through the API easily.

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

I hve a project that is evolving rapidly. Strapi allows me to modify the schema easily without having to worry about migrations.
