Awesome developer experience
What do you like best about the product?
As a developer I have to say that Storyblok was a nice discover.
It took me minutes to add it to my stack (Astro + Vercel), and their ultimate tutorial series made everything else a breeze.
I've implemented it in 2 of my latest projects and both clients were extremely happy with that, even if the aforementioned projects are still WIPs.
Also, I needed clarification about the usage of videos, and the customer support managed to help me out in real-time allowing me to solve my issue in less than one our.
Given this, I'm pretty sure I'll use it in the near future.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I have othing negative to say about Storyblok.
I (the developer) am really happy about it. I wish I've discovered it earlier so that I didn't have to use other headless CMSes that are way worse that Storyblok (and I've used many).
The clients are really happy by the ease of use and the fact that they can see in real time a preview of their changes,

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a headless CMS with a generous free tier which was flexible enough to manage complex components.
Storyblok met both requirements.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are few features that requires improvement, ex: sorting dimensions, merge and override functionality. Also, it's hard to resolve user who published the story it returns unique ID
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We relay heavily on content translations and storyblok provides options to use dimesion for each markets and also the option to override and merge has helped our analysts to simply have translation in one market and override on other markets.
Great, almost there.
What do you like best about the product?
The Visual Editor is fantastic. Once I got the hang of general setup and usage, it's easy to use and implement for front-end and back-end. My clients love that they can point and click to change what's on the page, as well as drag-and-drop to reorder things. I love that the platform is client-friendly and developer-friendly. The Discord is helpful when I have issues. I have used this for a few clients, now, and they seem to like it. It plays nicely with all of the other tools that I use, and the content structure makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
Global/reusable components are a little unintuitive and could be set up better. Perhaps I haven't found good documentation for setting this up, but it's the most glaring issue I've found to have to create a separate Story for Headers and Footers. It's confusing to clients, as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to develop a full-function website that is easy for my clients to update on their own. It puts just the right amount of guardrails on for them to confidently update content and to see their changes instantly and review before publishing. This is a huge selling point for me, as a developer. It's not scary for clients to use, while it allows me to do pretty much anything I set my mind to on the code side of things.
Great CMS for ease of use and extensibility
What do you like best about the product?
Storyblok is one of the easiest CMS that can handle large volumes websites with continuous updates.
It's fun for developers and quite easy for the content managers.

Limited levels and granularity of access rights for different roles. I guess it will improve with time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speeding up the process of development abd deployment.
Easy to setup and even easier to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setup with my Astro site and ease of use. They also offer an incredibly generous free tier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of Storyblok's docs could use some work, and some of their verbiage in their api feels very...proprietary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is hosting my blogs and associated assets, making it easy to serve those posts to my website.
A very user friendly backend, for great frontend experience
What do you like best about the product?
The usability of the backend is very good and helps any user to be able to work efficiently when editing content.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing very important so far, but I would like to have some more features maybe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were searching for a CMS that is quite easy to adapt, easy to use for users and altogether not too expensive. Storyblok seems to be the right tool for this.
Best tool to manage content.
What do you like best about the product?
It´s super intuitive and easy to learn. Managing website content was never this easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I open my website in my browser, I always get the preview version instead of the published one. This is a minor thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Storyblok, I can quickly and easily manage and update my company's website.
Awesome tool for rapid marketing teams
What do you like best about the product?
Really good and "native" like SDK's with Vue ecosystem. Easy to use for non-technical people.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI/UX could be even simpler and faster. App could feel snappier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anyone on marketing team can manage our website content
Customisable website tailored for developers and marketing
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Storyblok is how customisable it makes websites for both marketing teams adding content to their website and developers writing the code for specific bloks. While most CMSs throw everything at you and you spend time trying to figure out how to build what you are looking, Storyblok passes the reins to the developer who can then create exactly what is needed for the specific website in development. The live preview editor was a key selling point for me, being able to preview how the website would look before deployment was important and a step up from previous custom developed CMSs. As a developer, documentation and easy integration is key for create a website. Storyblok has a plethora of documentation for connecting the platform to a custom built site and I was able to follow along the tutorial for connecting it to a Nuxt application. The fact that all is really needed to connect it is some access tokens makes the implementation very easy.
For what few questions I have asked via the help section's chat have had fairly timed responses which were both useful and friendly. The use of a free tier is what made me use it as I could test out the platform and learn how to use without worrying about a payment. Additionally the free tier meant I could host websites and not need to pay until the website was recieving high amounts of traffic, aty which point it would be viable to pick a paid plan.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are/were several little issues but nothing that made me not consider Storyblok. While I did say there was a plethora of documentation and a tutorial on using it with Nuxt, the tutorial was unfinished at the time I was building the site. This did lead to some frustartion as I tried to work out how to deploy a live environment that could be previewed by someone other than a dev running localhost. I was able to accomplish this having one site running 'yarn build' and another seperate site that ran 'yarn generate' (this would be the live site) which using a webhook would run evrytime something was published/unpublished. Another little issue was that the visual editor requires a https, which broke when running on localhost. I was able to do some research and created a certificate so I could run https on a localhost port but there was no documentation on this. Would've been ideal if there was a specific localhost port Storyblok would recognise as to not need https. The last little issue was regarding webhooks, when multiple items need to be published I would tick them and then click publish. However, this would call the webhook multiple times, fortunetly I use Netlify which only ran the latest.
The one big issue I had was the lack of integartions with other platforms. While major website builders like Squarespace and Wordpress have integartions with CRMs, ecommerce and other platforms, Storyblok is notable absent. I suppose this is kind of the point as the developer would be these integartions into the custom site, but if there were functions or other integrations Storyblok could add, it would make the only platform I would want and need.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My previous CMS of choice was Contentful. It was handy for writing blog and other similair types of content like 'Projects' on my personal portfolio website. However, in terms of making a fully customisable site, a template I found for ot wasn't very good as the options were limiting. I was using Gatsby at the time but I'm not a fan of React and prefer Vue so Nuxt.js was the front end I wanted to use. In my research I discovered Storyblok which was highly configurable and customisable for the user. The biggest selling point was the visual editor. I had in a prevoius role managed a website built in Laravel which was connect to a Django admin for its content. This like contentful didn't look great, especially in comparison to the larger website builders like Wordpress or Squarespace. Storyblok offering the visual editor was the biggest benefit.
