Flexible, intuitive and well thought-out platform hampered by a lack of support for the tricky bits
What do you like best about the product?
Storyblok's flexibility in creating content types and presenting them via the API is brilliant, intuitive, and very straightforward to implement. The interface is fast - very fast, and the incredible power of components and blocks makes for a genuinely superior client editing workflow. I was able to get the data out of the API and spin up a working frontend in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Migrating from another platform was outrageously simple and, in turn, an utter nightmare. Importing via CSV was super easy. Unfortunately, the documented methods for converting HTML to markdown, then markdown to rich text don't work out of the box. Although I managed to get half the process done (html to markdown), I was never able to make that final step to richtext - and with an esoteric request like this, I just wasn't able to get any support for the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storyblok provides an intuitive and fast editing experience for my clients that allows me to set constraints on the elements they can use and modify but allows them the freedom to create content as needed.
It also frees me from the limitations of monolithic platforms, and provides an excellent API-first approach to front-end development.

A quick wrap-up on Storyblok, a headless CMS with a view.
What do you like best about the product?
Storyblok stands out by being easy to use. Whether a developer, a writer, or a marketeer, you will enjoy a simple yet efficient UX.
Since we are evaluating a headless cms connectivity to the front-end should be one of your concerns. There again, things run smooth regardless of the front-end, thanks to good plugins.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some, like me, might be missing a little more flexibility to create models, but there is enough in the app to make it work out of the box for most use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storyblok allows us to get content across our projects. The set-up time and overhead per project are minimal, so we can concentrate on our business which is creating content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Storyblok is a perfect fit for marketeers and content writers. For heavy data management, there are other options.
One of the most powerful CMSes out there
What do you like best about the product?
The reusability and the design system that Storyblok boasts integrates itself seamlessly into our way of working and our codebase. We've created more than one site using the same library of components and now simply seek improvements to the way that we're working with these components - and the spaces that utilise them. We use Storyblok every day as part of our work, whether it's developing a new feature or just creating a funky new page to show off the art of the possible. It's been so easy to create new content on the site that we find ourselves - even as developers - making fake content pages just to show off the work we've done and what can be acheived with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
V2 fixed a lot of the quirks and problems that we'd previously noted. It's a much slicker experience. My least favourite part of Storyblok, however, is how the Releases app seems to be a bolt-on to the content creation process. There are still inherent bugs and quirks with getting it to slot nicely into our spaces. For our teams, it feels absolutely vital, so it'd be nice to see it get more of a focus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It encourages the creation of reusable components that can be inserted within each other. This aligns with our development principles and ensures that we are not making everything bespoke, saving us time and also allowing the content teams to experiment more with what's available to us. That in turn leaves us with less pressure to guide them design principles.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the fundamentals of your framework locked in. It makes getting started a lot easier. Also, the Storyblok Discord is invaluable.
Since last summer i am using storyblok for my personal portfolio website
What do you like best about the product?
I like the excellent documentation and the easy way of receiving data from the backend
I use it with NuxtJS to get serverside rendering and to get a good SEO performance.

What do you dislike about the product?
I tried to use Storyblok as a backend for an App, but it doesn't work.
Maybe it's not intended to do such things with it. I would like to have a user registration system built inside.
It would be great if that is possible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think the primary problem at my old portfolio site was that the changing of the content was to uncomfortably. With Storyblok i´m ten times faster i think
much better than a pure node

Great CMS with a fantastic live editor
What do you like best about the product?
The live editor makes content editor's lives happy as they can see a preview of their new page as they create or edit it in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The official plugin with Gatsby is a bit outdated and doesn't work with the new Gatsby image API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy for developers to create components for content editors to build new pages with. When a change is required on a page, no developer is required and the editor can do it themselves.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If content editors would like a preview of their site while they are editing content, then Storyblok is the CMS you should choose
Decent service but with a couple gotchas
What do you like best about the product?
The API has a number of options for filtering and querying. It's fast and concise. GraphQL support is great too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Relationships in the API are poorly implemented and difficult to workaround. Even the GraphQL API was missing a relationship lookup aspect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to deploy a powerful CMS for a multimedia platform. The benefits was the visual editor which is a godsend for newcomer content maintainers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Determine if it fits your use case and try working with the API before you commit.
Highly customizable visual CMS made by a small team
What do you like best about the product?
The visual editor is a great help to our client. The generous quota on the number of content types is also liberating compared to competitors offering the same service.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ecommerce integration requires a higher plan, which is the only feature that requires an upgrade from the entry to the team plan, and a big blocking decision for our smaller cllients. We prefer to have the ecomm integration available on all plans (not free) as a gesture of goodwill for users supporting your platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a digital agency, our client's content editing experience is very important to our collaboration. This is because if they are confused or make a mess in the cms, it is more overhead for them and maintenance for our developers.

Tough setup but great CMS experience
Solid, reliable and very flexible CMS solution that I’ve grown to love
What do you like best about the product?
I’ll be honest — at the beginning, I was a bit skeptical towards Storyblok because it seemed less powerful and flexible than other headless CMS solutions out there. I was wrong.
Once you start using it and get your head around it, you’ll see how flexible it is and how easily it can adapt to various scenarios. Start by checking out their tutorials, there are many, and they get updated often.
I especially love how easy it is to model content, how fast their API endpoints are, and how extensible and adaptable the tool is.

What do you dislike about the product?
I personally think that this product has a steeper learning curve when compared to similar products, so I suggest reading the documentation before diving into it. The concept of “blocks” is something different from other CMS, so it might take some time to fully grasp.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m using Storyblok as a headless CMS for various websites, ranging from simple landing pages to big websites, including e-commerce platforms. Storyblok has provided me with a cost-effective, consistent platform to handle all the content management needs, allowing non-technical team members to handle content on their own.
Great reliable CMS solutions that facilitates development in a unique way.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is easy to use and customizable, and it has great content creation features that are very effective and easy to define and modify. It's packed with great visual ideas, and it's also effective when it comes to planning content. The user interface is excellent, as it is easy to find any function.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is an easy to use tool but it needs to show more deatils in each of its functions and it does not offer drag and drop either and that is important because it will make the work much easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing content in a unique and efficient way, editing documents, managing web content, and editing images and text helps a lot more than you bargained for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will greatly reduce your time to a few clicks, I recommend it.
Very easy to use CMS
What do you like best about the product?
UI is user-friendly and responds quickly in general, editor experience when editing a page is good. Developer experience is also great
What do you dislike about the product?
No dark mode :) In the content view, navigation between folders is a bit slow because they are loaded each time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Non-tech staff can create new pages without pinging the dev team. Perfect integration with component-based frontend frameworks like Vue and Nuxt
