Learning curve for a new developer
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I can create easy to use bloks for my marketing and design teams to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a large learning curve when it comes to connecting components through Vue, however once this is mastered the platform is convenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storyblok benefits my team by allowing the marketing team to adjust the website without needing to consult me first.
Super flexible and easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
Storyblok is, in my opinion, an incredibly flexible and user-friendly CMS that is perfect for teams who want to manage content without hassle and with a lot of freedom. The CMS offers us as a company an incredibly intuitive experience, where you can make adjustments directly and immediately see the result, which greatly speeds up and simplifies the entire content management process. Setting it up and getting started is smooth and without much hassle, allowing even new teams to quickly get to work with it. When help is needed, we can easily reach the support team, which is particularly nice. We use Storyblok every day, and if you compare it to a standard CMS, this is really the better work.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion, there are a few points that work less pleasantly. The visual editor can sometimes load slowly, especially with larger projects, which makes real-time editing a bit less smooth. Also, some integrations are somewhat complex, requiring you to regularly need the help of a developer. Furthermore, it can become costly if you want to add extra features or plugins, which makes it less attractive for smaller organizations with a limited budget. But overall, I would definitely recommend Storyblok.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, Storyblok solves common content management challenges that are often time-consuming and frustrating with other CMS systems. With the visual editor, I can see directly how my changes look, which greatly helps to save time and get approvals faster. The fact that I am not tied to a specific platform or limited in how I deploy content makes it possible to push everything from one central place to multiple channels, such as a website, app, or even other devices. This is ideal when I work on projects that need to be used in different ways.
Additionally, I am no longer busy rebuilding everything; by setting up components once, I can easily create new content that is consistent in style and structure. What is also very nice is that I can easily integrate Storyblok with other systems I already use, so I don't waste time on complicated integrations.
And perhaps the biggest advantage for me is the technical flexibility that Storyblok offers. Because it is API-driven, I can work with any front-end framework I want, without being tied to a specific setup or structure.

A Game-Changing Headless CMS for Modern Web Development
What do you like best about the product?
As a digital agency transitioning from TYPO3, what we appreciate most about Storyblok is its innovative approach to content management through reusable blocks. The visual editor stands out as a true game-changer, offering an intuitive interface that makes content management accessible even for non-technical users. Coming from TYPO3, we've found that client onboarding is significantly smoother with Storyblok, as the learning curve is much gentler. The flexibility in creating and managing layouts is exceptional, and the straightforward setup process allows us to get projects up and running quickly. Being an Austrian company like us adds a nice touch of familiarity, but more importantly, their understanding of European market needs is evident in their product design.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main pain point we've encountered with Storyblok is their pricing structure. The stark contrast between the free community tier and the entry-level paid plan creates a challenging decision point for smaller projects. This pricing gap can make it difficult to justify the transition for smaller clients or projects that need just a bit more than what the community tier offers but aren't quite ready for the full investment in the entry tier. A more gradual pricing scale would make it easier to scale with client needs and project requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a digital agency specializing in creating custom websites and web applications, Storyblok solves several critical pain points in our content management workflow. The headless architecture perfectly aligns with our tech stack of Nuxt and Vue.js, allowing us to build modern, high-performance websites while giving our clients an intuitive way to manage their content. The visual editor bridges the gap between developers and content editors - something that was particularly challenging with TYPO3. This means our clients can actually see their content changes in real-time, significantly reducing the back-and-forth communication and revision cycles. The nested block concept allows us to create flexible, reusable components that maintain consistency across pages while giving clients the freedom to create unique pages without requiring developer intervention.
good experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ease to change and edit the design of my pages in the design view.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult to configure the Enriched Text field so that it respects the styles, perhaps a more in-depth explanation of how to do it or a tutorial could help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I give freedom over the design while I have at hand a platform that allows me to manage my content and give flexibility to the design with ease.
A powerful and intuitive CMS designed to meet the needs of both customers and developers.
What do you like best about the product?
That it is easy to set up and headless. Also the contact with them has ben very personal.
We are migrating 5 websites and it's been going very smooth.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is no clear cut way on how to support multiple websites in a single space.
We had to do some research for that. I would have loved some advice on that from the start.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves content management in a good way. The UI is good and well thought out which makes in user friendly.
And a from a developer experience. We had pages up and running within a day because of their open source tooling for nextJS.

Storyblok made our life so much easier
What do you like best about the product?
Storyblok makes it easy for everyone to customize our website. From designers to developers and marketing employees, everyone can easily find their way and perform their tasks properly. The possibilities are endless and the UX is very clear. Storyblok is really for everyone. Whether you have a basic knowledge of Headless CMS, or no knowledge at all, everyone can work with it! It has taken our new website to a new and higher level and we are very happy with that!
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to mention a disadvantage, it is that it can sometimes be difficult for (beginner) developers to really make it a modular system. Often when new pages have to be built with new (or existing) content items, hard-coding is needed. It would be nice if this could be made a bit easier for a developer, so that when an item is completely built, it can easily be reused.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They're solving our problem of having a good functioning website which is easy editable by multiple different people in the company.
Powerful CMS Tool.
What do you like best about the product?
This is very user-friendly tool, easy to create templates using Block Library and the pages or stories can be associated language wise or market mise. There is more flexible option to clone the content between various markets with same language speaking counties like AU NZ GB etc. We use the tool more frequently and we have more than 25 spaces created project wise.
The Data source option with language specific works well for us to use them as labels for different markets. We can use them as an API as well. The Tasks option is one of the best option where we can use it to trigger the builds using the API and we are also using the webhook option that provided per space which will help us to build our project based on publishing the story.
A user friendly and flexible option is, we can copy the templates from one space to other. I loved the tool as a developer and storyblok admin user. We also have control over granting the access between users Field Wise which is very great functionality and that’s very much useful for our organisation.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Customer support with chat is not that responsive as I have noticed, because I rarely get the reply from them which is little sad new.
However, I found a link (mentioned below) which helped me a lot, the issue is resolved within 48 hours after creating a ticket here. By which we were Happy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using sitecore earlier and migrated to Storyblok mostly for the cost effective with similar or more features.
A good CMS that can be used intuitively
What do you like best about the product?
As a Localization Manager, I appreciate how easily we can categorize all sites and assets based on the language.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are "weird" markdown issues.

Localizing our website
Storyblok makes me feel like a hero!
What do you like best about the product?
As a developer, I often have to say "no" to a lot of requests due to technical constraints in the tools I am using to build things. With Storyblok I almost never find myself saying "no"!
Specifically, I greatly appreciate that locales are free and have flexibility in how the content is merged together.
The ability to add custom widgets to the editor via Field Plugins is a game changer! I've used it to implement advanced styling features for grid layouts and button colors.
Lastly I appreciate the completeness of the APIs. We have actually been able to migrate 90% of our existing website from our old CMS into Storyblok solely via script using the APIs.

What do you dislike about the product?
All the dates and times are in UTC. That is literally the only thing I can think of that I dislike. It's annoying because UTC is not something even technical folks like myself are used to thinking in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We sell products in North America and Europe and Storyblok lets us create a localization strategy that can scale as we grow. Most other content management systems really limit the number of locales you can have, which is a non-starter if you're going to sell in Europe.
Great CMS with great support
What do you like best about the product?
Storyblok is very easy to use from an editor point of view, but also when implementing it.
I use Storyblok every day to power my business. The management API makes it also very easy to integrate Storyblok into other services.
Finally, the support is also very good, responsive and helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are very few downsides. For my personal workflow, there are few things in the UI that could be optimized for efficency, but that's critique on a very high level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Storyblok as a type of database for running my job board.
