Extremly productive CMS

The upsides are the customization and flexibility that it gives both the editor and developer

The documentation can be lacking in some areas, but the community is helpful

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it! Don't question it!
Best headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Just the best CMS. It's headless and help to make a secure and easy database and authentification backend system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't find the way to secure access to media library.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had a simply and secure authentification system and database system.
Best open-source CMS of 2020s!
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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 the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to ship and test a new concept, ideate and test the functionality of a product and all of that entirely in an open-source environment, with almost a decade of experience in entrepreneurship and working with CMS-es and the need to ship new websites or functionality I cannot think of a better tool for someone who's not an expert developer. That said, expert developers will be able to benefit just as much, and more, of course.
Impressive API/CMS system with a feature rich free community edition
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi offers a lot out of the box, and most of it can be had with the free community edition. This is great for those looking for something that you can quickly get up and running. For more advanced functionality, you can fairly easily write custom code / plugins for more complex situations.
What do you dislike about the product?
CMS publishing workflow is still primitive. Currently only supports a draft and publish status. If a conent item was already published, there is no way to test changes out without unpublishing the content item entirely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating a somewhat simple CMS backend for a marketing website. After the initial effort to create the components and collection types, it makes content creation and updates a lot easier than having content and pages hard coded on the marketing site itself like we were doing previously.
Very good!
What do you like best about the product?
Easily build backends for whatever frontend needed
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I can honestly say this product is awesome
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefits are great: with a few clicks you have a full API
I love Strapi!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi allows me to build React apps with functionality that would require a backend about 10x faster than I would typically take me if I had to code a backend from scratch. It also provides so many extra features and is constantly being updated and improved.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you upgrade Strapi versions and have customized the admin portal by overriding files, you can run into problems quickly but it's still doable!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is quickly integrating a backend & database to my websites.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Create a mobile app or making the admin portal mobile-friendly!
Strapi Review Alex Arevalo
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is very easy to use, can be easily modified and has several incredible integrations and plugins
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it is not typed with typescript
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creation of routes and user management
Flexible, fast, scalable & FREE! My go-to CMS for the every project.
What do you like best about the product?
Being a non technical person it was tough to figure out the best cms to work with, but with little help Strapi turned out to be amazing. One-click deploy, along with insane flexibility to render content. The UI & UX is also great. It is brilliant to onboard new users and content creators seamlessly. Eagerly awaiting the plugin library updates. For now we are building our customized plugins and its working brilliantly. No tedious permissions based payments, Even the community edition is so well versed to handle small projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
The media library is a bit tedious for our use case - no folder structure
Native latex or maths support is not there, even with CK editor.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are primarily using it to host simple blog and content pieces such as quizzes, exams etc
It is easy and excellent to onboard freelance writers to write the content as required creating the appropriate QC guidelines and hierarchy

Customiseable, Easy to Use and Easy to set up.
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi makes it easy to build a backend that can be sophisticated yet is easy to maintain by anyone. You can create new plugins and modify the existing UI to any extent. It's a brilliant combination of Backend (API's) and Admin Portal (to help maintain the data sent on the API's).
What do you dislike about the product?
I would've loved a bit more plugins as default, like social media management. My use-case includes end-users who manage social media accounts, and something for them within Strapi would've been brilliant.
The documentation isn't unambiguous: They say the Admin panel requires 2GB processing in their custom deployment documentation, but in their Heroku documentation (Heroku provides by default 512MB), they don't mention anything.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it as a demo project for my college. Because its admin panel is straightforward to use, I can use Strapi with my colleagues who don't have computer science backgrounds. Also, the bookshelves (i.e., the databases) in Strapi help immensely in maintaining and encouraging to maintain data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're unsure whether Strapi suits you and you're uncertain whether Strapi's alternatives suit you, go with Strapi. Most business backends require a front-end for the non-technical person to maintain, and Strapi brings it all very neatly in one package.
Flexible, Easy, Fast
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi is one of the easiest, fastest headless CMS that I worked with; it is so easy to implement and start with excellent, fully described documentation that facilitates everything for everyone from senior to beginner,
What do you dislike about the product?
The email functionalities are a bit buggy, but I guess that these bugs will be fixed shortly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Strapi.io for my graduation project, which is a Smart Attendance Management System that uses a combination of MongoDB and Strapi to build the backend.
It helped me a lot with providing my team with an easy-to-use backend UI that they can deal with and make changes on it,

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think my recommendation for new users considering Strapi.io is that they should read the documentation as they provide all the information necessary to begin with.
