Developing an API server became a fun thanks to Strapi
What do you like best about the product?
1. Automatic GraphQL schema generation based on models created by the content-types builder
2. Lifecycle hooks

What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot complain about Strapi because it's beyond my expectations and it's not easy to find any flaw in Strapi. However, I found Strapi doesn't support the subscription operation out of the box which is one of the key reasons I have chosen GraphQL. But I found a workaround and it works well seamlessly. So there's nothing I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I believe all of the business logic should be implemented at server side and the client application should focus UX/UI only. But it's easier said than done. When we realize that there's something wrong with our project and wish to refactor the source codes both on client- and server-side, we don't have much time left. However, with Strapi you can rewrite the APIs at anytime in a couple of days. That's actually what happened in my company. We've decided to re-do our work that had taken a year so far because we were assured that it would be much faster to deliver our product rather than to be stuck with spaghetti codes of previous work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anyone who has much experienced with API/model development would find it saves a lot of time and effort to use Strapi.
Anyone who is not familiar with and afraid of developing an application regardless of whether it be a CMS, a blog, an app or a simple website would be relieved if he/she follows the getting started or watches recipe videos.

Very great piece of software
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi is in my opinion the best headless CMS currently because of its fast api development process and its flexibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first I disliked a part of the policies when it come to customize it for custom controller's actions. I took some time to make it work how I wanted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Strapi help me to fastly build some APIs to save time and money. It's an headless CMS but I use it for more than that, I use it for general APIs too.
Fastest & Beginner-Friendly Self-hosted Headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi came at the right time when I was looking for a way to build a custom and light-weight API driven Content Management System for my Project. I got started with few hours of watching tutorials and reading the documentation. It was a real life-saver.
I've developed my CMS now and Frontend & Mobile Devs are already consuming the endpoints for production ready stage.

What do you dislike about the product?
I could barely find a fault at the moment. What I would probably say is that switching between dev and production environments could be more seamless or maybe I just haven't gotten a hang of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One major cool thing about Strapi is also that its open source and self-hosted backed with growing community.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Strapi is great for small to advance projects. It's out-of-the-box tools are easy to use and get you ready to deploy your API's with basic knowledge and experience.
Simple and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi offers a rich set of features and defaults to develop first-class applications quickly. Strapi grapqhql API, components, unique types and json type fields set this product apart from its competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The docker image for production overpasses 1GB
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving development time building front-end applications
Great product with the best overall cost in a crowded market
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi is easy to get up and running quickly, even for the most junior developer. Its total cost of ownership is down to earth, especially as nearly all SaaS alternatives are overpriced. It has a solid API and has no artificial predefined limits.
What do you dislike about the product?
No sdks and new features develop slowly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed a blazing fast content management system at a scale that WordPress chokes and SaaS Headless CMS providers demand an exuberant amount of money.
Excellent product with a great team behind it
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly just how easy it is to quickly start up your API and just start adding data. Going from basically nothing to a fully functional backend headless CMS in 5 to 10 minutes with not a single line of code is great!
What do you dislike about the product?
Obviously new features take time, and the Strapi team is small. My main dislike actually has little to do with the team or product but the lack of outside contributors helping to make the project better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Strapi in a free and open source environment in a product that doesn't bring in any income, thus Strapi being free and open source was a huge benefit for us. Our API will be used by many other parties that need a solid standard query framework to pull our data, REST/GraphQL they both work great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn a little devops, it is a useful skill to have and you will need a little of it to setup SSL
