"Since last summer i am using storyblok for my personal portfolio website"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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 Storyblok?

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 Storyblok 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

"Storyblok is way more than a content management system"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Visual editor, live preview of content Intuitive in maintenance, nearly doesn't need any briefing for new people to understand how content is managed Flexible -> implementation of new features is really easy Inheritance logic for languages/countries

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Nothing. Suggestions of improvements are always recognized by Storyblok.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Storyblok not only for content, but also for promotions, redirects, shop configurations, merchandising and SEO stuff. Modular system and visual editor enables us to build content twice as fast as before.

"Great alternative to big-name CMS systems"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

The integrated live editor, which integrates seamlessly with your site

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Not as mature as Contentful, for example it doesn't (yet) show you where a component is being used

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

We publish landing pages, it's quick and easy

"Storyblok can handle anything we throw at it. It's the most capable CMS we have ever used."
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Storyblok allows us to create schemas without any limitations. Its flexibility is unmatched. We were able to create a massive block-based website and it had a solution to every requirement we had – from advanced editor permissions, to its own image optimization service.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

If I were to point something that's not great in Storyblok it would definitely be its dashboard. The UI (and, sometimes, the UX) could use a little work. It could also be nice to have a "repeatable" field that could allow us to create a single-use schema (instead of having to create a new independent schema and using "block" with component whitelist).

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're building apps and websites that allow more flexibility and independence for the clients

"A gem that bridges the gap between developer convenience and end user experience"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

- Storyblok can connect to every tech stack without effort. - It's super easy to create new content types and retain relationships previously created. - The visual editor is what our customers love and what helps developers understand business needs - The whole product has a DevOps mindset which is very important in Enterprise: Workflows, backups, APIs. It's an invaluable tool inside every business process we have running - The image service is on par with dedicated image SaaS tools and fully integrated into the solution. More value for my money

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

I can hardly find anything to dislike. Every experience from setup to support has been nothing but positive.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining customer sites of all sizes from small landing pages to multi-page documentations (2500+ pages). The immediate benefit I got was a true separation of concerns: People start managing content again, creating heaps of knowledge without being forced to think about representation. But due to the excellent visual editor, you literally never lose sight of the final result. This is UX at its finest Focus on the core task, make aware of the entire picture. Due to the unique separation of content into separate units called Bloks, content teams are faster than never before. The content becomes a manageable mesh, rather than a deeply nested tree of pages. Content creators can navigate a lot easier.

"Just a joy to work with - for devs and business"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

- Setup is very easy and documentation with real world examples is very helpful - they provide tools for every stack. - Editing content with 100% live preview is unique and just impressive. - Very powerful in terms of extending your own logic. With custom components (tiny vue application you can import) and api's you can achieve probably everything. - Translations / internationalization just works. - API is incredible fast, so far the timings where about 20ms. - Workflow for releasing content is very well thought through - you can group content and apply a scheduled release on this groups. - Support is awesome - you will get live chat support within minutes. - Many features, that we didn't even think of.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

I missed some minor features like ui improvements. Some of theme are already implemented, for others a feature request has been created.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the relaunch of our international e-shop we needed a api driven cms, that is highly customizable. We were able to synch the existing category tree of our e-shop easily. Internationalisation is very well thought trough - one of the features that i missed in other cms. Thanks to the live preview our content team is now able to maintain content twice as fast. So far for all problems, we found more than one solution how to solve it - you have the freedome to choose.

"Visual CMS that clients love"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Storyblok is easy to sell to a client because they also provide materials tailored for content editors and marketers people. This set them apart from most CMS that usually focus too much on the developer experience. Apart from that, the king feature is the visual live editor mode. After a quick demo, clients buy the idea quite easy and I can start doing my job.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

I would say that their Graphql feature is a bit disappointing. I started from there but switched to using their own SDK APIs some of the functionalities didn't work as in a 'standard' Graphql API service.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm allowing Charites to manage their content and adapt their donations campaigns without needing too regular help from our development team. The visual editor helps them to understand what to do without having any technical background.

"Revolutionary!"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Storyblok is the most intuitive and seamless webste building system I have used to date. The page creation is fast and simple with clear steps to creating an efficient webpage. I largely use the pages to promote events and the layout and set up is always consistant and effective.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

The only thing about Storyblok that I find less then ideal, is the number of steps required to set up certain elements on the pages. The menu navigation can take a bit of getting used to.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to promote our gobal event schedule in a consistant and effective manner, to all audiences. Updates and page builds are quick enabling us to keep up with our busy schedule.

"Create, Edit Ok but coding is okeish"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

As a CMS is super. Create, edit and change content is easy but coding for storyblok isn't.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

The blockLibrary is a bit messy but nothing critical.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a Headless CMS it was easy to implement it into our System and use the stories for deliver the content.

"Storyblok Review: Balancing User-Friendliness with Cost Considerations"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

As a user of Storyblok, an advanced headless Content Management System, I'm impressed by its user-friendliness and flexibility. I find it exceptionally easy to use, which both my clients and I greatly appreciate. With Storyblok, I now manage multiple websites smoothly and efficiently. The editor is a true boon for my editorial team, thanks to its intuitive interface. For me as a developer, Storyblok also offers numerous valuable resources and a well-thought-out logic, greatly facilitating my work on various projects. This combination of ease of use for editors and powerful tools for developers makes Storyblok an important tool in my daily work.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

While Storyblok offers many advantages, there are some downsides to consider. One significant issue is the cost; it's not a cheap solution. This can be a deterrent, especially for smaller businesses or individual users who are budget-conscious. Additionally, the sales approach can be a bit aggressive, with a persistent push towards the larger, more expensive packages. This can be overwhelming and may not align with the needs or budgets of all customers, leading to a feeling of being pressured to upgrade beyond what is necessary for their specific use case.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

Storyblok, as a headless Content Management System (CMS), excels in its ability to efficiently manage content across multiple websites from a single backend. This feature truly capitalizes on its headless nature, allowing for seamless content distribution and updates across various platforms. By centralizing content management, Storyblok eliminates the need for duplicating efforts for each website, leading to a more streamlined and efficient workflow. This approach not only saves time but also ensures consistency in content quality and branding across all digital properties. The flexibility to serve different front-ends while managing content in one place makes Storyblok an ideal choice for businesses looking to maintain a cohesive online presence across multiple sites.

"it's a very good headless cms"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

I like that storyblok has a view-in preview thats built in on the page so i can see what i'm doing already and not have to go to a different tab everytime. It is also Headless which makes it easier to separate frontend and backend activities which is better.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

I really don't like the version 2 at all. The UI changed and it looks more to me like a child's game. every thing is reactive and has this excessive scroll on tap feature. Feels like a game. version 1 was really nice but sometimes you cannot see the text, this only happened after v2 was released.

we use it to manage all the websites in various country affiliates we work with

"Just a great system."
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Honestly the best feature of storyblok is the help desk. You can do so much with the whole system and it looks great, but the speed and thoroughness of the help chat on their website makes creating and troubleshooting complex components a lot easier.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

It's a bit of a learning curve and figuring out how your setup is compatible with the headless system and there aren't necessarily comprehensive exemples for every framework.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the visual editor and easy component creation it's just miles ahead of other systems. It's a lot easier for our clients to be in charge of their own content and change things on the fly.

"Universal tool for different needs, that can be adjusted for custom applications without CMS"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

It's thought trough product, were for a lot of things are covered and from content managment perspective developer doesn't have to create new bicycle.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Documentation for APIs can be updated and for extensions especialy, better examples could be provided how to create them, because currently DX is not the best. Then again, cool ideas are integrated in Storyblok.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

Content creation and its managment for dynamic pages, created on Sb, were content editors can do a lot of stuff with pre-defined components, without developer assistance. Reduces a lot of developer time to assist creating basic landing pages or changing texts.

"One of the most innovative & easy to use CMS in the last 10 years"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

The overall architecture & design of the CMS works flawless. Besides some technolgoical issues in the beginning, the technical integration & project setup worked very well. Also the overall usage inside the CMS and the content editing is simple and fast. Especially for my clients.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Sometimes i need too "hack around" some of the functionality. But i believe that comes from the architecture itself. Also the documentation regarding specific technologies is a little outdated. Took me some tinkering to get everything working.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

First of all the overall headless approach solves the "backend developer problem". Because you can configurate your backend, you really only need the frontend part developed. Therefore you have huge savings in development & planning time. Also most of the CMS are bound to internal restrictions. Storyblok does barely have any of these restrictions which leads into a lot of flexibility for me as a developer and also for my clients who build pages & modules in the future.

"Easily adaptable and scalable CMS solution"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

From my point of view, Storyblok provides quite a lot of potential for an easily customizable CMS solution. Integration via JS storyblok bridge is easy as well, if completely customized behaviour of the api is needed, an own connector can be implemented as well.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

While implementing Plugins (applications) for storyblok we stumbled upon how to manage settings for plugins. Here it would be very helpful to have a starter project, which already provides the settings part. Then it would be easier to start with plugins, which need additional settings.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

Storyblok provides a scalable, easily customizable CMS solution. We are using it in several MACH oriented contexts as the CMS solution and are mostly very satisfied.

"Really interesting Headless CMS"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

- Pretty easy and accessible to use. - The free community plan has enough features and space to use for a personal blog or website.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

- Sometimes the Richtext rendering is not optimal.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

I created a personal portfolio and blog website. Using Storyblok has helped me to organize and write all my blog posts while offering the freedom to implement my custom web design. For example, in my home page I created a slider to show every project preview I made, then the single project slide would link to its dedicated blog post.

"I love storyblok"
What do you like best about Storyblok?

I like how everything is in blocks so you can easily use templates to keep the website fresh. I also like how the developers know when something isn't working. They set up alerts.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

The previews never work and I can only reorder stories on my phone. I can't do it on the desktop. Sometimes it takes a long time to load changes but normally it's fine.

What problems is Storyblok solving and how is that benefiting you?

We did it to improve seo and make the user experience better. It's new but it seems like it's better than the messy website I created in the past.
