Save yourself the hassle of updating your self-hosted CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Self-hosting a CMS for a website can be painful when it comes to regular maintenance tasks - applying security patches, updating the database, and adapting your custom backend code to changed APIs. Using Storyblok as your 'content repository' you can avoid this hassle and focus on your frontend code without worrying about future backend upgrades.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once your web project starts growing, you might soon reach a point where the feature set of the free 'Community' account doesn't cut it anymore. Going from 'free' to '90 Euros/month' ('Entry' plan) is not for the faint of heart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Website Content Management. No setup, no maintenance, and a powerful editing interface out-of-the-box. Plus it's really easy to build your own content editing components based on Vue.js
Very Satisfied
What do you like best about the product?
It was very easy to implement Storyblok in our Nuxt application. And also very easy to create content with the visual editor. Everyone is satisfied with the new CMS
What do you dislike about the product?
If i have to mention one thing, it would be that it isn't possible at the moment to filter published/unpublished stories. Which makes it hard to check where we have unpublished content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Storyblok we had our content in the code, so we needed software developers to update the content of the page. With storyblok it is much easier. The development team can concentrate on the big things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free version and implement a full page of your website. So you can easy check if storyblok fits your needs.
One and only CMS for startups.
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility in building what is currently desired.
What do you dislike about the product?
Buggy behaviour of editor resizing, fix it please :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It doesn't matter what kind of page you are currently building for your site, Storyblok can handle it all :)
A viable competitor to larger, more established headless CMS SaaS on the market
What do you like best about the product?
Our team has used Storyblok as a headless CMS solution for more than 2 years now.
After multiple projects, I find that the complexity of achieving certain features reduced dramatically – when compared to 2 years ago.
Looking back to when we first adopted Storyblok on a regular basis, I've seen the product improve both in editor and development experience — visual editor, bridge and asset manager.
Based on this I believe Storyblok's strong point is that their team listens to developer and customer feedback and uses that to continuously improve their product.
On a similar note, it's easy to get direct access to their development team when you contact support.
I am especially happy with the Image service and the GraphQL API (although this one isn't as clearly documented as its REST counterpart).

What do you dislike about the product?
Creating user roles on spaces and managing granular permission for each role leaves a lot to be desired right now.
I'm also not a fan of their plugin/custom app development ecosystem forcing developers to use NuxtJS/Vue – although it's not as problematic now that they also provide their component library as a package.
Table fields could benefit from allowing rich text editors on cells instead of plain text fields.
Their CLI for the management API also doesn't parallelize requests.
Likely there's a reason behind it, but we found it slower than desirable for our needs to upload assets in bulk.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Storyblok as the content layer for multiple applications, mainly corporate websites.
For applications belonging to the same organization, we found it trivial to "containerize" all application configurations for each affiliate/branch using datasources.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always consider trying to reach their development team, either via support or by opening tickets on one of their Github repositories.
The API connectors are open source. If you need to build something they don't provide already, you could look into their tools code as a way to understand how to best make use of Storyblok's APIs

Storyblok for start-ups
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that it works within my existing website design.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to pay my developer $2k to set it up. Primarily redirecting URL's and configuring the website navigation menu to work with Storyblok
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to publish my own stories, images and page layout without sending the info via email relying on my web admin to do it for me. This method is faster and allows me to publish more content. This method also allows me to
Configure content categories and delete and add when needed.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Reliable, easy to use and works with your existing website design. It's easy to upload stories, edit and configure content.
Great option for team w/ mix of technical & non-technical team
What do you like best about the product?
We really like how we can "build anything" with Storyblok and make it super simple to use for the marketing team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major. Would be awesome if it had a native split testing function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our previous website built on Wordpress was coded to where our non-technical employees couldn't make changes beyond uploading content. Storyblok solved that.
Easy integration with Magento
What do you like best about the product?
Dedicated integration with Magento, responsive developers through github issues
What do you dislike about the product?
Actually there is nothing to dislike - I like the general idea to have content served from external service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was only checking it for Magento, since Magento's default CMS features are quite limited, I wanted to see if there is a better way of doing ut.
Smooth and effective
What do you like best about the product?
The ease to copy paste structure / share components, migrate data. The preview mode, structure folders!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think user should be able to have a component in different folders at the same time, maybe by using a tagging system or something. It would allow for much more precise bloks contraints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using a CMS that's easy to use for developers, clear to use for clients. Not painful to work on structuration, simple yet complete.
A perfectly clean and easy solution to host content
What do you like best about the product?
The visual editor combines the atomic component approach with the ability to directly see the result of your work. That way it's easy to make sure your content behaves like intended.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to wrap your head around the fact that storyblok is *only* a content hosting platform, if you come from an old CMS that are mostly all in one solutions for content, forms, business logic and whatever else you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While developing very specialized tools for customers, they often want some kind of content function. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, we can just outsource that part to storyblok and concentrate on the business logic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you ever feel stuck in a problem, just reach out to the support. Their customer service and best practices are perfect.
Great for flexibility to make changes to our landing pages quickly and efficiently.
What do you like best about the product?
The drag and drop feature is awesome to use components with
What do you dislike about the product?
The redirect configure tool can be slow sometimes but that's just about it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick website updates that our development team used to have to manage so it's saved a lot of time for our business
