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.
Amazing Application
What do you like best about the product?
My organization has been looking for a long time to get out of using WordPress and I've looked into different options, Laravel, a full React-based static site with all the back end handled by a SaaS, but my team loved using the "simple" interface of WordPress and after I found this product and my team loved it, I know this was the keeper.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too sure if this product has been around for a while or is new, but it could use a lot more plugins that are easy to install just like WordPress and it's easy to use WYSIWYG editors, but other than that this product is pretty cool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using a Javascript-based application has just been fun, learning and using getting of a PHP based application I can already see all the speed and usage improvements
Both Client and Developer friendly
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to generate a REST API very quickly through the Admin UI. Also, the option to easily extend policies, services and middleware programmatically. Strapi hits the sweet spot in terms of catering to both the end-user and developer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like to use Typescript in backend projects. Unfortunately, there is no support for Typescript currently. Also, I cannot hide selected collections easily in the admin UI based on user role/permissions. There are workarounds to accomplish this, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building the backend to a booking system. Faster time to delivery.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read their documentation regarding backend customization to understand the full capabilities of Strapi.
Excellent product. Wroks like a charm
What do you like best about the product?
One-click deploy to Heroku, Ease in configuration
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. Its slightly slow to load on first time, otherwise quite good. There's very good customer support, so all problems are fixed immediately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've basically opened up our website for every kind of content writer. Previously all content had to go through the Webmaster, and not many have coding background. However, now all members can contribute with ease.
Searched all open source CMS Software, Strapi is the most user friendly and developer friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that I can use it as a regular application. I can put CI/CD and deploy it on staging and production quickly, just like a typical application. Most importantly, Strapi has the slightest learning curve for us. This is important because we don't have enough capacity to train our developers. Strapi also quickly scaffolds all content models for us. This helps us to move fast without wasting time on building plugins for every minute feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's good in every way currently and suits our needs best. There are minor issues, check https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues for more details, but the team is excellent. I am hopeful that they fix them all. One feature I think would be useful is a way to export specific content using some filters from staging to production. Because content is core of any website. On large websites we cannot test content changes that effect UI, even though there are preview options available. I also miss block editor like wordpress.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building an extensive website with multiple forms and a lot of content, and we also have various author roles with access to multiple types of content. Most importantly we have a huge books database, which we want to manage and serve using Strapi. We also want to create events, collect donations and maintain a blog using strapi. Because strapi gives us huge control, its easier for us.
Great flexible, and powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Its flexibility is key. Having the ability to change copy and imagery, even with a custom-designed website. We've even got plans to use this sort of flexibility to create our own internal training tool, which requires content to be created and changed once or twice a year. Strapi will allow us to grow as our organisation grows. I also like the fact that the application is self-hosted. It means we can control our costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is a little difficult to get your head around at first, especially if you're coming from a traditional CMS. We're fortunate in that there are a few people who have used Strapi, but, for new people, it would be best to watch the training videos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're giving our content team the ability to define the content across our site. We're also going to consider launching a blog, to have regular content output.
Depending on how we grow as an organisation, we may even use Strapi to host and display our internal training content.
