Great and easy to setup, modern headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
With strapi it is straightforward to set up a project and get started quickly. It provides an API out of the box. Since it is an open-source project, it is very flexible and customizable. The community is helpful and strapi provides good documentation and frequent updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some important features are missing out of the box, e.g., the possibility to export data. But so far, I was able to add most of the missing functionality with plugins.
A lot of the documentation and other information is for v3, but the new v4 brought some changes, so you need to be aware of the differences between the two versions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using strapi to build an interactive LMS for education. I use it for user management and basic CRUD operations to track user activity.
It allowed me to set up a working API quickly and saved me hours of work. It also allowed me to reuse an existing website built with a javascript framework without many changes.

Awesome, flexible headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi makes it super easy to set up APIs to retrieve, edit and create new content for a static website. It's super easy to work with out-of-the-box but offers the flexibility to customize to each users need.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the biggest downside of Strapi so far is the outdated documentation for plug-ins. Both Strapi and consumers heavily documented V3, but that documentation doesn't necessarily translate to v4 that well. With a little bit of finagling, I was able to get my plug-ins to work, but having updated documentation of out-of-the-box features would be great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main benefit is that of the headless CMS in general, but also the execution of that idea. Spinning up a new instance on AWS or similar platforms is really helpful!
Awesome way to organize content
What do you like best about the product?
I can structure data however I want basing on my requirements.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much so far. It mainly covers all our needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are serving content to our mobile app and web app as well.
Perfect for setting up micro services
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi is perfect for quickly setting up microservices and start serving data. It's flexible enough to support many different data structure and with GraphQL API out of the gate it's really easy to integrate with an existing infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some downsides to it, one of the biggest for us being the lack of ability to create label/value lists. Although I understand that this is a limitation connected to having GraphQL support I still think you should be able to "fake" that functionality in some other way. At the moment you have to create a new collection for every category/section that you need and that can become quite cluttered in the admin UI.

Amazing open source headless CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Modern and clean UI, Great API capabilities, either using GraphQL or REST. Their great support and easy-to-follow documentations on how to customize everything! There is a huge community behind it and there is always updates and communication is very clear from the development team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their new update v4 is out, but the documentation is lacking little, documentation for other cloud services AWS/Azure is also lacking little. But to be honest it is pretty difficult to come put with dislikes as it does a lot of the stuff really good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating a platform for education where they will be able to upload and brose content, the ease of choice between REST and GraphQL has helped me a lot in making Strapi my main choice.
Strapi changes the game for non-profit app development
What do you like best about the product?
Seriously so easy to use because things are (1) drag and drop and (2) pre-built functions
What do you dislike about the product?
Strapi is good for new developers, but is restricting to existing senior devs. We personally love it because our whole team is high school engineers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved problems of getting to production quickly and the benefit is fast launch. We are definitely more productive. Performance has increased significantly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Self-host!
Strapi review
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi presents a complete system for creating a custom CMS straightforwardly and intuitively.
- It is unnecessary to read a lot of documentation to understand its operation and start-up perfectly.
- Allows a super complete API with a very, very flexible configuration
- The management of administration roles is lovely! You can create roles with control over how users can manage the dashboard.
- Authentication providers for end-users is crazy; it allows almost any type of provider.
- Implementation of new plugins is relatively easy, and strapi's code is easy to follow as it is very well maintained

What do you dislike about the product?
- The new update v4 arrived, but the documentation is quite behind, and sometimes, simple things take a long time since you have to investigate how to do it since it is not in the documentation.
- Personalization is limited and, to some extent, complex.
- The community pack is entirely limited by the three roles it contains. One or two more roles would be excellent.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, we use strapi to manage as CMS of the page of our association. In the future, we are considering the possibility that it will also serve us to manage an internal voting platform that allows us to digitize our systems.
Currently, the main benefit is that it has allowed us to create a custom CMS integrated with Nextjs, achieving an administration panel that is very simple to use, but at the same time consumed with a robust framework that makes the page go incredibly fast and well

What do you dislike about the product?
- limited access control using the community plan. While it does not matter for personal projects, using Strapi with multiple people may require a higher plan to get more granular access control.
- less hosting options than Wordpress or other PHP based applications

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Strapi as a headless CMS for storing and managing the content of our upcoming sporting club website. As Strapi is a headless CMS, it allows for decoupling the data (Strapi) and the layout & design (NUXT) of the website. It is easy to host and intuitive for other users to modify existing content or create new content to be displayed on the website
