Directus Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

Directus is easy to use and combines a lot features: easy-to-use REST- & GraphQL-APIs for developers, a smart User-Interface for clients, data modeling tools for business analysts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Directus could be improved at the core with a CMS-like interface (structured content editor), so you don't have to rely on 3rd-party plugins for this use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Iterative app design is made incredibly easy with Directus as a backend. Its ability to generate consistent and reliable database structures and APIs has allowed me to quickly prototype, test, and deploy new versions of my app without any hassle.

Highly extensible by nature. This has enabled me to customize and expand my applications according to my specific requirements. The platform's open-source nature allows for seamless integration of custom extensions, ensuring that I can tailor my app to my exact needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes new features are pushed too quickly into release, and I have developed the habit of waiting several months before using them in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software worked with small glitches but worked fine. Very easy to use and fast to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recent price change that was 5x increase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's like a self-hosted Firebase or hasura for SQL databases. It can also serve as a backend app to manage your data. A javascript sdk can be used in React, Vue, Svelte, etc. Also offers a GraphQL and REST API. Flexible permissions with roles and fully ReBAC-capable authorization. Use your existing LDAP, OpenID or OAuth2 provider or use Directus Auth, which offers 2FA and sends password reset emails etc.

Configure no code endpoints with Directus Flows or write custom extensions for GUI fields, endpoints or panels in typescript, Vue (frontend) and ExpressJS. Improve developer experience and handle DB migrations with Directus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can do everything with Directus. While you can use anything for authN (google auth, apple, keycloak, LDAP), authZ and permissions could be improved. The feature set is sufficient for blogs or most applications. You can even use it as a backbone for your SaaS. But it's cumbersome to build applications that allow users to grant privileges and create roles themselves because you can only use relation-based access control.

It's not yet possible to subscribe to data changes (the SDK polls at regular intervals) as of October 2022. However, it's promised to arrive later this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It all started with the ease of "just quickly set up a project" for small projects or internal data. In a short time, we discovered that so much more was possible! We can actually replace a lot of our Laravel/Nova projects without writing additional extensions. If we do need to write custom logic then that is also super easy to do!

Since the last update, Directus has workflow support which has opened up a whole new world for us and we now have to write even less custom logic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I don't really like about Directus. If something could improve this even further it would be support for multiple roles per user and maybe a sort of ou-of-the-box tenancy support but that would be very custom to our use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation is appalling but open source helps reverse engineer that.

Things like multi-project, multi-database, WebSockets, GraphQL subscriptions are missing.

Some minor lack of configuration on the front end platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful tool offering a lot of flexibility. The back office is very intuitive.

It is possible to do many things with Directus.

The tool can be used in open source and very customizable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing displeases us in Directus. The axis of improvement can be oriented for the use that e-merchants can have with the tool. For us is the best Headless Content Managment System Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The more flexible tool I've ever tried. I used other Headless CMS, and I can say Directus is the only one that takes content management to another level. Extremely friendly and modern for the users and with the database mirroring and the different ways make the information accessible, it is the most potent tool for any development approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything, but I could say the latest version is very new, still in progress for a stable release, and it is possible to find some minor issues. I've been looking at the project, and they are working hard to have a stable version in late 2021. The documentation is good, but maybe it would be good to have more practical cases.
