Super quick to get up and running. Allowed us to build out our CMS quickly, allows us to generate our site dynamically and allow our non-technical staff to view all of our relevant data items and page content without hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be great if the top-level navigation could be customized. It would be great to bring out certain object types such as from within the content manager and "pin" them to the top-level navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part of Strapi is that it is only opinionated where it is necessary, but is flexible in most other regards. I like how it is user friendly to editors, but has a great API (including GraphQL) so that developers are empowered, but it's also possible to build MacOS Shortcuts integrations.

One of the downsides is that the media library doesn't easily support internationalization, meaning that the built-in fields for captions and alt tags can not really be used, This creates the necessity to store this information on a different level, but this makes it difficult to create elements like carousels which are much easier to create if the alt tags and captions can be pulled from the media library.

It's allowed us to get started very quickly in moving from concept to implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have had to find some ways to work around free tier limitations as we are working as a non-profit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Speed! The user interface runs incredibly fast making development a snap. Very low overhead compared to something like a headless WordPress install. The free version seems to provide a generous amount of features and the enterprise options add even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Haven't found anything yet, our developers have been loving it and it sounds like we'll be using it for lots of projects in the future. Will certainly benefit from a larger community as more folks find out about it and start using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The extent to which it just works out of the box. The most important configuration can be done in GUI form for live previewing the UX for your nontechnical operators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Large extents of customisability are baked into the packages, meaning to edit things like the landing page, while not techically important greatly impacts the UX, requires forking the project, adding to the tech debt for updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How quickly I was able to get up and running with secured REST endpoints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing... so far. I build B2B SaaS products so I may grow to loathe the tax on Strapi's tier that offers SSO, as it's an essential feature to sell to the enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Strapi has made creating a highly flexible and powerful API very simple. Most basic functionality is very intuitive, and there's extensive documentation for more complex functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lack of granular access controls in the community plan reduces the usefulness in some use cases, but these are available in paid plans. Otherwise we haven't encountered any problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall content management is so great. And the best part is the API services that we are getting out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel Strapi 3 Dashboard UI/UX was better than Strapi 4. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Strapi features a mordern, intuitive UI which even non technical users can easily use
- great API, either using REST or/and GraphQL
- ability to create custom custom, typesafe data types
- mordern code base, fast performance, uses NodeJS
- it is possible to self host Strapi which enable full control over the data. They even provide a docker image for easier hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is by far the easiest solution for a headless CMS solution and even better as an API framework to power whatever your needs are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Content editor fields are limited in some cases e.g. date input, document selector Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
