What do you like best about Strapi?

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.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

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.

What problems is Strapi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing a centralised API/CMS solution that we can sync our various other tools such as Salesforce too, allowing us to request data easily and in a quickly customisable manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Strapi?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

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.

What problems is Strapi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Strapi will serve as the editorial content repository and admin interface for a museum and heritage foundation. it should support multiple frontends but also should let us fetch data to automatically generate email newsletters and other stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Strapi?

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.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

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.

What problems is Strapi solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are creating a custom app to allow our reporters to send demographic surveys to their sources. Strapi lets us create interfaces for our editors to create forms and reporters to send as well as the actual surveys that are completed by the sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Strapi?

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.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

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.

What problems is Strapi solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a highly customisable CMS for handling accessibility data of different buildings on a college campus. Other prebuilt systems were configured for blogs, or products, and was not as blank slate as Strapi Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Strapi?

How quickly I was able to get up and running with secured REST endpoints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

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.

What problems is Strapi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Strapi simplifies the effort to build a robust backend with its GUI tools to build out entities & generated code. Instead of spending weeks building the foundation to an application, I can bootstrap with Strapi and immediatly focus on the actual data entities and workflows.

What do you like best about Strapi?

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.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

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.

What problems is Strapi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Setting up a headless CMS for a non-profit organisation involving a number of stakeholders for a website with a Next.js frontend. Strapi has allowed us to build a CMS that is easy to use for non-technical users while still providing the complex functionality necessary for our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Strapi?

- 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.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

- 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.

What problems is Strapi 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
