What do you like best about Strapi?

Seems like a great way to build API driven aps quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

I've encountered some bugs and some things seem to be more difficult than they have to be. It's definitely not plug and play. Strapi takes some time and patience to learn but once you understand how to setup a development and production environment - magical things start happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm using the app to improve internal communication at my university. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Strapi?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

I think the biggest downside of Strapi so far is the outdated documentation for plug-ins.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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Strapi?

Strapi is highly customizable and easy to use so we were able to use it for entering content into a game we developed that is unique and custom built - Strapi was the perfect solution for managing the content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

I would've said lack of translation was a big hole but that issue was resolved in April and we're now in the process of translating our game into multiple languages. So no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a digital game that was designed from the ground up, with very specific content formats that don't match any existing content management systems. They combine graphical elements (uploaded as SVGs), text, interconnected collections, etc. The game is content intensive so it required a user-friendly interface that was highly customisable. The introduction of translation functionality has enabled us to now develop a multi-language version of the game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Strapi?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Strapi?

The best part about Strapi is that I'm able to spin up a CMS in less than a minute. Yes, it really is that fast. Just a single quickstart command in the terminal and you're ready to build out your content structure for use in any project.

When I explain Strapi to other developers, I usually tell them to think Wordpress Pages + Posts + Media + Custom Post Types + Advanced Custom Fields + Users, all rolleded into 1, easily accessible via API, without the parts that you don't need and with a better user experience.

Strapi makes development so much quicker. No longer do I have to think about setting up, managing and interacting with databases. Instead, everything I would need a database for is now handled by Strapi. API endpoints for all of my data are generated automatically, making it easily consumable from any front end app.

I love that Strapi is free and open-source, making it very easy to customise Strapi 'till your hearts content. The Strapi core team also work hard to push new updates and functionality while listening to and engaging with the community. It's the best of both worlds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Strapi?

I might have once said that the UI could be a little less bland, but with Strapi version 4 just around the corner and the upcoming re-design they showed off, I'm just excited for the update.

The only real issues I have with using Strapi aren't directly related to Strapu itself. The only slight problem I have is hosting Node apps in general due to the more complex requirements than what I'd been accustomed to. For example, there aren't a thousand companies offering easy to use 1-click installs like in the Wordpress world or easy push-to-git solutions you get in the javascript front end world. This, of course, makes hosting Strapi a little less intuitive for beginners. That being said, I know that the Strapi team is currently working on an in-house hosting solution, so I look forward to that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Strapi:

Give it a try, it's free, and you have nothing to lose. Even if it's just on your local machine for testing, setup takes no time at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently, I'm using Strapi in portfolio-type websites to manage page content and blogs, etc. I'm also using Strapi for business websites where I have to manage users and authentication. So far, I can't imagine there being many, if any, projects that Strapi wouldn't be great for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's open-source, free, extendable, built with React, Javascript, Node... With the V4 version it has a new plugin ecosystem so anyone can easily contribute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's a bit slow (haven't tested much V4 yet tough). I would also love some more custom fields (color picker, map...) ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
