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
- 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
AWESOME CMS DRIVEN API BUILDING TOOL
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to work on backend for frontend developers. Its like drag and drop feature
What do you dislike about the product?
I think, they should bring a better documentation on how to host it in a individual servers like from Digitalocean or elsewhere
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am workings on a LMS for which Strapi is help me arround
Learning Strapi
What do you like best about the product?
Seems like a great way to build API driven aps quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using the app to improve internal communication at my university.
Great alternative to Django
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI based schema builder. Inbuilt orm. Feature rich product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the free plan should have more features like access roles, better filtering ability in API, etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to develop apis with Django. Coding everything from scratch is overwhelming. With easy schema builder that is no longer a problem.
Plus the rule based access is super cool.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great alternative to Django. The rule based access, schema builder, the crud operations, etc these features are super cool. Getting started is easy. No need to look for boilerplate.
Fantastic Flexible CMS
What do you like best about the product?
Strapi makes it easy to set up an API for your website quickly. There's no tedious work writing API routes and controllers for basic CRUD operations. Their content types builder plugin allows you to get your API up and running quickly. Strapi is also very flexible and customizable, and you can easily configure what you get out of the box with custom routes, controllers, services, and database queries. Strapi also has a great customizable user interface out of the box so even less technical individuals can easily learn how to update your website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, Strapi is pretty difficult to deploy and host. They have relatively comprehensive deployment guides on their website, but they are not full-proof. You will need someone that has experience with server configuration / Dev Ops to get you up and running. It will be really nice when they have a cloud hosted option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm implementing a website that hosts information and race results for my local running club. A lot of the functionality I need for the majority of the content is just basic CRUD operations, and Strapi makes it really easy to step up. Our race results are much more complicated, however, and I have the flexibility to create custom SQL queries where I need to.
Perfect solution if you want to focus on Front End Development and skip Backend DEV
What do you like best about the product?
Provides the quickest solution to setup APIs for your frontend.
What do you dislike about the product?
As it's still growing it lacks some of the features to be used by masses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Strapi is helping me skip the backend part and focus on frontend by managing the backend all from one place.
It is an open-source Headless CMS built around JavaScript
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can basically use this with almost any platform in the industry. It can be used with ReactJs, AngularJS, and even plain Javascript. It's amazing
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that there are not enough courses and options for those who would like to learn the CMS; even if it is offered as a paid certification, that would be great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problem that you do not need WordPress to create and compete in creating great web applications. It is a new edge to all developers independent and employed.
Perfect product ,cannot recommend enough.
What do you like best about the product?
Customazibility, written in React and javascript
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there can be bugs that are not easy to resolve nor debug.
