Strapi Reviews

Summary: I use Strapi to publish and update project information and images. Strapi helps us avoid manual code updates and saves server costs compared to WordPress. I appreciate the templates for faster project structure definition but find deployment via GitHub cumbersome for non-technical users. I rate setup ease 8/10 and would highly recommend it.

Positive: I like using Strapi because it allows me to publish and update our project information and pictures without needing to do manual updates directly to the code. This is especially beneficial since we use a static website, and it helps us save money by avoiding the costs associated with server payments, such as those we would incur with platforms like WordPress. I appreciate the templates in Strapi, which significantly speed up the process of defining our project's structure, eliminating the need to delve into coding. This feature is particularly advantageous because it simplifies the setup process, allowing for a more efficient workflow.

Negative: I find the deployment process using GitHub and requiring a manual install initially to be cumbersome. This approach introduces extra steps, which can be quite daunting for non-technical users, effectively acting as a barrier.

Summary: Excellent headless CMS delivering developer-friendly APIs, powerful customization, and dependable support; suitable for most projects, enterprise-ready with maturity and scalability

Positive: Robust headless CMS with intuitive admin UI, flexible APIs, strong plugin ecosystem, great documentation, reliable community support and responsive updates

Negative: Self-hosting requires maintenance, initial configuration complexity, occasional breaking changes, plugin compatibility gaps, enterprise features behind paid plans and learning curve

Summary: Strapi Cloud has streamlined our entire content and data management process. As a nonprofit, we appreciate how it combines essential tools—like payments, analytics, and content editing—into one affordable, easy-to-use platform. It’s helped us save time, reduce costs, and focus more on our mission.

Positive: Strapi Cloud has been a game-changer for our nonprofit—easy to use, flexible, and perfect for managing content efficiently without needing a large tech team.
The low prices of Strapi Cloud free up valuable resources, allowing our nonprofit to invest more in community programs, outreach efforts, and direct support for those we serve.

Negative: Not any as now but just one downside is the limited built-in analytics, which means we rely on external tools to track content performance and user engagement.

Summary: Strapi has been a great choice for our organization. It helped us quickly launch a robust backend with minimal effort and gave us full control over our content structure. Highly recommended for teams that value flexibility and developer experience.

Positive: Strapi is intuitive and easy to set up. The admin panel is clean, and role-based permissions are very helpful.

Negative: Some advanced features (like complex filtering or multilingual support) require manual setup or custom plugins, which might be tricky for non-devs.

Summary: Overall I totally recommend Strapi to manage content for a production grade web solution.
Strapi flexibility is great allowing me to cover edge cases

Positive: Since day one Strapi shows itself as a great headless CMS offering ready to use production grade features such as internationalisation and content management.
Their API is very easy to use and in case of any doubt community is quick and supportive in their answers.
Support also proved to be helpful and professional

Negative: Price might be a problem for very small businesses.
