Pros and cons

I recommend it because it has systems that can be managed without problkema by marketing or fiction professionals responsible for business sales and content.
Storybook can be a great option for creating and producing content for developing companies and startups. Because it has a lot of flexibility for both developers and users.
Quite manageable and keep coming with novel features. High reliability on editing and formatting services of content.
I'm not going to say that Storyblok is a horrible product because it's not. It has value, and it has a market.
Clicking on an element on the page opens up the parent block rather than the child block that was being clicked.
This is inconveniencing. I often find myself feeling disappointed with the features on content delivery APIs (REST & GraphQL).

Unique CMS solution for web development

Reviewed 2 months ago

A great and simple tool, which could use documentation of the same level; lower tiers also lack some features, but overall a nice piece of software

Pros

Setup is simple, intuitive, and, while not the most visually appealing platform, it is lightweight and makes organizing and delegating tasks much easier

Cons

Could use with a revamp of the documentation, which at times don't really approach all the scenarios a user might face when getting started

Fine, but....

Reviewed a year ago

I'm not going to say that Storyblok is a horrible product because it's not. It has value, and it has a market. I would definitely work with your developers to ensure that you can adjust white space and add HTML code to avoid issues. Again, I don't know what's an issue with Storyblok vs. how our team set it up.

Pros

Storyblok has some great characteristics. In the past, website updates had to completed by a developer, regardless of whether it was adding a landing page, changing copy or making layout changes. Storyblok made it possible for us to have these capabilities as marketers without needing excessive access to the code.

Cons

Though Storyblok is easy to use, it's not without issue. There are some issues within the product itself, such as the content space reloading every single login.Other issues are more frustrating, but I also don't know if it's related to how our developers set it up. 1. Because all blocks are created by developers, it means we're restricted severely by what was loaded. In our case, it meant that things...

Robust and versatile content management system

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

One of the standout features of Storyblok is its intuitive visual editor, which allows non-technical users to create and edit content easily. The drag-and-drop functionality, along with a live preview of changes, makes the content creation process efficient and streamlined. Additionally, the ability to define custom content structures and components enables content creators to maintain consistency and structure throughout their website or application.

Cons

Here I'm not feeling any missing. Features make it an excellent choice for organizations

Complete content experience system

Reviewed 2 years ago

I recommend it because it has systems that can be managed without problkema by marketing or fiction professionals responsible for business sales and content

Pros

In my professional experience this tool has excelled in content management issues for different media, it is the type of system that can be used for marketing functions, but in general the tool is quite versatile allowing new website creators a rewarding experience and also easy deployment regardless of the organization in which you work

Cons

I have not found it unsuccessful or even complicated, it is a tool that was designed for professionals in sales and marketing.

Most customisable, user friendly software for content management of all kinds ! Try today

Reviewed 2 years ago

Good so far. Loved the features though it needs lot of improvement in experience . High reliability due to its easy to adapt features and user experience. Quite manageable and keep coming with novel features. High reliability on editing and formatting services of content.

Pros

Story and content management through customised software in easiest way Tech savvy and user friendly softwrae. Everyone can use and operate the same at all the times. Highly stable across all kinds of business environments One of the smallest tools to create and manage content services for all the businesses. Cost optimization is achieved within 6 months of its usage

Cons

There is more of manual clicking on its interface. Any small change request took their business team several days to resolve and stablise the software. We are using library editor for editing purpose. It often hangs and does not save changes while operation Interface experience could be further improved to next level.

Do not waste your resources on this software. It's filled with critical bugs.

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

It's hard to like something when nothing seems to work and you waste countless time and other resources on it.

Cons

This product has cost our business countless hours and resources in implementation due to its unparalleled level of bugs. They have a V1 and V2 beta. However, neither V1 or V2 work. Both our team of editors and developers have been rage clicking the platform for weeks now, trying their best to implement it, only to be met with one bug after another. This is expensive software and there are far better options than this. Don't waste your time and resources like we have.

Good CMS for developers and businesses

Reviewed 2 years ago

Using Storyblok has been a pleasant experience. Since we often multitask at our company as designers/developers/visualizers, Storyblok provides a platform where all these can be done in a single roof. Visulaizing content before publishing, and being able to customize it as per our client desire is very helpful.

Pros

Storyblok makes it super easy to visualize your website or content without having to worry about the code or end result. It supports various front-end frameworks and provides a huge choice of templates to start your work. For a startup where one has to manage the designing and coding part all by themselves, this can be a saving grace. You can just drag and drop your content to see how it will look on the final website. Storyblok lets us create content for a global audience. There are multiple integrations possible in their platform, so developers can easily pull data using JSON APIs. The components and blocks format is pretty easy to catch up on so anybody can easily get set and start their work.

Cons

The pricing can be a bit weird as some basic features might require you to upgrade your plan. The UI is also not very intuitive, especially the visual editor, where sometimes there have been visible lagging. Also, the file managing and categorization of assets could be made more user-friendly.

Easy and User Friendly CMS

Reviewed 3 years ago

My Overall experience is very good with Storyblok.

Pros

Storyblok is a very easy to use CMS. It has many flexible features to manage contents. There are lot's of resources on how to use CMS so that people having very minimum IT knowledge, can also use Storyblok easily. The've a great support system as well.

Cons

I think are are not many negative words to tell about Storyblok. I suggest they can make this CMS a little bit more fast.

I would love to feel more empowered as a developer.

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

The documentation is easy to follow – most of our team had not issue grasping the concepts, interface and provided tooling. The tutorials continue to be helpful for us, when new developers join our team. Where the documentation is unclear, the costumer service is able to clarify.

Cons

Assets cannot be scheduled for release, like content entries are. This is inconveniencing. I often find myself feeling disappointed with the features on content delivery APIs (REST & GraphQL). Most recent example is that most of the available filters can only perform operations where "filter = X OR Y". I would, at least expect that we're able to query the api based on "filter = X AND Y" While sparring with my clients or peers I always push for solutions that do not involve "custom fields", "sidebar apps", etc. To me, it feels too much effort for too little in return because the "ecosystem" is closed. In these moments I often find myself wishing for a dedicated API just for the web interface, instead of what is provided now.

Power while being simple with a flexible platform that has a rich editor and headless features

Reviewed 4 years ago

storybook can be a great option for creating and producing content for developing companies and startups. Because it has a lot of flexibility for both developers and users. The headless feature of this CMS is very valuable for developers and teamwork, it speeds up the operation and can be used to operate a new digital platform. You can easily generate and manage any type of content for any device. Content personalization is available due to the modular content of the blocks and the features and tools of this platform.

Pros

Generating content for an international audience through Storyblok’s internationalization and localization tools is so easy for our team. We’ve accessed our data via a meaningful GraphQL API. Also, I like StoryBlok’s Intelligence in producing and auto converting content to responsive pages and visible on all devices with any page size and resolution.

Cons

The development team is constantly making useful changes, and everything will be better if they develop UI.
