Storyblok Software Reviews

“A unique CMS solution for web development

Pros

The setup is straightforward and user-friendly. Although the platform isn't the most visually appealing, it's lightweight and greatly simplifies task organization and delegation.

Cons

The documentation could use an update as it doesn't cover all the scenarios a user may encounter when first starting out.

“It's ok, but...

Pros

Storyblok has many impressive features. Previously, website updates required a developer, whether it was adding a landing page, modifying copy or making layout adjustments. With Storyblok, we, as marketers, could handle these tasks without needing full access to the code.

Cons

While it is easy to use, it isn't without its flaws. For example the content space reloads every time you log in. Some issues are frustrating, and I'm not sure if they stem from our developers' setup. 1. Since all blocks are developer-created, we're limited by what's available. For us, this meant being unable to add widgets with an HTML block or remove excessive white space. When developers are busy, no one is available to make these changes, as the content team can't access the code. 2. The page setup structure can be confusing. For example, enabling no index goes against other software that suggests disabling indexing. Clicking an element opens the parent block instead of the child block. Also, making global changes is difficult, requiring more developer resources.

“A user friendly and versatile content management system

Pros

A key feature of Storyblok is its visual editor, allowing non-technical users to easily create and modify content. The drag-and-drop functionality and live preview streamline the content creation process. Plus, defining custom content structures and components ensures consistency across the website or app.

Cons

I don't feel anything is missing here. The features offered make it a great choice for organizations.

“Storyblok is for every business

Pros

The platform provides an easy to use content editor that simplifies creating and editing content blocks. It takes minimal time to learn it allowing me to get started quickly. The clean and organized layout makes it easy to find the tools and features needed.

Cons

The pricing structure could be clearer and more transparent.

“It is a comprehensive content system

Pros

In my professional experience, this tool has been excellent for managing content across various media. It's versatile, serving not only marketing functions but also offering an easy and rewarding experience for new website creators and simple deployment across any organization.

Cons

I haven't found it to be complicated or unsuccessful but it's a tool designed specifically for professionals in sales and marketing.

“The most customizable, user-friendly content management software!

Pros

Storyblok provides an easy and tech-savvy way to manage content with customized software. It's user-friendly and highly stable, making it suitable for all types of businesses. It's one of the most compact tools for content services and cost optimization can be achieved within six months of use.

Cons

The interface requires a lot of manual clicking. Even small change requests take several days for the business team to resolve and stabilize. We use the library editor for editing, but it often freezes and doesn't save changes. The interface could definitely be improved to the next level.

“Don't waste your resources on this, it's full of critical bugs

Pros

It's difficult to appreciate a product when nothing seems to work and you waste time and resources trying to make it work.

Cons

This product has wasted countless hours and resources during implementation due to its many bugs. It has both a V1 and V2 beta but neither works properly. Our team of editors and developers has spent weeks struggling with it, facing bug after bug. This is expensive software, and there are better options available. Don't waste your time and resources like we did.

“A good CMS for both developers and businesses

Pros

It makes it easy to visualize your website or content without worrying about code or the final result. It supports several front-end frameworks and offers many templates to get started. For startups that handle both design and development, this can be a lifesaver. You can simply drag and drop content to preview how it will appear on the final site. It also allows for content creation for global audiences and has multiple integrations that let developers pull data using JSON APIs. The component-based structure is easy to grasp, so anyone can start quickly.

Cons

The pricing can be confusing, as some basic features require upgrading to a higher plan. The UI is also not very friendly, especially the visual editor, where there are occasional lag issues. Also managing files and categorizing assets could be more user-friendly.
