A good product that helps me to manage complex digital solutions
My advice to others would be that Drupal is not only a CMS, you need to learn the Drupal fundamentals before to start the project. Drupal is a handy tool whenever you work on a digital infrastructure broad project and not only a simple website. So if you have a big project, you can use Drupal. But if you have a small website, like a blog or simple website, my advice would be not to use Drupal, because Drupal is too complex and the cost to maintain the platform can be too high, related to the value of your website, for example. If you have a website with a big product catalog, for example, in many languages and in many countries in the world, then Drupal is good. But if you have a simple website, like a portfolio or five page-website, you can use many other technologies that'd be simple to maintain and implement. On a scale from one to 10, I will rate Drupal an eight. In the next release, I would like to see basic page buttons and better integration with the analytics platform. A drag and drop function to create simple pages will also be handy. For example, if a customer wants to create a landing page, it should be easy for him or her to do so. I would also like to see better translation management.

Rapid landing page creation has boosted targeted campaigns and improved conversion tracking
Everything is actually great with Storyblok. One small improvement that Storyblok could make is that some of the more advanced configurations still require the help of our developers. It is not 100% developer free for us. This could be improved and made easier for non-technical people to do the work without the dependency of developers. Apart from that, I do not have any other major complaints or issues with Storyblok. In terms of knowledge-based documents, there are a lot of gaps in the knowledge-based documents that are available. A lot more work needs to be done there. Apart from that, the platform is very intuitive and very easy to learn, so we don't have any major issues regarding that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Drupal always rises above for a large scale contributor base, general security, and lack of vulnerabilities."
"We have built a production ready, heavy content website using this product within two to three months."
"It is good for big projects."
"Drupal is the opposite, since it is not closed software and it does not rely on only one company."
"Drupal could be chosen not only for its adaptability and ability to tackle big website projects, but for its core functionalities, which are unmatched in the free software CMS world."
"Views, terms, panels, and entity conception. It is a very useful and fast solution to build successful web applications."
"Its scalability, content management practices, security and the community are valuable features."
"The ability to create a complex website with a few developments is the most valuable feature, that's what got me started."
"Storyblok gives us the flexibility to rapidly respond to client needs because every client project is going to be different, and it allows us to manage that in a simple interface which we love and our clients love too."
"The return on investment helps me scale my business; without it, I would not even exist probably, so the return on investment is huge."
"With the help of Storyblok, we are now able to create landing pages in 20 minutes, whereas earlier it took around five to six hours, and overall, a 70% reduction in our overall deployment time has been achieved along with a 50% increase in our overall sales and revenue after the introduction of Storyblok."
"Storyblok has positively impacted our organization by helping our clients move away from traditional CMS and achieve a high-performance website along with reduced costs."
"Storyblok has positively impacted my organization because we delivered this website to a very important customer, and they were very happy with the management system."
"Most of the clients need to have full control over their websites, and this provides them with the biggest freedom, along with the live preview."
"The best features Storyblok offers are the blocks building, how easy it is to use, the tag management, and the ability to easily manage pictures and assets in general."
"Storyblok has positively impacted our organization by helping us do projects in a certain way with its really great features."
 

Cons

"There were some stability issues, i.e., only with the new version, the main changes are not stable."
"Drupal community and forums are not as easy and straightforward as Wordpress, the number of areas covered by existing plugins should be larger, and it is resource hungry compared to Wordpress."
"It needs a shorter learning curve."
"Admin Interface: You'll often hear that Drupal has a pretty high learning curve."
"The technical support is below average as compared to all the other products."
"We had some stability issues."
"Unfortunately, with Drupal, there is a number of learning paradigms that you have to discover, which can make it difficult to understand as a newcomer."
"It needs a better UI for the back-end user."
"I chose eight for my rating because I believe Storyblok still needs to work on localization, slugs, auto-translate, and all the plugins related to this part."
"Storyblok can be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of schema creation, and it could also possibly improve the way assets are saved and persisted."
"I believe there are some parts that definitely can be improved inside Storyblok, such as the way content is listed out in certain areas, which makes it a little difficult to delete content."
"Also, the pricing is a little expensive, but the features offered justify the cost."
"The only downside I would mention about my use of Storyblok in these projects was the cache management system that Storyblok has; it was not very good, but all the rest was amazing."
"They did change the pricing about 18 months ago, and at the lowest paid tier, they did take away a bit of the features or the number of seats you can get, so it can get expensive quickly, which is an issue when you're working with smaller clients who still want to have some flexibility."
"I think Storyblok is the best CMS out there; however, I would rate it a nine because there is still room for improvement, particularly with the documentation."
