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.

It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The return on investment helps me scale my business; without it, I would not even exist probably, so the return on investment is huge."
"Storyblok has positively impacted our organization by helping us do projects in a certain way with its really great features."
"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 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."
"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."
"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."
"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."
"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."
"The community is enormous and everyone is very helpful, and other people have problems already solved."
"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"
"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"Also, the pricing is a little expensive, but the features offered justify the cost."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented."
"We are facing issues with outdated plugins and shared hosting security issues, only if WordPress is implemented in dedicated environment it is highly secure."
"No option to monetize the website (Affiliated links or Advertisements)."
"As website content and number of visits grow, one does recognize scalability issues for websites on shared hosting."
"The code behind a WP theme is not easy to modify in case you need additional features not provided by the theme."
