Also, there's a learning curve when it comes to creating custom plugins. > > I'm using Strapi for two projects of mine and the overall experience so far is very positive. Although, I wish the process of creating custom plugins and admin pages was easier. ----- ### "Flexible and Developer-Friendly Headless CMS" — 5.0/5 > **Nestor** | *02 January 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its flexibility and developer-friendly approach. Very easy steps to install in local environment and try it. It’s very easy to model content types and reuse them across multiple websites and applications. Very well documented. > > **Cons**: Upgrading between major versions can be challenging, especially when plugins or custom code are involved. > > My experience with Strapi has been very positive. It works especially well as a headless CMS for managing content across multiple websites and applications from a single source, that is my personal Use Case. Also, they have a very good documentation for building Docker images of the project and deploy it to AWS, that also is the case for me, so, this have been very helpful too. ----- ### "Strapi is a super flexible, low startup cost solution" — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *26 July 2024* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - The self-hosted option is simply incredible, especially for smaller companies or in our case, non-for-profit - Easy to setup, does what you need without being complicated - Third party integrations make Strapi an extremely flexible solution for many project types - The API is really easy to use, from setup to a working site in mere minutes > > **Cons**: - Documentation could be improved, especially around production deployment and a few more common use examples in the filtering/populate space ahead of the real complex examples already there e.g. relationships or depth - A type reference to explain how to use or access for example TypeScript types for things like Rich text (blocks). Shouldn't need to find solutions outside Strapi to do this. - This is the same for all CMSs. Cloud hosted plans for small businesses / non-for-profit / infrequently updated sites. > > Absolutely love it, once I found the answers to some key questions it all just worked, and I could build my first website very rapidly. Strapi was in fact the easiest thing to learn\! ----- ### "Saves me tons of time" — 5.0/5 > **Oscar** | *26 April 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy setup, complete API manager. It saves you sooo much time compared to a "normal" node backend application. > > **Cons**: The fact that Strapi has a "quick and dirty" image (and name) makes it harder to sell or mention it as part of a solution to a customer. Even though he/she may greatly benefit from it, it takes more than an average amout of convincing them Strapi can easily be considered to be coroporate grade material. ----- ### "Fantastic Open Source CMS" — 4.0/5 > **Ashok** | *20 September 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very user friendly and most important part is plugins. I love those plugins. Even there is a way for me to create a plugin. API customization is one another plus I would say and it is easier too. I was using strapi from 3.x.x till now. I'm really liked the way it evolved. > > **Cons**: Review workflow is part of enterprise plan, which atleast I believe should be given in free plan with restriction, completely removing is kind of making the opensource user to completly staying away from the feature. > > Overall experience with strapi is simply awesome ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/170599/strapi?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/170599/strapi) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
