Director Product and Technology Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best headless CMS on the market - powered by Open-Source" April 19, 2021 5.0 I loved the previous versions, but especially the new V9 really excites me. I never experienced any smoother experience setting up any content management system (including the old guys like WordPress or Drupal). From a product and/or IT lead perspective, it brings you so much power for so many use cases - without a huge price tag or complexity. Pros It is free, if you are able to host it yourself! It is completely white-label, which makes your employees love it even more. It is perfectly customizable. In case you miss something, you can easily jump on the train and add it for your project - or all Directus users (contributing in the open-source community). If you want it fully managed, there is a cloud-version at a fair price (cheap compared to others) too. Cons Potential con for some people: The PHP version got more or less deprecated. There might be one version again, but focus is definitely with NodeJS. If you want to host it yourself and are not able to run Node or Docker, you might run into problems. File management could be better and more customizable (in terms of conditional rules how uploads get processed per collection and field). Alternatives considered [Drupal](https://www.capterra.com/p/119594/Drupal/)[Webflow](https://www.capterra.com/p/136159/Webflow/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[Butter CMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/150481/Butter-CMS/)[Strapi](https://www.capterra.com/p/170599/Strapi/) Reason for choosing Directus One though, of course, always is, if those guys are able to maintain their speed and perfection. Especially compared to better funded companies. The answer lies within the dynamic open-source approach. It enables the tool to benefit from the community to keep up with things like Contentful. At the same time, it is also some kind of guarantee for the future. While every company might get closed down in the future, open-source lives on. Picturing the worst case, you could still take over and manage it all by yourself. Other tools simply go offline and bring you headaches. This, combined with the awesome feature set (see pros) and the beautiful UI, puts it above the mentioned Contentful, but also tools like Strapi or GraphCMS. I skip the part, why headless "kills" full CMS like WordPress ;). And, of course, this kind of tool provides you with more flexibility than complete no-code-solutions like Webflow or Squarespace (but this would be an unfair comparison anyway). Review Source DC Daniel C. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great platform leveraged as a headless CMS" October 5, 2023 5.0 Pros After reviewing and trying a few headless CMS’, we selected Directus. We found that Directus was a comprehensive, feature rich, well supported and intuitive. The main differentiator for us was their implementation of a multi tenancy solution. I would highly recommend this platform to anyone who is looking to deliver a single CMS product across multiple organisation with discrete and granular controls and permissions. Cons They’ve increased (not by that much) their lowest tier pricing. For us the previous pricing was a low barrier for entry for a lot of rich features. However saying that for the new pricing you are still receiving a lot of value. Switched from [Contentful](https://www.capterra.com/p/134266/Contentful/) Multi tenancy was better implemented in Directus Review Source DL Davide L. Front-end developer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic concept, medium user experience" February 6, 2020 3.0 Until now the experience is good: I like the idea and it works for the project that we started with Directus. We still need to resolve some issues, like how to properly manage pages and SEO data or how to overcome the lack of the repeater field, but it's working well. The experience with the support was fantastic. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was kind and friendly, in spite of my incompetence. I appreciate the enthusiasm and the open source spirit. Sometimes I experienced some limits for the reasons mentioned early, but I'm happy. Pros I love the concept behind Directus: the idea to freely create a database in an easy way, organizing the content as you need or as you imagined it. I come from Kirby CM and Craft CMS and doing websites in which the custom design is the key, it's important to us to shape our content as we want. It's easy to install, the Slack support is friendly and helpful. In the search for the perfect headless CMS solution, it was my choice, also because it's open source and at the moment the pricing of others options is over budget for our clients. We were ok paying a fee for a license, but not a perpetual subscription. Moreover, a key point in the decision to adopt it is the self-hosted solution: we wanted to avoid every possible lock-in. Finally, the stack: working in a communication agency, we are not software engineers: PHP + Vue.js it's a perfect combination. React and node.js onthe server was a switch too big to take another leap. Cons Above all, the bugs: being open source and free it's normal, but it is frustrating in the measure we decided to use it for clients works. Second: the lack of documentation for the interfaces or for the detailed use of the JS SDK. Moreover, sometimes I felt overwhelmed by the technical details of the interface. I don't have competence in relational databases and to me too much things doesn't have a meaning. But I'm mainly a front-end developer that try to be "independent", so I think that it's normal. Finally: the lack of a good repeater. At the moment it's impossible to use a file field in it, or to repeat a group of field. For us it's almost a strict requirement for clients projects. Reason for choosing Directus For the pricing, but above all for the requirement of our managers to have the code and the data on our servers. In addition to that, the idea to have the opportunity to customize it was very important. But please, takes Dato CMS as a reference: it has everything a digital agency could dream! Review Source Response from Monospace Inc March 3, 2021 Hi Davide, thank you very much for your review of Directus 8. Over the past year, we've worked nonstop on bug fixes and improvements to our open-source platform. Now on Directus 9 (a major release since your review, and now in node.js), we'd love the opportunity for you to take another look. Our open-source platform is far more stable now, thanks to the full API rewrite, and also includes the Repeater interface you were looking for. Hopefully you'll consider checking out the latest release of Directus and updating your review to reflect this improved version. :) VR Verified Reviewer frontend developer Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great headless CMS" February 6, 2020 4.0 Pros You can manage your collections and content through good looking administration, you create (even complex) relationships between the collections, there is a support to manage localized content. Your content is served through REST or GraphQL API that is simple learn. Good support of roles and permissions who can consume the content through API. There is a good extensions support for both APP and API. Easy deployement with Docker. Cons Performance of API calls for more complex data (relation) can be a bit sluggish, but it can be solved by setting up cache. There are bugs that take a long time to solve. GraphQL API has still lacking features compared to REST API. Alternatives considered [Strapi](https://www.capterra.com/p/170599/Strapi/) Reason for choosing Directus They don't have localization support for content Review Source Response from Monospace Inc March 3, 2021 Hello, and thank you very much for your review of Directus 8. Over the past year, we've worked nonstop on bug fixes, Docs, and improvements to our open-source platform. Now on Directus 9 (a major release since your review, and now in node.js), we'd love the opportunity for you to take another look. Some of the biggest improvements have been in the API's performance (even without the new Redis/Memory cache support). Our GraphQL API is also a lot further along now compared to the REST API. Hopefully you'll consider checking out the latest release of Directus and updating your review to reflect this improved version. :) Alejandro B. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent headless CMS " February 13, 2020 5.0 I have a very difficult multi-platform usecase involving languages from R/Python, reproducible data slicing, on the fly dataset creation all the way to front-end react, pregenerated app (gatsby) in a single build command. Directus is my sole source of truth, what I use to back this whole thing. This allows me to use the same translations and metadata for everything no matter if I am in R or Javascript consuming graphql, either on production client code or in static pregeneration stage in gatsby. There are other headless apis that can do this, but I cannot self host them and I need to be able to very quickly generate large datasets on the database as I research and tear them down in the same base as the CMS for the app. That is, I need this to run on my computer first. This is where directus knocked it out of the park for me. Also, docker setup is touch and go. Nothing needed. It is just great. Pros This is Free and Open Source Software at its best. Directus has a great, well tended community, excellent developers, many options and lots of friendly answers to real questions. I have not found any other headless API I can self host in amazon or wherever I want. This makes for a local development cycle, short time to market, very easy to prototybe setup for example for react/gatsby apps. Cons The app where you manage the database still needs a bit more documentation. It does not lack features, but some features lack propper documentation. I hope to help on this in the future! Alternatives considered [Netlify](https://www.capterra.com/p/154989/Netlify/) Reason for choosing Directus I tested all headless cms apis out there (cant remember the names of all of them). None of them fit my use case. Review Source IG Ignacio G. Head of Delivery Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best headless open source CMS" February 6, 2020 4.0 We're creating a completely custom web in which you can reuse components. Pros It's community support, open-source, and features. Nothing to envy from really expensive proprietary CMS. Cons Breaking changes in updates, lack of Many to Any support on App, failures updating large datasets with relationships, lack of a tool to perform migrations between environments and long URLs to consume. All of which are getting addressed at the moment :) Switched from [Strapi](https://www.capterra.com/p/170599/Strapi/) We had proposed Strapi to implement the solution because on paper was better, but once we started using it we got into many issues and features that at the moment weren't there. We tried directus and, even though at the moment was also lacking some things, got convinced quickly. Review Source Response from Monospace Inc March 3, 2021 Hi Ignacio, thank you very much for your review of Directus 8. Over the past year, we've worked nonstop on bug fixes, Docs, and improvements to our open-source platform. Now on Directus 9 (a major release since your review, and now in node.js), we'd love the opportunity for you to take another look. We've specifically addressed many of your Cons, including the very powerful many-to-any relationship type! Our open-source platform is also far more stable now, thanks to the full refactor.

Senior Software Engineer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product that is still young" February 6, 2020 5.0 We had departments using many different CMS's. They ranged from extremely expensive to open source projects. While Directus is not perfect, it has proven to be better than all the others. We have actively tried to improve the product, and we find that the others in the community do the same. Also, and this is a HUGE value, the response to questions and issues within the Directus-Slack channel is amazing! Actually, the communication and support from this organization is impeccable. Friendly, helpful, understanding. Just out of a sense of loyalty to such good people, I will want to stay with them. Pros The interface is very friendly, and as the product matures, the installation is becoming better. Cons This is not an enterprise-level application, yet. It has a number of tiny gotchas that one has to learn about. One can still do most anything they desire. Alternatives considered [Adobe Experience Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/142300/Adobe-Experience-Manager/) Reason for choosing Directus Regarding Adobe -- a CMS should have a small learning curve. With better documentation, Directus will be a product that is quickly adapted to any organization. Regarding Umbraco -- the decision here is hard to explain. We just found Directus to work better for us in more situations. Review Source RW Rémi W. Developper Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Directus, your friend and your first backend services (headless cms)" February 6, 2020 4.0 We build our api with the minimum technical ressources. Since I'm the only dev, it allow me to stay focus on the main product. A must have for starting projects. Pros Directus will allow you to create instant database with all security layers you may need for an api (auth, ...) Cons The data ownership by users is quite a pain (e.g : You want to create an item through a webhook and attribute it to a specific user) and user registration through api require some custom code to follow your expectation. Reason for choosing Directus Directus is open source, can be hosted and works well with Docker. Switched from [Strapi](https://www.capterra.com/p/170599/Strapi/) Stronger than the previous one with more functionalities Review Source Response from Monospace Inc March 3, 2021 Hi Remi, thank you very much for your review of Directus 8.

CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the greats" February 19, 2021 5.0 Pros I'll start with the flexibility, you can create and edit every table in real-time and in an easy-to-use GUI. Best part is this can be clamped onto any SQL database and it will just start working then you can setup the table existing into the software. Cons Well I mean it's not quite and intuitive as something like WordPress but point people in the correct direction and they soon get the hang of it Alternatives considered [Strapi](https://www.capterra.com/p/170599/Strapi/)[Contentful](https://www.capterra.com/p/134266/Contentful/) Reason for choosing Directus Simple to use compared to other platforms and the awesome community support from them! Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Limitations in WordPress and customisability you just can't, won't, and will never get with that platform.

Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome piece of software" February 19, 2021 5.0 I've had to learn express and knex to implement custom endpoints and I really enjoy doing things this way. I also started using it's javascript sdk client and it's simply awesome! Pros It's really easy to setup and encourages to learn new technologies Cons It's not really done yet, I mean Directus is switching from PHP to Nodejs and this is a long proccess that is still happening and the documentation is not complete yet. Alternatives considered [Storyblok](https://www.capterra.com/p/213991/Storyblok/)[Strapi](https://www.capterra.com/p/170599/Strapi/) Reason for choosing Directus The price, the options and the possibility to run it locally Switched from [Strapi](https://www.capterra.com/p/170599/Strapi/) Limit of roles available Review Source AB Artem B.

Front-end developper Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A very good admin basic system" June 11, 2021 5.0 Pros The easily AND possibilities of doing whatever we want with. With the last version, we can do everything we imagine. This was not possible with the previous version, we met problems, but the last one resolves all problems. (we add problems with multi tables connection in database, M2A, M2M, etc.) Cons If we create some fields, some can't be edited, we can only delete theses and do it again. Switched from [October CMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/230656/October/) October is very good, more accessible for customers who wants a simple interface, but restrictive about permissions and simplier. October has his advantages with simplicity, but has the same limit. Directus is limitless, and that is his strong.

Pros it's for free. You can customize any data. Cons whenever there is a new version some of the items some functionalities doesn´t work.

February 6, 2020 4.0 Overall Directus has been great. Pros Pretty Easy to setup. Conceptually it's easy to understand, just a wrapper on mySQL. Very powerful API Very easy to use admin interface. Cons There's a considerable number of bugs, and some features just flat out don't work anymore (caching). The documentation for docker wasn't great, but it is getting better! PHP isn't that fast, I haven't been able to get sub 100ms response times. PHP isn't a well loved language anymore, and fewer developers know it each year.

And it's our go-to CMS for anything bespoke. It's even more customizable than many paid competitors around that we tried. Pros Extremely pleased and surprised that this a open-source software. The features provided out of the box is extremely robust and reliable. I've never had an issue with it and have been onboarding a lot of clients to switch to Directus from other CMSes for the past few years.

Pros Directus is Open-Source and provides an easy-to-use interface that allows myself and my users to navigate the system and update data and content as needed. The Rest API is well-documented making integration into any system very easy! I love being able to get setup with a new project in minutes rather than hours. Cons There's nothing I don't love about Directus, there's always something that could be added to make the product better, but it all requires financing and I can't complain when it's free Reason for choosing Directus The cost of the product was a defining factor for me, I much prefered an Open-Source product that I could contribute back to!

I have created related collections in the Admin panel, and now the 1 or 2 admins who add new recorded alks can add a series easily, add a speaker easily, add a category easily, and then add a lecture - using a dropdown to select which speaker, topic, category, and series this lecture belongs to. Now the management of organizing these assets can be handled by anyone who knows how to use a web browser! Pros The admin panel has an intuitive interface for managing database relationships (collections), users, fields for your data types. I feel excited to present my non-technical media producers with a way to add their media files, tag them appropriately by creator, relate them to 'topics' stored another table, and be able to update and add new topics with no technical expertise. Cons I had some challenges in setup that came down to outdated or incomplete documentation, but that may also be lack of experience on my side. Perhaps some things that were not explicit were actually expected knowledge that I was lacking.

Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Directus: A Rapid, Hands-Off-Your-Data, Headless CMS" February 6, 2020 5.0 Directus is fantastic for both building out databases without the tedious headaches of old, and for allowing end-users to manage and post content. There's a field for pretty much every scenario, and if there isn't one, the platform is built in a way that's extensible. The bonus on top of everything is the built-in API, which allows me to get projects up and running and cut out basically two thirds of application development. With Directus, I only have to worry about building the front-end—it's nice to know that I have the backing of an entire system as the other half of my team! Pros I am impressed with the continuous development of Directus and the commitment to deploying frequently. There are always new features and fixes and the team releases at a pace that would make a commercial team sweat, let alone an Open-Source team. Cons The only challenge I faced while setting up Directus was a little confusion about the config of setting up multiple projects on the same install. However, the documentation was thorough and the Slack talkative, and I was soon up and running with a shared instance that eliminates the maintenance of multiple instances.

After getting things set up, the speed for iterating is unparalleled, and I can make changes to the underlying UML and the admin panel and the API within seconds.
