Working with Directus has saved us over 4 months of development work. Since launching in Directus, we have decreased our technical support needs 3x compared to our old system. Now we can focus on what's next, instead of what's broken.

Excellent CMS, user-friendly and it is very easy to manage data with the API. So far I have 4 projects in production that are related to Directus and I want to praise the team behind the whole story. As a very important thing, I can single out flows and transparency admin dashboard.

I discovered Directus few years ago when it was written in PHP. Since then, I use it for nearly all the websites I do. It has all the features that me and my clients want to manage their content, a beautiful and easy-to-use interface without non-wanted things. I use it with tools like Astro, Nuxt and other SSR/SSG engines and it's amazing. Thank you for your awesome work.
