I like that Directus is free and open source, with an active community over Slack and that the software evolves very quickly.

Truly open source gives commercial products a run for their money, super helpful community, rapid development, easy customization.

Its  super easy to pull it locally and connect it to your existing api if you need to fiddle with it. It also has a very modern design which is appealing.

Often new bugs in new releases. Many things missing in the documentation.

It´s a great experience to work with directus as it is a free tool that can be used for clients as well as developers in a friendly way.

The overall App and API are outstanding and highly flexible for all kind of project.

Since the project is Open-Source and community-driven, it's a bit hard to get support for very specific problems. Sometimes nobody responded to my questions on the official Slack channel.

Very happy with Directus, it's an upgrade over the solutions we used before that.

I am learning more Directus for now, it is simply sexy and ease to use for my new projects in the future.

The best thing about Directus is the community. It is great to be able to ask questions and get a real person to walk you through a solution.

Version 7 was great and now we're about to upgrade some of our projects to Version 8 (the demo looks awesome so far).

Bugs get fixed quite fast, and there is an active community. The software brings a ready-to-use REST- and GraphQL-API and permission management.

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.

There is a good extensions support for both APP and API. Easy deployement with Docker.

Friendly, helpful, understanding. Just out of a sense of loyalty to such good people, I will want to stay with them.

Overall impression (on our initial evaluation) was that someone really invested lot of time and thought into it.

Directus supports both Graphql  API and REST API. It is flexible and powerful that I can connect to any JAMstack site.

We really appreciate the efforts of RangerStudio to produce such a stable piece of Open Source software, which also can withstand production use cases with ease.

No Spatial Data Types (searching by distance is not possible).

I use it for customer projects whit a lower budget. I can save the time for backend development.

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.

The interface is so user friendly and has a solid and highly customizable backend for all the needs.

The software is easy to configure and the community is very active continously improving the available functionalities and solving known issues.

With Directus I could built an MVP from zero to hero in a few days. It's user interface is pretty friendly and it's community on discord is amazing.

Easy to use initial configuration SQL for REST API  & GraphQL.

The main problem are sql queries, there was a lot of bugs when tried to create/update data or fields. If you enable cache (via redis for example) login is broken.

No option for push pull control of database for offline usage.

It has some minor UI errors, but the team fixes them daily. Some features you need functional.

The beautiful design, the excellent community support, ease of deployment. In short, what's not to like.

We've pinpointed bad time to start with it. Directus Team just started rolling out v8 where available documentation was for v7.

It is also versatile and open-source, making it possible to write extensions. The maintainers are super active on their Discord community and are super friendly.

We use directus for rapid database management, and for API endpoints to the data. We are customizing the solution to better fit with our needs and it works great.

I love having the ability to create EXACTLY my Interface in the Backend as i needed.

No instructions, no link or web URL for the client to navigate to and certainly no instructions at all. This might be one of the most poorly designed things in Doc-it.

A very good document managment product with good support team. I find there is still growth to come.

It was very user friendly and easy to navigate. Really easy to organize thoughts and workpapers.

Good Tax Database for Small to Medium Sized Firms.

Still confused in the UI why you can access an archive via the archive explorer or binder explorer, and both can be made to have the same layout.

The integration with caseware for each of printing and the ease to which PDF documents can be marked up. Works well in the field as well.

The best feature is the quick accessibility of documents.

It Suite ensure that my work day is efficient and effective when it comes to document sorting and progress.

It is very feature rich. In an attempt to modernize our office our first challenge was how to go about turning dozens of filing cabinets into a virtual, paperless environment.

Feels like they take a true vested interest in your satisfaction. You don't feel like you're dealing with a large tech company, but a family business.

The updated calculator is horrible. Also, the program has become less user-friendly after the updates.

The ability to annotate and mark-up documents with ease and allows paperless record keeping. The customer support is great when any issues result.

Updates are easy and support is always offered to help you initiate any updates.

It Suite is the ability to organize the files that I use. You can also set rules on each of your files to ensure that no one can edit or comment on what you upload.

Customer Support is stellar. Offers more  features and functionality without add-ons than the competition.

It team has proven to be very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended software.

Most exciting, the PDF Editor/viewer is included. For less then the cost of one Acrobat license, I get a very comparable PDF Editor plus so much more.

It was slow and ocassionally would lock me out of excel workbooks. Some data would get trapped if I accidentally opened a workpaper twice.

It crashes when I try to drag and drop from Outlook email. It crashes when I try to send an email with password protection and I drag and drop the protected pdf icon too quickly.

The best part of Doc It is its document organization. The archive and the editor are also excellent tools for any office.

The software is user friendly and is logically organized and the user can customize. The PDF editor is also great...easy to use and applicable to people that work in tax and accounting.

Clients tend to disregard the notifications as spam. Job Queue could be more user-friendly and offer more options.

Or opening a document and turning on bookmarks. The portal setup for a client and related instructions are utterly useless.

The integration between Scanning, OCR & archive is useful. Work in process binders helped clean up and organize document storage.

Doc-It  continually makes a better product at a better price and supports it well.

Directus is a cloud-based headless content management system (CMS), which helps businesses connect custom SQL databases with dynamic API and view and manage database content. Features include customizable branding, bookmarking, revisions and rollback, single sign-on (SSO), status tracking, multi-language and data filtering. 


The application comes with pre-defined content authoring workflows, which enable supervisors to set project statuses as a draft, under-review, published or soft-delete along with role-based permissions for users. Directus API imitates actual SQL database schema by using the database mirroring feature and triggers custom code through event and webhooks. Professionals can create or delete projects consisting of database, storage adapter, and configuration file and hide names by building private projects. 


With its digital asset management module, users can store files, scrape metadata and create automated thumbnails of higher resolution images. Directus is a free and open-source platform. Support for the solution is provided via documentation and discussion forums.
