Sr. Director, Content Engineering Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/19/2024 More Options - "Directus is the GOAT" 5/5 What do you like best about Directus? DIrectus thought of everything to make an extremely versatile tool! I have had the most amazing experience dealing with the team, they've supported us through and through and offered a product that is literally a blank slate for any use case, but with the bells & whistles unmatched by other products out there on the market for a fraction of the cost. I love using the data model, the flows, and of course the flexibility of extensions and configurations of not only the app but what it can power. We've been able to support almost anything our internal stakeholders can dream up which has levelled up our innovation and efficiency. Thank you, Directus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
