Challenges with Uniform
Uniform’s biggest problem is the price of admission. And once you're in, good luck breezing through the learning curve. Teams consistently need workshops, onboarding sessions, and a few existential crises to get comfortable with its orchestration layer.
Because it’s still a relatively young DXP, the ecosystem is thin. You won’t find the deep plugin libraries or community support you get with more established headless tools. Content teams also struggle with their mental model. Especially since the abstraction adds a layer of debugging that feels like fighting a boss battle before publishing a single page, and unless you’re on their higher tiers, expect features and limits that remind you this thing is very much built for enterprises… not anyone trying to stay under budget this decade.
Key pain points
High enterprise pricing barrier
Uniform sits behind an aggressively enterprise paywall, making even basic usage expensive unless you're already swimming in Fortune-500 budgets.
Complex learning curve
Its whole “experience orchestration” model takes time to wrap your head around. Your team won’t be productive on day one, or even week one.
Extensive training requirements
Marketers and developers both need onboarding and workflow retraining, which slows adoption and inflates your implementation cost.
Enterprise-tier feature limitations
A surprising number of essential features only unlock once you upgrade, which is frustrating when the base plan is already pricey.
Preview functionality gaps
Content creators won’t love the limited, indirect preview setup. It’s nowhere near as smooth as modern CMSes with first-class real-time preview.
Integration complexity overhead
Uniform’s abstraction layer adds mental overhead and troubleshooting work when things break, especially if you're stitching together several backend systems.
Benefits of Storyblok
If you’ve ever tried explaining “headless” to a content team and watched their eyes glaze over, Storyblok is your peace offering. On the surface, it appears to be great. For instance, its visual editor makes you feel like you are finally living in 2025. But start digging, and you’ll find some gremlins in the codebase and the pricing page. Their APIs are still missing some basic functionalities like fetching child or sibling pages.
Still, if Storyblok is your choice, we can make it work. Our team knows how to set it up cleanly, dodge the common blockers, and keep your build from turning into another “looked nice, aged badly” project.
Key advantages
Visual editing capabilities
Yes, you read that right, you can do real-time, on-page editing. Make a change, see it instantly, no staging limbo, which means you can stop “guess and publish.”
Component-based approach
You can build a component once and use it everywhere. You can also update a button or banner in one place, and the entire site fixes itself.
Efficient content structuring
Your content stays clean, organised, reusable, and not scattered across 40 pages. Developers work with structured data, editors drag-and-drop pieces like Lego. Everyone gets to stay sane.
Robust multi-language support
One CMS, many languages, zero chaos. Localise content without duplicate pages, messy exports, or spreadsheet archaeology.
Collaborative environment
Writers, designers, and editors can all jump in at the same time without breaking each other’s work. Add comments and approvals. View version histories for teamwork without the headache.
Highly customisable
If your design system can imagine it, you can use Storyblok to model it. There are custom fields, workflows, and logics that can bend to your stack rather than the other way around.
