KeystoneJS

Top Con

No auto-reload and no good support for RDBMS

Does not have auto-reload in its backend. Hard to debug. Features found in document, absent in code. No enough support to PostgresQL, no automatic migration. See More

Top Pro

Keystone comes with Express already configured

Express comes out of the box already configured from Keystone or it can be treated like any other Express Middleware. See More

Specs

Database:Mongo and Postgres

Price:0

Language:NodeJS

Top Con

Support for images is only available as 'local' and Cloundinary, no S3 or other alternative

Linking images to records/data within the Keystone CMS is very convoluted and is not documented well enough for newcomers to use. See More

Top Pro

Out-of-the-box Admin UI

Keystone comes with an auto-generated Admin UI, which makes things very easy for any task that can be completed using Keystone. In any way Keystone is used, the Admin interfaces saves a lot of time and makes any job easier. See More

Top Con

It does not have a built-in roles system

Although registering a new user is very easy, there is not any roles system out-of-the-box. There is only a check box "Access keystone" which gives a user full administrative power. Adding different kind of users is only possible by editing the user data model. See More
