Decoupled Drupal, also known as headless Drupal, is an architectural approach that separates Drupal's backend content management system from its frontend presentation layer. This separation allows developers to use Drupal as a robust content repository while building dynamic, interactive frontends with modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue.js, or Angular. By decoupling, organizations can deliver content seamlessly across multiple channels, including websites, mobile applications, and IoT devices. Key Features and Functionality: - Content API: Drupal provides APIs such as JSON:API and GraphQL, enabling efficient content retrieval and manipulation for frontend applications. - Frontend Flexibility: Developers can choose any frontend technology, allowing for the creation of highly interactive and customized user interfaces. - Omnichannel Delivery: Content can be distributed across various platforms, ensuring a consistent user experience on web, mobile, and other digital channels. - Performance Optimization: Decoupled architectures can enhance performance by leveraging client-side rendering and integrating with content delivery networks (CDNs) for faster content delivery. - Scalability: The separation of concerns allows for independent scaling of the backend and frontend, accommodating growing user demands and traffic. Primary Value and Solutions Provided: Decoupled Drupal empowers organizations to future-proof their digital presence by enabling design refreshes without overhauling the entire CMS. It facilitates the delivery of content across multiple devices and platforms, ensuring a cohesive and engaging user experience. By leveraging Drupal's built-in caching and rendering technologies, decoupled architectures can achieve faster content delivery, enhancing overall site performance. This approach also allows development teams to work in parallel, with frontend and backend developers focusing on their respective areas, leading to more efficient development cycles and quicker time-to-market for new features. * * * Seller [Drupal](https://www.g2.com/sellers/drupal) Discussions [Drupal Community](https://www.g2.com/products/drupal/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Timothy Lehnen Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 4 months ### Return on Investment 16 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/drupal/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![WordPress.org](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "WordPress.org") WordPress.org 4.4/5(9,544) ](https://www.g2.com/products/wordpress-org/reviews) [ ![Umbraco](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Umbraco") Umbraco 4.5/5(1,011) ](https://www.g2.com/products/umbraco/reviews) [ ![Webflow](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Webflow") Webflow 4.4/5(995) ](https://www.g2.com/products/webflow/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/drupal/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 425 real user reviews.

Drupal has lots of functionality and you can do pretty much anything you can dream of - once you have developers at hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? The UX and UI of Drupal is difficult to navigate and feels like software from a decade ago. There are way better options in the marketplace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/29/2021 "A classic platform that doesn't quite hit the mark" 0/5 What do you like best about Drupal? Ease of use Drupal is one of the easiest platforms to use when it comes to web development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? Drupal lacks features and optimization that other platforms excel in. It doesn't offer enough to make you not want to use Wordpress or another platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Drupal: It is worth a shot for sure. I always tell people to try platforms and see what works for them. Drupal didn't fit my companies needs or our client's needs. It does have its qwirks but it isn't the best by any means. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you? We wanted to test out drupal and if it could be a good fit for some of our clients or even our own websites. As it is better than a lot of programs it doesn't come close to platforms like Wordpress. If you are anti-wordpress then maybe drupal could work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JZ Jianjun Jeffrey Z. Programmer/Analyst IV Higher Education Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/8/2018 "Powerful CMS for techies, but not for regular web designers" 1/5 What do you like best about Drupal? It is very powerful and flexible, and you can do a lot of customization to meet your needs. It has a large community who can provide all the help you need. There are many pre-built applications in Drupal, called distributions, so if you can download and install the distribution with all needed plugins and template, and you are ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? The learning curve is high and sometimes it requires you to know a lot about programming to achieve what you need to. The Drupal core developers don't seem to care about how to make the UI easier to use from the end user's perspective, but to focus on the functionalities. As a result, user has to spend lots of time to figure out how things are working in Drupal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Drupal: You need a dedicated personnel who knows programming in PHP to be able to maintain the website built in Drupal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you? I was trying to build a website for a small business and the business wanted to have a membership feature in their company's website. Drupal can handle users and roles easily so my client limit access to protected documents based on their roles without needing to use a third-party plugin. The plugin and template directory is not maintained well so there are many plugins and templates are outdated and it could be very confusing for a new Drupal user to choose the right plugin and template.

We use Drupal at 7-11 for content management of 711.com. I’d say Drupal is not the best at being a CMS but it’s not the worst either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? Drupal is super bloated with random half baked features and yet the smallest features take so long to develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Drupal: There so many other better CMS solutions out there. Even Wordpress at this point is better. The way to go at this time is to go to the headless CMS route. Use something like Contentful or Contentstack and get rid of the dumpster fire that is Drupal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately this software had many issues running through the one click installer on the shared server. We are only authorized 7500 PHP queries an hour and this went way above that.
