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 is a very capable, enterprise level CMS. It meets the needs for any integration, complex data structures, complicated content governance requirements while maintaining best practices and performance KPIs. It's open source and free to use so there are no addtional licensing fees fto implement or host. There's some initiative underway to integrate AI tools for building sites and entering content that seems really promising as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? The learning curve is steep for new developers or end users so onboarding can be difficult if you don't have a team around you to help. The UI/UX for content entry has historically been very much complex form based and while there are efforts to move beyond this with canvas Drupal is still playing catch up when compared with other CMSs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you? Drupal is a great fit for sites that require complex content data structures and integrations with APIs or other external data sources. If there isn’t already a module for a specific integration, you can usually implement it yourself—as long as you know what you’re doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drupal is a very advanced CMS platform for building your website. it has nice customized themes and different features which make your website very very functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? The update is a hassle in drupal. If you choose to update the version automatically, it messes with the custom features often and that affects the performance of the website. Also, it is not very user friendly like other CMS. It is difficult to use for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Drupal: This platform offers a wide variety of customization, integration option which is great but at the same time, it can be complex for the new users sometimes- especially the navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you? I don't think that I have ever solved any problem with Drupal.

For some things, Drupal is incredibly fast and simple to use. I can post an event to our website, or make an edit in minutes. The resulting website is also incredibly polished and professional looking. It is also useful as a very large institution incorporate multiple independent entities that are quite large in and of themselves, to be able to display a simultaneously unified and diversified appearance between their individual sites, but also to share a common system with common features, to allow for instances of collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? If you come in to a website that has been created by someone else, or worse by several individuals over the course of years, it can be next to impossible to find some things. There are multiple ways to create a page, and depending upon which method they used, that particular section of text that you want to edit could be buried in any number of locations. Some of these locations are in and of themselves buried within a labyrinthine interface. Some pieces of content actually exist and must be edited in multiple locations. We struggle in particular with a lack of archiving ability on certain features, so we must leave it on the site indefinitely or delete it and lose the record. Drupal's interface, and text editor in particular, is also limited in terms of content styling - I had to use html just to change the font color of a phrase. We actually needed to employ third party development assistance just to add an additional social media icon - this was not something our communications team was able to use the admin interface alone to add. Finally, Drupal struggles with a lot of different file formats, as far as uploading is concerned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you? We rely on our website to get our work out to new audiences, and keep our current audiences engaged in what we do. Drupal makes the pathway for your most regularly posted pieces of content, like events and stories, readily accessible to allow for a constant and steady stream of updates, ensuring the full range of our activity is highly visible and our site is always current and up to the minute.

I like that the administrator can have a variety of users with a broad spectrum of capabilities. If I only want a user to change photos or images on a certain page, I can limit them to that and not have to be concerned that they could even touch the original. This CMS is better when it comes to large scale organizations' needs. I like that it can be customized by the user / developer and that it is so powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? What I dislike - which keeps me from using it anymore - there are limitations to the amount of plugins and themes compared to WordPress. Additionally, the complexity of this CMS provides such a steep learning curve that it is difficult to teach this to university students (and that is my profession). It isn't that themes don't exist, they do - however they are very pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Drupal: If you are considering Drupal, do so only if you have extra time, coding experience, and a good understanding of how CMS' work. I would suggest that you view other sites that have used it and see what you like and/or dislike - then, if possible, contact the web developer and ask some questions that may lead you into using it or not. At least you will have some insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you? Providing a website for clients that will allow the client to take over once the development has been completed and accepted. Additionally, it is a CMS to introduce to university students that are unaware of what a CMS is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works well for our website. It allows us to make more custom changes to our site and go beyond basic CMS capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Drupal? Oftentimes things are hard to find. It's not always straightforward to find exactly where you go to edit a certain header or text box, and simple edits can take up more time and resources than it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Drupal for our website CMS. Our developers built our new site on the CMS since it allows for more custom changes and more technical adjustments.
