Drupal Reviews & Product Details

Our company loves the levels of options for our website. Pretty much everything is custom built and gives a larges number of web options for exactly the tools we need to exist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With anything that's very customizable, there come several drawbacks. First of all, it's expensive and time-consuming to create a site from scratch. You also have to trust your developers since there have been issues of not knowing all of our choices (or choices being made in the design process we would have done differently). In the end it's like having a baby website, with a lot of growing pains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drupal gives you complete control over your website / application's data model. It includes core features for modeling and delivering content, but its contributed module ecosystem offers so much more. We've created complex intranets, eCommerce applications, B2B purchasing platforms, and more. Our sites use Drupal full-stack or as an API backend for custom JavaScript applications. That freedom / self-determination is what we value, and the tooling built up around Drupal over the years makes it much easier to maintain that it ever was before.

The primary downside for a development-focused team like ours is that you do have to maintain what you build in perpetuity. There is no autopilot, no one else staying on top of your application for you. For simple sites, the overhead may not be worth it, but we typically have an ongoing relationship with our customers such that maintenance is performed alongside the continuous delivery of new features.

I love the security that Drupal offers and the clean look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish it was a little more adaptable for videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drupal has a lot of capabilities and is an intuitive to use content management system. As long as you have the web development resources needed to configure and code things the way you need them and implement the best modules for the functionality you desire, it is a good too. The workflows we implemented have been helpful so all edits can be reviewed and approved (or kicked back) before publishing content. On a large website with a lot of editors, the workflows are a great feature to control the site from getting out of control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With limited IT development resources at times, it is challenging to implement changes sometimes - more so than more 'out of the box' CMS I have used in the past that are configured to meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drupal is a content management system, where we can have large number of content managed easily, can connect to different servers simultaneously, if handled and implemented carefully it can be highly scalable and serve requests in milliseconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The DB is very costly, handling DB with drupal can be a tedious task at the enterprises level, it requires a special type of deployment file and has to run some scripts for configuration copying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a versatile website-building tool but is also easy to use at the same time. I frequently use it in my current role to update, design, and develop web pages. It's a great platform to build a website on right now! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to other more visual development platforms, it's a little outdated when updating a page, saving it, and previewing the changes. Most website builders now are simple drag and drop, which I think Drupal could do better to adapt to make the overall experience for its users better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drupal is an open-source platform that eliminates costly licensing fees. It is well maintained by a dedicated group of developers that not only keep the code up-to-date but monitor contributions for security risks and issues. All contributed modules are found in on common location. It gives the developer almost total freedom to display output in the manner required by the situation.

Being a smaller community answers can sometimes be more difficult to find in common locations such as Stack. While it is still attempting to find a good solution, it lacks the page-building qualities of some of the other popular CMS solutions that content editors desire.

Few things I like about drupal the most are :

1. First things first, it's an open-source platform where I can manage things according to my needs and requirements.

2. Update they bring at regular intervals seems annoying at first impressions, but once you get used to the platform, these updates help you to manage things in a very effective way.

3. It has a built-in roles management system that allows the admin to authorize every user to a different level of role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apart from all these likes, there are some segments on which I think drupal may improve on :

1. The formost thing, it doesn't have a good UI/UX interface. A new person will face a reck of issues when trying to command a new site.

2. If you don't know the exact configuration it may effect your website speed and there is no documentation regarding how to fix the effecency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
