I like that Drupal has a lot of flexibility that usually doesn't require custom coding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the complex, nested modules in edit mode. As the page gets more complex, so does the editing, you could get lost in edit mode. I also do not like that there isn't a recyle bin. Once you delete something it's gone forever. Another thing is with the abilty to find and delete files such as pdfs, WORD, EXCEL, etc. If the file is not actively being used on a page, it seems, at least from the end user's interface, that it cannot be deleted. Another thing I dislike is if I have to upload an updated file version of A pdf, i won't be able to keep the same link that people may have bookmarked. It places any files that I upoad into a new directory with the month and year in the folder structure. Other CMS systems I've used I could easily upload and overwrite an existing file and keep the file path the same not breaking the link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's open-source, extremely customizable, and can accommodate a large amount of content. It works great for our websites that require many content types, user roles and permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a learning curve when I first started using Drupal, but I was able to draw comparisons from my experience with Wordpress. It does require developers to set up the infrastructure but after that it can be very user friendly for a non-developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Drupal’s biggest advantage is its flexibility and scalability. It is a highly customizable content management system that allows organizations to build complex websites and applications with advanced content structures. The platform provides strong security features, which makes it widely trusted by enterprises, government institutions, and large organizations.

Drupal also offers a large ecosystem of modules and integrations, allowing developers to extend functionality easily without building everything from scratch. Its role-based access control, multilingual capabilities, and powerful taxonomy system make it ideal for managing large amounts of structured content.

Another key strength is its open-source community, which continuously improves the platform and provides documentation, modules, and security updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the main downsides of Drupal is that it has a steeper learning curve compared to other CMS platforms such as WordPress. Non-technical users may find the interface less intuitive, and some tasks require developer knowledge.

Implementation and setup can also take longer because Drupal is designed for complex and enterprise-level projects, which often require customization and configuration. Additionally, upgrading between major Drupal versions can sometimes require significant redevelopment or module updates.

For small websites or simple projects, Drupal may feel overly complex, and the hosting and maintenance requirements can be higher compared to lightweight CMS platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drupal has been my go-to platform for over 15 years, and it continues to impress me. The open-source nature and vibrant community make it an exceptional choice for building applications. You can create powerful solutions with minimal coding thanks to its robust core and ecosystem of modules. When custom functionality is needed, it’s easy to extend with custom code in modules.

Support is abundant, with countless resources, forums, and knowledgeable users ready to help. Once the platform is set up, content creators find it intuitive to manage their content, and the flexible workflows adapt to various needs.

Overall, Drupal combines power, flexibility, and ease of use, making it a fantastic choice for both developers and content teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drupal’s power and flexibility come with a level of complexity that can be challenging for new site builders and developers. While improvements like the Startshot initiative have made it easier to get started, certain features can still be confusing due to how they are structured.

The extensive library of modules is both a strength and a weakness—not all modules are reliable, and some may lose support after you’ve integrated them into your project. For developers unfamiliar with PHP, creating custom modules or working with the theming layer (from the module code) can be daunting and has a steep learning curve.

Deployment and hosting add another layer of complexity. Setting up Drupal on a hosting platform ideally uses Git and best practices include a CI/CD pipeline for build and efficient deployment. Once it is set up, the process is not bad, but can be a challenge when things break. Managed hosting providers like Acquia, Pantheon, or Platform.sh can simplify this, but they add costs.

Although the software itself is free, the time and resources required to build, maintain, and host a Drupal site make it best suited for medium to large projects. For simpler needs, a SaaS website builder might be a more practical option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At initial stages, the installation and setup process is quite complex for new users sometimes. Upgrades of the software are very less here, sometimes the functionality gets older. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess the product has iterations over the years as a complex evolved CMS but the overall tough learning curve it brings to the table is of no use in the modern world. No reason to say it is the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve, Administration skills, tonnes of wiki to search on issues, Issues do not resolve via patches as are windows products. from a CMS point of view maybe it has all the features but not all of the necessities to offset an administrator is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
