"Amazing tool for professional and automated website building and management!"
5/5
What do you like best about Drupal?

It offers excellent tools for building a website. It's relatively easy to use and very customizable(you can make your website absolutely your own). In addition to themes and other standard customizations available in other CMS, you have the option to group your content into categories and have custom built-in elements for each category. For example, if you want to create events, you can have the date and time as well as the location of the event, and you don't have to create those fields every time for every event, they are built-in, you just add them to your event content type, and then fill them up when you create the event. That's the thing, you can focus on the specific content you are posting and have custom specifically made fields for it, which is awesome, and that's built-in! There are also many more professional features for your website customization, management and security! It's an excellent tool for building a professional or non-professional website!

What do you dislike about Drupal?

I don't know if I can't find it or it's not there, but in both cases, this needs to either be added or made more easily accessible. Basically, when you post an article or whatever text on your website, and it has hyperlinks when you click them, they open in the same tab as your website, so if you are reading and click the link, it redirects you and interrupts your reading. There should be an option to open links in a new tab in the text editor when you post something. If it's hidden somewhere else, it needs to be moved there. You can edit the source code and, via HTML, just add target="blank_" to every link, but if you have many links, that is very tedious and slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Don't use Drupal if you are not a Prof. developer or if you don't have development team"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Drupal?

Well, Drupal is a great CMS for enterprise users. Who wants to adopt their large scalable high functional web portal into a secured CMS. As per I know, Drupal is the most secured CMS than any other CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

Very limited options for backend users. Drupal also has fewer modules/plugins than Joomla or Wordpress. And most of the plugins are paid. Drupal doesn't have a good interface for users also. If you are not a tech person and are just familiar with other CMS then Drupal will disappoint you. This is a so-called CMS but the truth is, you have to make changes to the codes.

"Customizable For Better or Worse"
4/5
What do you like best about Drupal?

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.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

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 is the workhorse behind our most complex websites"
5/5
What do you like best about Drupal?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

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.

"Drupal Review - Higher Ed Website"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Drupal?

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.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

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 Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Drupal?

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.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

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.
