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 pratices 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 wen 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.

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.

I guess the product has iterations over the years as an 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, Administrations 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.

It was so easy for us to start using Drupal. It has simple product architectural design and the a very flexible interface which made it easy and quick for us to learn it. Also, we received a lot of supportive materials from the community support and other online documentation articles. What has left a mark in us about Drupal is how secure it is. Despite it being an open-source framework, it has robust and comprehensive security functions dedicated to keep every single data safe from any form of security threats. Being an open-source framework, Drupal allows us to scale it by adding any module that we need and this allows us to be more creative. It made it possible to build very productive and fast performance websites and apps by use of modern technology tools like Symfony. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use both Drupal and Wordpress on a weekly basis, managing content and administering user access for different websites.

Pros of Drupal:

-I find the user interface for Drupal to be faster, less cluttered, and more responsive than Wordpress.

-I find Drupal easier to navigate and interact with, overall, and it is also easier to onboard team members to make content edits. (The learning curve is lower!)

-Drupal has a robust open source development community; there have been existing plugins for most features and integrations that I needed or wanted, and it's been relatively easy to have custom modules developed and implemented, too.

- Drupal customer support has been responsive to our developers when they've had to reach out, and there are also lots of message boards with developers who can provide additional support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
