What do you like best about Drupal?

It's easy to learn how to use Drupal if someone doesn't have a lot of website-building experience. There are a lot of options for page templates which can be used used for different purposes. Making edits on web pages is also quick and straightforward. If I'm working on a page, I can save it as a draft before publishing, and I can also quickly access the list of all the pages that I've created/edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

There's a limit to what can be done on Drupal. The interface is not the most user friendly and can take some time to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Drupal:

I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a lot of coding or website building experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've stopped using Drupal because I am no longer at the job that used it. While I was at the job, I used Drupal to create and edit webpages for my company's website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were struggling to find a system that was easy for all skill --level users. Drupal proved to be the best.

What do you like best about Drupal?

I love that Drupal is an open-source platform. It's great for creating large, complex websites (or simple websites too). Great community support, and powerful and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

It can be overwhelming and challenging at first, but if you stick with it, you'll soon realize the many benefits of this product! Because Drupal is so advanced, there are components to the CMS that your average developer may not have previous experience in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have several content managers who use Drupal to ensure our organization's web pages are professional and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Drupal?

Drupal is more than just a CMS. It is a true content management platform (emphasis on platform). To me, the difference with Drupal is its ability to manipulate the content and have dynamic content which is different than just a CMS. That is, It is more than just a system to render the data onto a webpage with stylesheets, but a complete platform that allows a developer to manupulate data dynamically and render it dynamically on a webpage. Many people will compare Wordpress with Drupal. To be fair, they both do 80% of the same thing, but the 20% is what makes the difference. Drupal allows a developer to control data input and output at a level that Wordpress does not. It is a lot like the difference between iOS (Apple Phone) and Android phone. They both allow to make calls but how that call is completed is different to a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

The fact that you can do so much in Drupal is also its downfault. To a non-developer, it is extremely difficult to use. There is a steep learning curve, and it is not very accessible (i.e. user-friendly) to most people. Given this issue though, a developer can make it more user-friendly so that anyone can author in the system. In fact, a Drupal developer can enable such things as a Gutenberg module, which is the same editor in WordPress; thus making authoring accessible to non-developers. However, you will need a developer to enable Gutenberg in the beginning which makes Drupal more challenging to use for the average user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Drupal:

If you have a very complex site or content, Drupal is the CMS for you. You will need a development team to get the best use of Drupal. However, if you have a simple site that needs to be maintained, try looking at other CMS such as WordPress, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Drupal allows us to have a dynamic internal portal for communications and information in a large enterprise. Because of the amount of content managed, Drupal is the ideal platform because we can add recommendation engines, targeted content to specific users and dynamic content to the portal's functionality. Through having these functions, we can allow users to find content easier and also surface communications specific to each employee. We reduce the "spam" effect and make direct communications to employees more relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Drupal?

Drupal is very extensible, if you can think of it there is a way to make it happen with Drupal. The documentation is very thorough and understandable. Another one of its strengths is the community. There are several large events that happen every year and small groups that meet in almost all cities in America. The community is very open and willing to help everyone, no matter their level of experience.

A huge benefit to using Drupal is there is probably a module for 90% of what you would need for a project. The last 10% percent of the project is custom to the specific project and would have to created no matter what system you are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

The major versions of Drupal take a long time to be developed and released. The upgrade path from an older major version is not easy sometimes. Drupal depends on a lot of community-built modules to accomplish some basic tasks, and those modules can become stale and not maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Drupal:

Make sure you can find developers / admins that know how to use Drupal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have built numerous websites of varying complexity for non-profits, and being able to copy parts of them to create a new one is extremely helpful. This allows me to be able to charge less and turn work around quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Drupal?

Drupal has so many intricate configurations; it makes it easy to get the exact setup that you want from within the site's admin area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drupal?

The CMS is complex from an admin perspective. Managing content is relatively easy - but the vast configuration possibilities are not friendly for those who are not Drupal experts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Drupal:

If you're looking for something easy to set up and simple for content managers to use, then Drupal isn't for you. But if you're looking for something that has limitless out-of-the-box configurations, then Drupal is exactly the CMS you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Drupal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Drupal's configuration possibilities have allowed us to create a large, complex website suiting many different tiers of content editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
