Drupal's open source community is made of developers, designers, trainers, strategists, editors, and more.
For organizations looking to build scalable, flexible apps with powerful governance and administration.
I learned a lot of what not to do, and a little bit about server set up and code writing. Ultimately, I am happy having a good CMS like this that I can use as an option with our clients.
It always has to be a developer. This is a bit frustrating when something goes wrong with the setup.
The community is vibrant and the security one of the best. With the latest version performance and other features are greatly improve.
In addition, the APIs underneath the hood of Drupal often make it quite a long process developing with Drupal. There are a lot of quirks to learn about before you can really get stuck in.
The flexibility this provides to continue growing a web site makes it priceless. The community around the project is amazing and has provided excellent modules to get a site up and running easily.
The product is difficult to use with limited coding knowledge.
Mostly modern CMS have amazing features with good bootstrapping themes that can easily be fit in. Need a one off editor like a visual studio to allow simple edits.
Naming conventions concerning views, nodes, taxonomy, menu items, panels, modules and tokens can be confusing and particularly overwhelming to a beginner.
We love Airtable's outstanding automation and linking features. Automating repetitive tasks and connecting our data to other platforms has been a breeze, saving us a lot of manual work.
The only problem I have with this software is the terrible iOS applications. If I want to use it on my iPad I do no use the app but rather the web browser due to the lack of functionality.
I literally try to replace as many tools as I can with Airtable because it is so flexible. Using it as the core for client and customer reports is fun and feels like a stable solution.
It's usability is inhibited by the lack of design features. There is no way to upload your own icon for the bases.
This platform is amazing. I love how it combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet interface with great features like file attachments, kanban-style card stacks, calendars, and reporting functions.
Horrid frustrating disapointed in most everything.
Awesome, just awesome everything about the product is awesome, from the price to deployment to use.
The UI is still slightly complicated, and I had a lot of trouble finding documentation on linked fields.
Rachel M.: Hi, my name is Rachel. I'm a Corporate Marketing Director and I would give Drupal a four out of five star rating. For more reviews like this click below. Prior to getting Drupal, we had WordPress and one of the reasons that we got away from WordPress was that we needed to be able to allow access control to different employees. We chose Drupal primarily because our brand consultants recommended it for our new website. But one of the things we really wanted to make sure is that the new website was able to be locked dow, so that images couldn't be stolen, if you will, from our website. Also, we wanted to make sure that we were able to give different access to different employees based on their roles and needs for the program. Making the transition to Drupal was fairly easy. We had good training over the course of a full day with our branding consultant and that really gave us all the information that we needed to adequately maintain and add content in the back end. If you're looking to move over to Drupal from a different CMS, I do recommend a couple things. One of the negatives about Drupal is it does not allow you to upload multiple images at the same time. You aren't able to batch upload. So, you will take some time having go one by one. So, if you have a lot of images to upload, you're going to want to carve out a lot of time or hire a third party. You'll also want to make sure that you stick with a developer or consultant who will always ensure that you have the most up to date updates for Drupal to make sure that your back end is working to the best it can be. And also, the other thing I would highly recommend is that you do group training at the very beginning and create kind of a cheat sheet on what you're going to be doing the most. For example, we used a kind of a Cliffs Notes version of how upload projects and people and other content and that's been incredibly helpful throughout the years for new employees that come in and they can hit the ground running.
Onome D.: Hello, my name is Onome. I am an artist and facilitator. I am a solopreneur and I give Airtable four out of five stars. Prior to Airtable, I was using Google Drive as my content library, and I find Airtable to be better suited to the job. Well, it just so happened that I was able to receive a template for doing my content management system that made it easier for me to figure out how to organize my content in a fairly straightforward way. It was a bit of a learning curve, even with the template because I mean, there's so many options and so many customizations. So I'd say overall it's a pretty steep learning curve. In my case, having a template made a bit of an easier entry point for me. But even with that entry point, it was a little difficult to understand how to add new columns and customize the database. So I'd say it's a little bit of challenge. I would say that though Airtable has worked just fine for my purposes as a solopreneur, it's better suited to a team of people just because it has so many potential moving parts. And the way in which it is customizable, I think it would be better suited to a team of people, like a group of archivists or a group of social media content managers, that kind of thing. Those teams would be the ones that would best be served by a software like Airtable.
