### " Powerful but complex"

March 3, 2025

4.0

Drupal offers powerful content management capabilities with excellent flexibility, but comes with a steep learning curve. The module ecosystem provides solutions for most requirements, though implementation often requires technical expertise. Performance is good when properly configured, but maintenance and updates can be challenging.

Pros

Extensive customization possibilities if you know what you're doing.

Cons

Hard to learn, but there is a lot of information online.

### "A Legend! Flexible, scalable ans secure. 10/10 "

October 15, 2025

5.0

We have managed to build several projects, both for established and new to the market clients. Every aspect desired was implemented using Drupal architecture and we covered successfully everything in good time. The major positives are: scalability - amazing as the extension posibility is great! Proper integrations, various databases and interface wise options are a bliss!

Pros

Top notch CMS, powerful if it is properly implemented and adjusted to fot the purpose. The fact that it is truly open source makes it legendary. Excellent flexibility and endless configurations are all offered. Highly recommend!

Cons

The PHP configuration might requiere some skills or in some cases, specific skills. This is not an issue as the adaptability of the databases is part of it.

### "Flexible CMS for professional sites"

January 6, 2025

4.0

My experience overall has been great, with fast to moderate development time and some extra time dedicated to hardening.

Pros

Drupal is a flexible CMS that I can use for robust projects. It allows great customization and has a wide offering in terms of add-ons backed by the open source community or some companies.

Cons

It requires technical php skills to make custom adjustments. It also require you to study a lot about how to enforce greater security. Many plugins are abandoned so you need to be careful when using features that are not native.

### "Drupal is a fantastic CMS"

July 29, 2019

5.0

I like it a lot but because of their update cycle it should only be used on projects that have a lifespan of 5 years or less.

Pros

Views is the best thing about Drupal. Pre-Views, Drupal is a decent CMS, perhaps a bit more logical than WordPress, but with a lot less users it's hard to justify it. However with Views, you can make advanced applications with a pretty easy to learn interface. It's really, really close to a visual programming language, although there are still some things you'll need to break out the code for. I also really appreciate that most of the modules don't make too many assumptions. With WordPress, I constantly have to fight against styling and strangely formatted HTML inserted by plugins, and that's less common with Drupal modules.

Cons

It requires a fairly beefy hosting setup and a good caching setup to perform well. I also strongly, STRONGLY dislike that sites created five years ago now HAVE to be rebuilt, or they are not secure. That may be fine for enterprise, but it sucks for someone who makes lots of small sites for small businesses. Platforms should be supported for at least ten years IMO, the web has been stable for a while now and there's no good reason to force complete rebuilds. WordPress does this better and manages to continually keep sites upgradeable without a rebuild.

Reason for choosing Drupal

Drupal is a good choice over WordPress for projects that require a searchable database, where Views is at its best. WordPress is a better choice for SEO-focused projects because of Rank Math and other great SEO tools that exist only in the WordPress ecosystem. I don't even understand how Joomla is still a thing. Almost all of its plugins appear outdated. I haven't used it in over a decade, but there's a reason for that.

### "Flexible and Secure CMS for Digital Content Management"

March 16, 2023

4.0

My experience with Drupal has been positive. While there is a learning curve, the flexibility and security of the CMS make it a reliable choice for managing digital content. Additionally, the wide range of integrations and plugins available allow me to customize my website to meet my business needs.

Pros

Drupal is a flexible and customizable CMS that offers a range of features and functionalities for digital content management.It is widely used and has a large community of developers, making it easy to find support and resources.Drupal is known for its security, making it a reliable choice for businesses and organizations.

Cons

Drupal can have a steep learning curve, especially for those who are new to web development or CMS.Customizing and managing a Drupal website can require more technical expertise than other CMS options.Some plugins and integrations can be limited compared to other CMS options.

### "Drupal Was a Decent Option Years Ago but I Would Not Consider it Today"

December 29, 2020

2.0

Drupal has been an affordable content management system for us over the years but I wouldn't consider them now based on there being more user friendly options out there.

Pros

The Drupal content management system is free and the WYSIWYG ( What You See Is What You Get) editor is helpful for those of us who run a website without much HTML knowledge.

Cons

The product is difficult to use with limited coding knowledge. Additionally, there are few plug-ins and the add-ons that do exist are not super reliable as they are essentially created by volunteers.

### "The Supreme CMS"

February 12, 2021

5.0

It was a difficult process to start. I came from Wordpress which was stupid simple, but once I learned Drupal and realized the power it had I was completely sold. It's great for all sizes of projects and has a great community of people using it.

Pros

Drupal's content management struct and philosophy is so robust. It can handle any kind of content, not just blog posts. The ability to model data exactly how you want it and even query and create views is unparalleled.

Cons

The learning curve on Drupal is high. The documentation is cumbersome and so it's difficult to know where to begin without help from somebody who already knows. That said, once you "get" Drupal you'll never look back

Reason for choosing Drupal

While it might have been fun to do, it was just too much to take on when Drupal could do it out of the box.

### "The Best CMS"

February 10, 2021

4.0

Excellent. Very nostalgic to think about my journey with this software. I have built countless websites over the years using Drupal, and my experience has been varied.

Pros

Drupal is, in my opinion, the best open source CMS available. I have seen it grow since version 4.0 and heavily used it right up until version 7. Drupal 6 was the golden era. There are countless extensions, most of which are completely free and built by a passionate community. If you need a fast, reliable CMS for free, this is the first place you should start.

Cons

Since the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] left, things haven't felt the same. It has sadly become more up-market and commercial. However the core software and extensions still remain, and it is still probably the best CMS on the market.

### "Drupal Can Support Most Typical Needs"

December 2, 2025

4.0

There were no issues with ongoing use, just may have slowed us down from implementing custom/unique functionality without having a dedicated web developer on staff

Pros

It is lower cost than other solutions, is not complicated to learn, and meets most needs for a typical site

Cons

Some more nuanced logic/requirements for functionality are a little harder to implement, and the security team had some concerns about not even patching being released

### "One of the most robust and secure Web CMS in the market"

July 27, 2018

4.0

The security of having a tool that allows me to deal with almost any web project that requires content management, scalability and security.

Pros

If you have to face the development of an intranet or a medium or complex web project, Drupal is definitely one of the options that you have to consider. It is open source backed by a large community that has been committed for years to a project that is characterized by its flexibility and security. Drupal provides a robust content authoring platform and is capable of handling large numbers of users with clear rules and permits. One of the bases of Drupal is its system of modules. Eventually, almost any functionality you may need can be added to the system through modules (built based on PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS). And yet, I bet you will not even have to develop it, because surely it will already be available among the immense amount of modules that the community has contributed during these years (especially for version 7). The theme system is another of the important element. If you do not need to develop your own interface from scratch, you can choose one of the large number of free themes available and adapt it to your needs, being able to even configure many features without modifying the source code. Certainly, it does not seem like a very intuitive method, but once you understand it you can implement almost everything you need. In its latest version, Drupal has been almost completely modernized; it has discarded many failures that hindered its performance and have included in its core many important functionalities that were contributed by modules.

Cons

Drupal can be difficult to deal with for non-developer or technical profile users. Depending on your objectives, the learning curve can be considerable. The fact of being an almost module-dependent system for most of the functionalities can force you to deal with many configurations, compatibility issues and workflows when you want to implement complex functionalities that may even need several modules working together. As I see it, this is not necessarily a negative thing, but rather the cost of the flexibility and power it gives you. If the design and the appearance are important in your project, you will have to put a little more effort into the work; unfortunately, many of Drupal's graphic themes do not look as fashionable or in trend as those of WordPress, which is still the leader in this section. It is possible to achieve it, but you will have to dedicate time or pay for it. As the number of modules and the database grows, the performance of Drupal may be affected, so it is important to learn to keep it in shape and updated, activate the cache and continuously evaluate the relevance and usefulness of each of the added modules. Although it has been greatly optimized with the arrival of Drupal 8, it is not something that should be neglected in medium and large projects.

### "Drupal is a CMS that can do it all."

December 5, 2017

5.0

Pros

The best part about Drupal is that you can do anything and the best functionality is either in Drupal core or a free module at Drupal.org. There is a misconception that the learning curve is difficult. In comparison, achieving the basic needs of a brochure website are the same in all of the top CMS solutions. Aside from comparisons, the best tool within Drupal is Views. You can create lists and grids of data that can then be sorted, filtered, and altered in so many ways without adding any additional modules. Of course you can extend views and provide even better data lists or different view types but the ability to display and work with items that reside in the system is unlike any other system.

Cons

With so many options available to you, the learning curve comes with learning how to best use the best module for the job. There may be 5-10 modules that achieve a result, but in the end, there may only be one module that does it exactly how you want it. So the complexity is in the trial and error of having multiple options. So you may waste time working through the complexities of a module and realize that was not the main intent of the module or it doesn't quite do everything you wanted. This is worth it to me though as I will then be able to understand how different modules can be used in different ways to perform different functions.

### "Drupal Review "

May 21, 2023

4.0

Pros

Drupal offers a wealth of themes and modules that make it possible to create almost any type of website, all backed by its robust and secure security system. Moreover, its scalability makes it ideal for growing businesses. Utilizing a content management system, Drupal easily keeps content up to date and displays it to any variety of devices; and as an open-source platform, Drupal enjoys immense support through an enthusiastic community of users.

Cons

I least liked the complexity of the administrative interface. It can take some time to get used to the sheer amount of options and settings within Drupal, which can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Additionally, Drupal's reliance on PHP can be challenging for those who are not accustomed to working with server-side technologies.

### "The new era Content Management System."

March 28, 2019

5.0

Drupal is easy to maintain by non technical person. The theme customization is one of the best feature as it provide the flexibility of editing the website as per your need. The Open-Source code help in to understand and audit the code of the Drupal. My overall experience is good with this CMS as it becomes the administrator or site owner first choice as it's easy to maintain once setup.

Pros

Drupal is new era most popular content management system written in PHP, HTML5, JS and CSS. All the build-in templates come with the feature of responsive site. The new enhanced admin panel is easy and adaptive for user. The quick edit option make it up-to-date on the go. Drupal's large community make it more powerful as it easy to find freelancer Drupal developer and a number of plugins to make easy to integrate the number of feature to our site. All popular hosting site give on-click installation for Drupal which make it easy to deploy and maintain.

Cons

Popularity come with the vulnerability, as Drupal is one of the most popular CMS, which brings the vulnerability with it. Drupal continuous work on the area of vulnerability but you have to manual work on patch and also need to check the plugin functionality after each patch and update this process should be more automatic.

### "Working with Drupal is a balance of unbridled freedom and future-proofing frustration."

March 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

Druapl is a CMS that allows the developer to do anything they could want, provided they have the know-how and the time to build it. Plugins are often open-ended enough to allow for developers to plugin into them and continue building until the feature they are looking for is completed. There is incredible value here - while it is free, more premium plugins cost money. The user-base also serves as technical support - plugins are built by users and so they are also maintained and supported by those users. This means that there is a wide range of plugins and people to provide support if you run into an issue. Despite any shortcomings, I do love the product a lot. It's optimistic in the way its' built - very few software let you just have the ability to do anything with it these days. This is still one of those products, and so it should be commended for it.

Cons

This is NOT for somebody who wants to build their first website. This is a developer's platform, and some of the ways things are done in Drupal makes it very difficult to just get off the group and build out a website. I mention above the word "Developer" a lot, and that's who this product is really for. If I am aiming this review towards the general public, I would take the ease of use down to 2 or even 1 star for them - it's just not something you should do if you don't have experience building in it. Hire somebody. The other side of the coin in having a wide range of plugins means that there are a lot that are not very good, or are not maintained. They become a security liability. The fact that these plugins are maintained by users also means that there is nobody making sure that the maintainer keeps the plugin working, which can really wreck how a site functions.

August 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

With Drupal, you can make almost anything you can imagine even (and mostly) complex sites/apps without the need for starting from scratch. This is possible because of its great (in terms of quality and size) community and contributed modules. Some features I like the most of Drupal: - Myriad of contributed modules - Security - Possibility to work with several environments and replicate a site/config/contents from code - Great documentation, repositories, issues... everything you need in one place - Backend allows managing most of the tasks using a great user interface - Multilingual - Community - Encourages and enforces best practices - Possibility to perform most actions from command line - ...

June 23, 2023

I appreciate the depth and complexity of Drupal, as it empowers me to tackle complex projects and implement advanced features. The supportive community has been invaluable, providing assistance, updates, and a wealth of knowledge

Pros

As a Drupal user, one of the things I love most about it is its unparalleled flexibility and extensibility. Drupal's modular architecture allows me to create and customize websites and applications to meet client needs

Cons

there are a few aspects that could be considered challenging for some users. One aspect that can be a bit overwhelming, especially for beginners, is the learning curve associated with Drupal's complexity.

### "Powerful but can be tiring"

April 15, 2019

3.0

Pros

It's very, very flexible and ultimately enables you to use it for a wide range of applications. There's a very strong community to back it up which means that instead of having to write your own bespoke drupal modules, there's normally one already waiting for you on drupal.org. With very configurable permissions, you can allow regular users to have sessions with varying levels of access.

Cons

There's been a lot of security advisories for this software over the last year. Most weeks, I've had to support some issue or another and they just keep coming. Drupal 8 is an entirely different beast to Drupal 7 too so there's a whole lot to learn if you'd previously developed on 7. 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.

### "Easy to Use, Hard to master CMS"

September 8, 2018

5.0

I've used a few CMS such as Joomla before, but Drupal is the one that my team and I consistently go back to. For some of our key sites, this is a great tool to use. I have members on the team that are well versed in PHP and CSS so this is relatively easy for them to work with. We've used Drupal for a few in house websites ranging from relatively simple blogs to enterprise level business sites. The team has been using Drupal since Drupal6 and we're now at Drupal8. Drupal's best selling point over many CMS is in its flexibility and the multitude of options available for the users.

Pros

I really like the options that are available with Drupal; themes, modules,etc. I particularly enjoy having the ability to use themes and having options to create and use custom themes. It's a bit challenging to install and deploy the first time, but the themes themselves are incredibly easy to write if you have knowledge of CSS. I also feel that Drupal is well supported with forums, an established community documentation, and a decent slack channel.

Cons

I think that the old adage, "Easy to learn, hard to master" applies really well to Drupal. The layout and feel of Drupal is not really naturally intuitive. Furthermore, while it's not necessarily a con, but it feels like there really are almost too many modules and features available. Some of them share very similar functionalities and novice users may choose a less fleshed out/established option. However, I feel that this is typical of many open-source CMS software and it's something that can be easily overcome with experience.

### "Drupal - a CMS that could use an UX upgrade"

March 9, 2019

4.0

Hopefully the new decoupled admin built in react will make for a better UX experience that will draw more attention to the system's strengths versus it's downfalls

Pros

Drupal is extremely versatile for people who have used it for a while. You get the options of being in an ecosystem for large scale development CMS software and it's all open source.

Cons

What can be extremely useful can also be horribly complex and not without it's challenges. Drupal 8 has gen going through some growing pains leaving devs a mystery in which path they should take without being left out. The community seems to talk in closed circles sometimes and you are left wondering if you made the right dev choice. <- this isn't a joke the webforms mess at the beginning of the drupal 8 cycle was a shit show.

### "Want to use an unnecessarily complex CMS? Drupal is for you"

December 5, 2019

4.0

Painful at least. There are several times where we have been affected by bugs that, after digging in a little, we found that had been there for 5 or 6 years with no solution. If you are starting out a new project, I don't recommend using it unless you require some specific feature. For example, drupal permissions management is excellent. If you don't require something that you know only drupal can provide, go with something else. You will save a lot of frustration.

Pros

Some of its design choices make sense, and actually help you set up a complex site without diving in too deep.

Cons

Unnecessary complex. The software cannot evolve at the same rythm of the web. Some packages that were crucial in Drupal7 are still in Beta in Drupal8, and several years have passed. Basically if you choose to go with Drupal, you are on your own.

November 23, 2022

5.0

Drupal offers more advanced Content management facilities which in my opinion are very suitable for larger businesses with large content management needs and it's a nice work tool for professional developers too.

Pros

From its framework system to all other extensive functionalities, Drupal performs extremely well. It offers a lot of customization features that are suitable for designing large and complete websites.Drupal offers a more advanced security grid which is best to avoid website phishing or any other forms of web attacks.There is quite a large quantity of training resources available for new users and the community support solution is also great.

Cons

What made me migrate off Drupal is the fact that it's designed mostly for advanced web designers. The workstation is not beginner-friendly even though, I do enjoy its performance.

### "More than a CMS--An incredibly powerful site building and management tool!"

March 31, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's open source! You can build just about anything with it, and you can do most things right within the user interface. Many things you can do in the UI such as building complex views are quite simple once you know the process, and would require writing complex code or database queries in most other systems. The community is excellent and there are thousands of free contributions. Drupal is great about security releases and about reviewing the security of Drupal core as well as the contributed space. Powerful theming layer using Twig templates in Drupal 8+. Drupal Commerce allows for a powerful e-commerce system.

Cons

The admin interface is not always intuitive for non-technical users. There's a learning curve involved with Drupal and many of its major contributed modules. Requires contributed modules for, or just entirely lacks, some features which users unfamiliar with the technical aspects of Drupal might expect. Drupal can be slow compared to some other systems, but its great caching layer mitigates this.

Pros

Being a developer its hard not to love Drupal -- with their recent update to Drupal 8 and moving to a Symfony2 backend and Twig templating system, its become bulletproof. Also, Composer is now built in to manage dependencies. The developer community is incredible and all modules are peer-reviewed by the community. This way you know the code you are getting is safe and sound unlike competitors...\*cough\*wordpress\*cough\*

Cons

The migration from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 may be hard for some developers to swallow. A lot has changed, but almost all for the better. Drupal 8 modules are still a bit slow to be ported from Drupal 7.
