### "Drupal will do everything you want it to if you can tell it how"

April 6, 2018

4.0

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.

Pros

There is almost no limit to what you can create with Drupal. And the themes are really quite fantastic! It's an open source platform so the cost is right on point. And it's a fast CMS that rivals WordPress easily.

Cons

Setting it up and learning the commands can be a bit of a headache and I had to get help setting up the servers and email clients. Some of Drupal is not very user-friendly. Definitely a CMS for those at skill levels intermediate and up.

### "Drupal is good but there are better"

April 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is a pretty powerful CMS with lots of developer support and great examples. It's stable and proven so you can feel confident it will be around for a long time.

Cons

It's just not as easy to use as the competition, Wordpress being the easy example. It could be more polished in the back-end to get up to speed with the rest.

### "A robust CMS with a high learning curve"

October 1, 2018

3.0

Pros

You can do mostly of the things using Drupal. If you have time to learn, can be a very good CMS because it can transform itself in everything.

Cons

You need to install dozens of plugins and work with A LOT of configuration and details because some configurations for one plugin may be split in 4 diferents screens and modules.

### "Great CMS"

October 10, 2017

4.0

Pros

I love being able to see changes and updates to page as quickly as I can with Drupal. I also have the ability to review the html code along with a WYSIWYG.

### "An Open Source Tool That Has All The Functionality You Can Use To Create Complex Websites"

May 14, 2019

4.0

Pros

We use Drupal as our content management system for some of our projects. Like Wordpress, Drupal has also many free templates and themes that you can find online to create websites. It is an open source tool yet has all the functionality you can use to create complex websites and it is very scalable.

Cons

Compared to Wordpress the installations and upgrades are more difficult. Customizations are far more complex and you need time to understand these complexities.

### "Great CMS system"

February 5, 2019

5.0

I've used Drupal for people that dont have knowledge in HTML so they can control the content of their site. It makes it simple for people to update their sites with almost anything they want.

Pros

I've used Drupal for over 5 years now and have seen it evolve throughout version. It is a great content management system, has great flexibility and allot of add-ons modules for almost anything you can think.

Cons

It does have a learning curve and there is allot of settings that can get you confused, but this is expected with such a large type of software of this nature. This is not a weekend project type of CMS, you will have to take a few weeks to learn and customize your site.

### "Not of much use for freelancers and small businesses"

June 19, 2018

5.0

While appreciating the sophistication of this CMS, Drupal was of no use as I could get better and faster result working with WordPress. Security breach is never a big issue for me to be honest.

Pros

I understand this software comes with the best security features, so important for projects that are sensitive to be hacked while working in groups or communities.

Cons

Drupal is difficult to use and there is a steep learning curve. For freelancers and small businesses, why not use WordPress (or even Joomla) that is so easy to use and yet get the same or even better result! After all, WordPress has a big and growing library of plugins.

### "I've developed four websites using drupal."

June 8, 2017

5.0

Pros

Very easy to add users to assign roles. Users can add content fairly easily. Large range of customizations available.

Cons

Sometimes counter-intuitive. You need to make sure you know what your doing before you go messing about with settings.

### "Administrative panel can be customized"

May 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

I understood from the very beginning that it would be easy to work with CMS Drupal. To install it, it was necessary to press only one button in your account. It was also easy to work with content, as the administration panel can be customized.

Cons

I would not recommend this CMS to newcomers who have not even worked with WordPress before. Most modules will have to be modified manually, and this requires knowledge and experience.

### "Very good but not the best"

September 22, 2020

4.0

In school we first learned to code a website from the ground up. Then we started learning Drupal and it blew my mind. Suddenly I learned of all the possibilities a CMS offers. But in the end I had to decide between Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress. I had to go with WordPress.

Pros

It was the first CMS I ever used and I had a really good experience. It's open source.

Cons

Didn't offer as many possibilities as WordPress.

### "Have a client with a drupal site, prefer wordpress"

December 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

Works well and seems like a cool way of organizing everything. Definitely enterprise class.

Cons

Can be confusing to do basic things that I know in Wordpress. Less plugin options and support.

### "Good tool, but not user friendly"

July 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

Drupal is a good alternative to WordPress if you don't want to be one of the typical WordPress users. They offer quite a bit of variety and more custom code than WordPress as well.

Cons

Drupal is NOT user-friendly. Finding pages and stuffing content takes so much longer than necessary. There are also odd requirements on different modules that really don't seem necessary and only make is a longer process than it should be. Simple things like saving a page or going back to your previous page are borderline impossible. Overall, I would always choose WordPress if you are building it for a less than genius user.

### "Powerful for large enterprise site"

June 21, 2018

3.0

Pros

The new Drupal 8 is an extremely powerful CMS that will scale really well for large sites. the platform is solid as a rock. being able to configure all those elements once and adding all sort of plugins are making it a great enterprise tool

Cons

quite difficult to really understand how everything works. it's not straightforward for beginners and will take some effort to really see the potential of this CMS So not really suitable for quick blogs/website

### "Convenient and easy site management system"

January 18, 2019

4.0

Pros

Based on CMS Drupal, we develop small informational blogs. The platform provides a large selection of properties when building rubricators, it has the ability to control user access rights.

Cons

There is no built-in tool for importing and exporting data, and a small number of plug-ins to extend the basic functionality of the platform forces our programmers to write some modules on their own. Low level of security sites created on the basis of this CMS.

### "Complex CMS but great once you get the hang of it"

February 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

Themeing a site in Drupal is quite remarkable when the right base theme is created or selected. The final product is a website/product and backing CMS that will run exceptionally well for years. Admin area is good and content management is quite easy.

Cons

Drupal has a steep learning curve, overly complected in comparison to the competitors. Online support is also below par. Security patches are quite frequent requiring regular software updates.

### "Miglior CMS in circlazione"

February 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

Ciò che mi piace di più di Drupal è la sua flessibilità. Il sistema è altamente personalizzabile e permette di creare siti web che soddisfino le esigenze specifiche di ogni progetto. La sua architettura modulare permette di estendere facilmente le funzionalità del sito con i numerosi moduli disponibili.

Cons

Come ogni software, anche Drupal ha alcuni aspetti che potrebbero essere migliorati. Uno di questi è la curva di apprendimento, che può risultare ripida per coloro che non hanno esperienza con sistemi di gestione dei contenuti

### "Powerful, but rather difficult platform"

February 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

With the help of Drupal, we have developed several small information blogs in our company. Presented a significant number of free templates. Excellent support from the community platform.

Cons

It was an order of magnitude more difficult to expand and customize the platform than, for example, CMS from competing developers. Plug-ins are not officially controlled by anyone, so not all of them are of high quality.

### "Basic Content Management System"

December 2, 2019

3.0

Pros

Our University Marketing team decided to switch content management systems about two years ago to Drupal. It was a daunting task to undertake and convert old content into compatible elements in the Drupal environment. From a user perspective, the software is intuitive and very easy to use.

Cons

It could be based on our University's restrictions and permissions, but Drupal's editing environment seems as basic and simple as could be. There is no room for creativity and add-ons to make your site stand out are just a dream. If you are looking for a basic tool to help you manage a large website in an efficient manner, this is your program. If you are looking for a creative platform to develop engaging content, I would encourage you to look elsewhere.

### "Great flexibility and good for advanced sites"

August 2, 2018

5.0

Very flexible, developer friendly, great for comunities

Pros

A large amount of modules can be used for free and many people maintain them up to date. It is flexible and probably very open to code implementations for complex implementations

Cons

Developer friendly, but not suitable for everyone. It is easier to pick up for someone that has already a development background. It requires a little bit of expertise when installing it, there might be technical details required that are not very common for non-IT background users/admins

### "Drupal CMS Review"

August 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

Perfect choice for the Content Management System with all the features. To create and update APIs for content is within few minutes. Built in web services, mobile support, security, external plugins. Stable with powerful version control and access control methods. Suitable for large content based applications. It has built in multi language support.

Cons

It is not user friendly. Not supported with all type of sql databases. The installation is complex and need to install separate plugins for more features.

### "Drupal has come a long way"

September 15, 2022

4.0

Pros

Thanks to its open source nature, Drupal is becoming a lot more flexible and powerful. In terms of learning curve it's not much different to WordPress, and I found nodes and content to be just as rich in terms of editing and customising.

Cons

I felt upgrading between versions was a hassle. Drupal wasn't as easy to upgrade between plugin and core versions compared to CMS such as wordpress.

### "Over time, Drupal becomes only more complicated and confusing"

January 21, 2018

3.0

Pros

Despite the fact that Drupal is used by a large number of developers and users, yet this system is very complex. In addition, it is much inferior to its direct competitors in terms of speed of loading pages and scalability.

Cons

The interface can't be called intuitive, it is difficult to configure the selected modules, the mass of modules that can't be disabled if necessary.
