June 24, 2019

3.0

Pros

It’s a good software for large user bases and allows for security enhancements down the road.

Cons

It is not simple to use and many software problems can arise when adding new features. One change can cause numerous problems across the site as a whole.

May 11, 2017

4.0

Pros

Having the experience of working with other CMS, deal with Drupal and even make a good project, but it is very difficult in it everything is arranged.

Cons

In order to make even a small site, you have to spend at least a week of your time, otherwise with the many modules that are implemented in Drupal, do not understand.

### "Drupal does what other platforms cannot "

February 28, 2020

5.0

The Drupal community is great that provides plenty of support.

Pros

Drupal provides solutions that other open source and other platforms are unable to do so. We use it to compare insurance quotes.

Cons

It was a little confusing getting started but overall happy we took the time to learn about Drupal and how to make the systems we need.

### "Difficult to use"

May 15, 2019

3.0

Pros

I like how popular Drupal is. Many developers use it and love it. It is not for me. I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Cons

I attempted to build the company website on it and had a difficult time. It is not intuitive and requires training. I enjoy wordpress too much to use Drupal.

### "Drupal might look like a good option as a CMS, but it's not."

July 10, 2018

3.0

Pros

The one thing I think Drupal has going for it is it's options for existing plugins and themes, but that's all.

Cons

Writing plugins for Drupal is quite complicated and not developer friendly. I would choose a more optimized CMS like Wordpress if you're shopping CMSes

### "Not the easiest to use if you aren't a programmer"

October 9, 2020

3.0

Drupal can sometimes be the right solution for a project, but my go-to platform remains Wordpress.

Pros

Drupal is extremely versatile and has a huge potential to build a variety of kinds of websites. That it's open source is also a plus.

Cons

I seem to always get errors that take considerable time to resolve. Nothing works immediately. You also need a good background in css, etc. to create a beautiful site, unlike Wordpress which has many more templates available.

### "It is not for noobs"

January 27, 2019

4.0

I am one of the in between people. My knowledge is growing but it is not yet at the height that I want to spend the time it would require to customize Drupal, however, it is something I will return to when I have more challenging projects that would benefit from everything Drupal has to offer.

Pros

Drupal is a very flexible and secure content management system that is also highly customizable which is great for developers.

Cons

In my opinion it is either good for someone with very little knowledge due to the pre-made themes or someone with alot of development knowledge because if you do not choose one of the themes then you have quite a bit of work ahead of you. This is my first impression.

### "The best CMS one can get"

June 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

When it comes to a website we blindly go with drupal, that's the trust we have with drupal. This is a limitless content management system, we can mold it the way we want be it a small website or an enterprise website with loads of content, everything can be managed easily with an ease.

Cons

I am not entitled to fingerprint this beautiful piece of script, which is here from decades, powering millions of websites and blogs.

4.0

Pros

Drupal is an open source website which allows rapid prototyping for your websites. It is highly effective for creating advance websites. Drupal is highly flexible and can scale well

Cons

Installing Drupal is quite difficult and requires technical expertise. It is not quite simple and user friendly. You need to have extensive expertise in order to design your websites using Drupal.

### "Another CMS that needs more work!"

September 8, 2019

3.0

It was difficult to operate and didn't like it much. The software is easy to install, but after installation, it becomes a very big problem to navigate around.

Pros

Drupal is another Open Source CMS that has struggled to between Wordpress and Joomla. It is more intuitive and easy to work with than Joomla but has a smaller community overall. Some serious brands have used Drupal as an alternative CMS platform with success, so in some cases I recommend it.

Cons

The community is smaller than Joomla. The software isn't that easy to operate. There aren't that many options for templates around.

I have used it in the past but don't intend to use it in the future.

### "Facile ma solo per fare cose base."

January 17, 2023

3.0

Pros

abbastanza intuitivo per fare cose basilari.

Cons

Fa tutto tramite moduli aggiuntivi con il risultato di riempire il cms di codice fatto da terze parti. Difficile integrare codice proprietario.

I like that I can use Drupal for free as it is an open source content management system.

### "A popular open source CMS"

November 30, 2020

3.0

Overall I liked the product especially for environments where they appreciate open-source software

Pros

It is open source and there are not many comparable open source content management systems in the market. It is also very popular it means there are many thrid party plugins available for this product.

Cons

You need to install a plugin for some very basic form controls. It adds complexities for some of the clients as every third party is required to go to an individual review process .

### "Excellent system, but it is difficult to master it"

April 21, 2017

4.0

Although the system has a large number of modules, it is difficult to understand them and still it seems that some developers have simply not completed some modules. And since the CMS is not bad, we have several projects under its management.

### "Hard to compare to WP"

April 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

Drupal is one of the most feature rich CMSs beside WordPress. It's really hard to compare as they go side-by-side in almost every criterion. However, Drupal are very serious when it comes to security (whitehouse.gov uses it!)

Cons

Not really a con, but it has less number of themes and plugins than WordPress. Note that "less" does not mean you'll miss anything really Another thing is the cost of plugin development, which tend to be a bit higher than WP's

### "Makes it very simple to develop administrator portals."

May 2, 2018

4.0

A lot of free modules are available to choose from and this is very effective when it comes to saving time.

Pros

Drupal has tons of little modules that can be integrated to your project to speed up the progress timeline. There is no need to start developing modules from scratch.

Cons

Drupal has a very large learning curve and one project may consume too much time especially for beginners. It also consumes alot of resources.

### "Reliable CMS"

May 27, 2019

4.0

Pros

Drupal is one of the best CMS. It’s fully open-source platform that provides all essential features you need from one CMS. It’s secure, stable and flexible. I like the user-friendly interface , simple navigation and how easy is to create professional looking blogs/ websites.

Cons

I can point the huge learning curve as downside. There are ton of free templates, however starting from scratch is a journey. Compared to other CMS platforms, Drupal has lack of plugins.
