    I'd say just about every marketing application can benefit from ConvertFlow's features and flexibility. Some step-by-step logic form builders limit what you can have on each step, ConvertFlow leaves that totally up to you which is a huge plus. If you use Keap as your CRM, it is especially helpful as not all systems have a direct connection like this does. If there's an area it may be less suited than other specific tools, I'd say maybe survey forms. You certainly CAN build them, but there are other tools for that which create an easier experience building and for the user.

    If you want to set up a basic Not For Profit (NFP) Membership system and content base, Word Press is easier than Drupal. However, if you have specific needs that require a fair bit of customisation then Drupal is the best CRM available. If the webmaster is confident with PHP and SQL, Drupal allows a lot of creativity.

    Cons
    ConvertFlow
    • lead source from Google - can't tell paid vs organic
    • Some custom fields in forms require duplicating or re-setting up across forms - could used custom saved questions library
    • From landing pages, opening a pop-up requires building a pop-up outside the page. this is good when multiple pages use the same pop-up but in other cases can be time-consuming to exit the page, build, then go back and finish the page. small detail really but worth knowing about
    • you can set up custom URLs, but so far no option to integrate, for instance, into WordPress and give a landing page your actual URL. So instead of "domain.com/page" you have to use "go.domain.com/page" or something like that. would be nice to keep it within my URL in some cases.

    • This is not an easy CMS to work with if you don't have a good understanding of website development. It isn't "plug-and-play" like Wordpress or Shopify.
    • Over time, doing major updates to the system can be taxing, especially if you aren't well-versed enough in doing system updates in line with your "child" theme and code.
    • The CMS can become somewhat cumbersome with server resources if not carefully optimized while you build and customize it to your liking.

    The time and money invested into this platform were too great to discontinue it at this point. I'm sure it will be in use for a while. We have also spent time training many employees how to use it. All of these things add up to quite an investment in the product. Lastly, it basically fulfills what we need our intranet site to do.

    As a team, we found Drupal to be highly customizable and flexible, allowing our development team to go to great lengths to develop desired functionalities. It can be used as a solution for all types of web projects. It comes with a robust admin interface that provides greater flexibility once the user gets acquainted with the system.

    Drupal itself does not tend to have bugs that cause sporadic outages. When deployed on a well-configured LAMP stack, deployment and maintenance problems are minimal, and in general no exotic tuning or configuration is required. For highest uptime, putting a caching proxy like Varnish in front of Drupal (or a CDN that supports dynamic applications).

    Drupal page loads can be slow, as a great many database calls may be required to generate a page. It is highly recommended to use caching systems, both built-in and external to lessen such database loads and improve performance. I haven't had any problems with behind-the-scenes integrations with external systems.

    As noted earlier, the support of the community can be rather variable, with some modules attracting more attraction and action in their issue queues, but overall, the development community for Drupal is second to none. It probably the single greatest aspect of being involved in this open-source project.

    I was part of the team that conducted the training. Our training was fine, but we could have been better informed on Drupal before we started providing it. If we did not have answers to tough questions, we had more technical staff we could consult with. We did provide hands-on practice time for the learners, which I would always recommend. That is where the best learning occurred.

    The on-line training was not as ideal as the face-to-face training. It was done remotely and only allowed for the trainers to present information to the learners and demonstrate the platform online. There was not a good way to allow for the learners to practice, ask questions and have them answered all in the same session.

    Plan ahead as much you can. You really need to know how to build what you want with the modules available to you, or that you might need to code yourself, in order to make the best use of Drupal. I recommend you analyze the most technically difficult workflows and other aspects of your implementation, and try building some test versions of those first. Get feedback from stakeholders early and often, because you can easily find yourself in a situation where your implementation does 90% of what you want, but, due to something you didn't plan for, foresee, or know about, there's no feasible way to get past the last 10%

    All of these I used for different, specific purposes. ConvertFlow accomplishes ALL of those purposes and does them well. There might be an area or two where others excel, but you end up needing more than one tool to accomplish the same results as ConvertFlow can do in one tool.

    Drupal can be more complex to learn, but it offers a much wider range of applications. Drupal’s front and backend can be customized from design to functionality to allow for a wide range of uses. If someone wants to create something more complex than a simple site or blog, Drupal can be an amazing asset to have at hand.

    Drupal is well known to be scalable, although it requires solid knowledge of MySQL best practices, caching mechanisms, and other server-level best practices. I have never personally dealt with an especially large site, so I can speak well to the issues associated with Drupal scaling.

    • Saves my team a TON of time. we've used form tools before that generated results but took a whole afternoon to properly set up. My team can set up new forms or a/b test designs in minutes.
    • Signup optimization is now attainable for many team members. Even my designers can easily test their own work, you don't have to have a deep data analysis to see what's working

    • Given the endless possibilities that Drupal can have, we tend to have great support going on when we get a website launched
    • It has become much much faster and easier for us to launch a new project due to reusability
    • Configuration management in Drupal helps greatly with CI/CD, saves us costs
