Progress Sitefinity is a content management and customer analytics platform. It supports content management, tailored marketing, multi-channel management, and ecommerce sites.
Drupal is community-backed making it more accessible and growing at a faster rate than Sitefinity which is a proprietary product built on .NET. Drupal is PHP-based using some but not all Symphony codebase. Updates for Drupal are frequent and so are feature adds.
We evaluated many CMS systems and Drupal came out on top because of its flexibility and that its open source. We didn't always know everything we would be asked to build and Drupal allowed us to be nimble enough to do what needed to get done. We also liked that it handled …
Drupal is not as powerful, extensible, or easy to use as Sitecore, but it is free, whereas Sitecore can be quite expensive. It offers a similar service as Umbraco, but from a PHP codebase. For clients that need a free CMS system, it is the clear choice for those with a PHP …

We thought it would be better, and especially better suited for .NET and Azure solutions.
In the end, I would say Sitefinity is worse in nearly all aspects, including Microsoft technology integration.
I find that Sitefinity has the heart and soul of an open source CMS in that it is easy to use by everyone, but it definitely has the street cred in the enterprise market that it has a solid API and you can easily build custom applications on the platform.
