Drupal Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Drupal for our large ecommerce and blog site. We originally went with it because at the time, it was more customizable than Wordpress. Or so we were told. We have done many customizations to the checkout interface and product pages. We have had our site on Drupal for over a decade.

I say, if you hate Wordpress and other options, then using Drupal might be for you. Otherwise, I think Wordpress beats Drupal in every way hands down. We've used Wordpress for all our other sites after the ONE Drupal site, and we're looking to move off it on that one last site as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Drupal is our current CMS that we use to host our website for our financial services firm and it's subsidiary. I publish articles on our website to provide landing pages for our Weekly Newsletter email, publish media mentions and press releases, create tokens for rate changes, update website pages to keep up with content changes and upload PDFs to our website.

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall, I would give my rating of Drupal a 7/10 because there is an easy user experience for those without a website background but there is some technology work required to build more website capabilities that aren't as user-friendly. Drupal is specifically well suited to update content (like changing Relationship Manager cards when there is employee turnover), post announcements (putting up a holiday banner to let our customers know the dates we will be closed over Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc., and creating a sophisticated website hierarchy of pages (for our firm, several dropdowns depending on if you're looking for personal banking, business banking, investment banking, about us, etc.).

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been working on Drupal as a team for over five years and have been providing solutions in the e-commerce space. We have found it somewhat complex for the clients, but at the same time, it offers great flexibility for the development team. We highly recommend Drupal to our potential clients.

We developed a corporate website using Drupal, which features a large number of static pages and several dynamic functions, including a contact us form, location finder, and job posting. We utilized Drupal with some customization to achieve the desired functionalities. We have also worked on e-commerce sites using Drupal, and there is a scope for improvements, specifically in cataloging.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

building out new stories on a corporate newsroom, creating new pages for audiences to learn more about the business, creating a press center for media to download relevant assets, publishing press releases, publishing external facing business updates, hosting an about us page, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

I'd only recommend Drupal for developers or coders. I wouldn't recommend it for editorial purposes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Over the years, we've tried out a lot of different CMS systems to create marketing and e-commerce websites for various divisions of the company. Drupal has been around for a long time, and we've given their CMS a ride in hopes of creating a website to showcase some of our company's products and information to visitors from targeted pet groups in our industry.

Likelihood to Recommend

Drupal is well-suited for development teams seeking flexibility to scale on a dependable and secure coding platform. However, I would not recommend it to average developers or those looking for a more plug-and-play style CMS to get up and running quickly. It's also not the best solution for very large (database-heavy) websites, as the system can bog down server resources with its code.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Drupal for our website design through our web developer. We were able to customize the look and feel of the website and manage the content quickly. By using Drupal for website design, we were able to make changes in real time as opposed to needing to create a trouble ticket and waiting for support to update website content.

Likelihood to Recommend

There were some aspects, such as the drag and drop capabilities that we liked about Drupal, however, whenever customer support was needed, we had difficulty making a connection. Tasks that required additional support often led to us needing to create a trouble ticket with customer service. I was able to find some videos online that provided assistance, but for more challenging needs, it was a challenge getting the answers we needed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Drupal for more complex web applications and sites. Drupal is a very dynamic tool that can fit many different projects, from a simple website with dynamic content or user access to more complex applications like multiuser social sites. Drupal is a great tool to learn how to apply, although it helps to know PHP and how to customize a website's design (HTML/CSS).

Likelihood to Recommend

Drupal is best suited for a dynamic website that needs customization and may need different user roles. It’s also great at learning to build a complex web application without knowing how to code a complex website. Although it can be implemented with minimal coding, knowing how to debug is almost necessary.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Drupal to build our website. It was incredibly limited and difficult. Because we are a nonprofit organization, many of our staff are volunteers or part-time. This made it very difficult to make updates, because managing and editing the site were not user-friendly processes. We moved to WordPress, which gave us so many more options (plugins) to create a manageable user interface and to train our volunteers to work within the website and keep things organized and updated. We're very happy we switched even with the initial cost of transitioning.

Likelihood to Recommend

Drupal might be a good place to build a website if you are a developer and know exactly what you want and how to code it. Additionally, if the website will only ever be modified by developers. In situations where it would eb beneficial to have many people access the website (who are not developers), I'd highly recommend going with a different tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<ul><li>To develop content oriented and transaction oriented sites</li><li>Non technical users can easily build sites using Drupal</li><li>Drupal 8 and above have responsive design included.</li><li>Easy access to inline edit mode that directly allows the users to edit components then and there without having them to move to a whole new page as in case of full page edit mode.</li></ul>

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a team that comprises a less number of developers and large number of content writers than Drupal is a must.

It is written using PHP which almost all developers habe experience with or can get easily accustomed to.

Multilingual functionalities of Drupal are exceptional.

Last but not the least, if you are looking for content management systems then look no where Drupal is your answer.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Drupal daily, that's our main driver for any websites and apps we are developing, this has been the case for the past 12 years for me personally, the scope is as wide as a small local webshop to large enterprise organizations, connecting multiple websites as services to each other, we also use Drupal as a content hub as a headless CMS, or just fetching data off of it with exposed API

Likelihood to Recommend

Well, I'm definitely biased, I've been working with Drupal for 12+ years, and I can say it's appropriate for any size/scale of a project, whether it's a small catalog website or a huge corporation. If I want to dial it down to a specific use case, Drupal is best what most customers/clients that have high-security standards, and need to have extensive editorial experience and control over their website's architecture. Due to its core design, Drupal can connect with each part of its own and any external third-party resources quite easily. For a less-suited scenario, I might say that if you don't have enough budget to get proper work done, sometimes just using WordPress with a pre-designed theme might sound better to you, but if you have the budget and the time, always go with Drupal
