Overall Satisfaction with Drupal
My company's website is built using Drupal. It is fast, scalable and easy to understand with just basic web knowledge. To be clear - I am not a developer - but work on the frontend building pages, adding events and modules. When I was in the job market - I did notice that a lot of large scale companies use Drupal.
- Producing pages - I can start and complete a new page in Drupal in just a few minutes. It is really easy to understand and very straight forward.
- Updates - Drupal is constantly being updated with security patches, new versions and works with most new web technologies
- Cross Browser friendly
- Organization leaves a little to be desired. In the version that we are using ( 7 ) - sometimes when you remove an asset, it is hard to see if there are any other versions of the assets on different pages.
- The asset library can be a little more organized. Finding something that you uploaded can be difficult to locate if you do not know where it was originally posted.
- It has given us a trusted platform to build our site out. Primarily with the updates that Drupal has - security is never an issue
- Finding a developer that is fluent in Drupal is easy to find - very popular platform.
Security-wise and traffic-wise Drupal is built to handle a lot. While the other platforms mentioned ( mainly WordPress ) are great and have a large community, I would only use Drupal for an Enterprise level platform to build a website on. I first learned about Drupal about 10 years ago while in college. It has passed the test of time and proven to be one of the top platforms for large scale companies.
