Overall Satisfaction with Drupal

Drupal is used by my department as a content management tool to reach our target audience in multiple digital channels. We manage the educational author's key works, charities managed by them, their educational talks, the reader's page. All this is managed using the Drupal open-source framework for which we have a license. The ability to apply different themes for each website is useful in managing multiple authors and giving their websites a unique look all through Drupal's specific themes and skins which are applied through a few clicks.
  • Open source framework and localization.
  • Multiple themes and skins for user's webpages and websites.
  • Allowing them to write PHP modules is a big advantage, but at times integrating them is a slight challenge due to the version on which the developer is working.
  • Security and new release notifications are a hassle as they happen too often, but are still a good thing to have.
  • Quick turn around time and shorter go-to-market times.
  • Huge Drupal community - Never short of feedback and ideas on problems and their solutions.
We did a comparison of Drupal against Joomla, WordPress, and Ingeniux. We found that its multiple themes available for web pages, user management, comment management, and form generation stands apart from its competitors.
Drupal is very well suited for creating blogs, and websites for people like music artists, authors, and universities. It is very easy to customize and the deployment is not a hassle at all as the changes are reflected instantly. It is very scalable too. Scenarios where Drupal is less suited are when it comes to security or having your own video player or media player. Though it has robust support for images, the support for video could use some work.
