Overall Satisfaction with Drupal

Drupal is our main CMS/framework for our complex web solutions (in-house) and to develop websites that require advance data relationship for our customers. Websites starting from simple corporate directories to web apps that rely on data structure and data relationships are well served by this powerful CMS. For small or very basic websites we use some more basic software because Drupal is too much power for basic web tasks.

Pros

  • Create and manipulate data to show it on different views, queries and sections. It is like a WEB CMS like you can do it on a Database with a simple interface.
  • Multiple content types, fields, relationships created over a strong, yet simple to use, backend.
  • Great community support
  • Ease to develop over the Drupal framework. Well documented.
  • Open source

Cons

  • It needs a more powerful infrastructure vs other CMSs
  • GUI is great but could be improved.
  • Themes are not as usable as some on other CMSs
  • Learning curve is not simple because of its complexity.
  • Better time to market on development.
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Capability and reliability
WordPress, Joomla, Expression Engine, Umbraco, Rails.
