Overall Satisfaction with Drupal
Drupal is used to manage our primary website. It is managed by the Marketing department, without any involvement from the IT department. It serves as a quick, effective and relatively inexpensive way to manage over a thousand pages of content. In addition, the direction towards API first has significant savings, allowing us to build a solution that integrates many technologies into one interface for content editors.

Joomla is terrible. I would never recommend Joomla over Drupal. Drupal's community is much more active and new product updates come out much more quickly.
WordPress is obviously great and a popular solution, but will struggle with sites that have too much content. WordPress is like a car, great for navigating small streets and getting somewhere nearby. Drupal is like an airplane, great for traveling long distances more efficiently.
SharePoint, another enterprise CMS, can be even more difficult to work with than Drupal. If you don't have a solid SharePoint person in house to help manage updates and content, you could find yourself stuck.
