Overall Satisfaction with Drupal
Drupal is the main development platform that we use at my company. We currently use versions 7 and 8. We are in the process of migrating all version 7 instances to version 8. We use Drupal to house and promote all of our various assets, promote events, track registrations via integration. Drupal is used by various departments within my organization but is run by one main group whereas all of the others are supporting it. Drupal is used to both promote our products as well as serve as a singular housing unit for all resources, forms, event information, and company information.
- Drupal integrates very well with all of our technology, ie. Salesforce, Marketo, etc.
- Drupal's interface allows us to easily update and push out new material with ease.
- Drupal is a very well known technology that has made it easy for us to find talent that is familiar with it.
- There are certain limitations in the amount of information that can be passed from Drupal to Salesforce, specifically in areas of how long viewers are on a particular page.
- Drupal uses up a ton of memory space, due to how large our sites are, it has been costly to add in the required hardware.
- Our overall site traffic has grown exponentially since we have moved to it.
- We have been able to bring a standardized format to all of our resources and communications.
- Promoting new products is much easier due to the easy to use interface of Drupal, we can get a new product launch page up in record time compared to our old platform.
We have previously used WordPress, we found that the site is limited in its potential compared to Drupal. The biggest slow down we have seen is in the use of plug ins, unlike Drupal, WordPress experienced severe slowdowns. The user interface is rather slow and unrefined compared to Drupal, Drupal definitely is much more visually appealing and overall much more easy to use.
