Overall Satisfaction with Drupal

Drupal is the content management system we choose when we made our website again.
It is used by both marketing and IT department :
The marketing dept uses it mainly to manage content, add or modify pages, and get customer behavior insights,
while the IT dept uses it mainly for user/access management and maintenance purposes.

Pros

  • Enterprise-level security and performance
  • Easy skin/ UX-UI customisation
  • Easy plugin management
  • Large web community in case of need

Cons

  • Development is complicated and hard to learn, even for experimented developers
  • Time-consuming maintenance (frequent updates and patches to install)
  • Plugin development could be easier
  • Far better web site time to market
  • Better UX/UI
  • Reduced IT costs
We first had a WordPress-based website, that evolved to a custom third-party developed content management system. In both cases, that involved additional costs for any change request, any security or any scalability need.
WordPress didn't meet enterprise requirements. That also implied a strong [dependence] towards the IT provider that developed the custom content management system.

Do you think Drupal delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Drupal's feature set?

Yes

Did Drupal live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Drupal go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Drupal again?

Yes

On my sense, it is by far the best enterprise Content Management System, at a time when security and scalability are highly required. But consider another way if you can't afford a robust 3rd party IT provider or a specialized/dedicated IT team that can provide support for non IT users.
