Overall Satisfaction with Drupal

I use Drupal for more complex web applications and sites. Drupal is a very dynamic tool that can fit many different projects, from a simple website with dynamic content or user access to more complex applications like multiuser social sites. Drupal is a great tool to learn how to apply, although it helps to know PHP and how to customize a website's design (HTML/CSS).

Pros

  • Generate complex websites.
  • Allow different level user roles.
  • Create multi-site applications that have multiple mini-sites on one domain.
  • Build a complex dynamic website for corporate use.

Cons

  • Debugging can be difficult when modules conflict.
  • Permissions can be confusing if you’re not sure of user roles and how they function.
  • A better default image taxonomy and organization would be nice, sans dedicated module.
  • Drupal has streamlined complex web application creation.
  • Drupal has minimized the need for our developers, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.
  • Drupal is a great way to quickly implement a custom project.
It has a very steep learning curve. When starting with Drupal, the functionality and setup have to be learned, which is complex in comparison to tools like WordPress. Drupal is more powerful and can create a wider range of applications, but it definitely has a learning curve. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make a dynamic web application bigger than the scale of a WordPress blog.
Drupal can be more complex to learn, but it offers a much wider range of applications. Drupal’s front and backend can be customized from design to functionality to allow for a wide range of uses. If someone wants to create something more complex than a simple site or blog, Drupal can be an amazing asset to have at hand.

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

Drupal is best suited for a dynamic website that needs customization and may need different user roles. It’s also great at learning to build a complex web application without knowing how to code a complex website. Although it can be implemented with minimal coding, knowing how to debug is almost necessary.
