Overall Satisfaction with Drupal
We used Drupal for our large ecommerce and blog site. We originally went with it because at the time, it was more customizable than WordPress. Or so we were told. We have done many customizations to the checkout interface and product pages. We have had our site on Drupal for over a decade.
Pros
- Modular design offers customizability
- Some important functionality built in
- Community of contributors for add-on modules
Cons
- In our experience, the upgrade process is horrendous or nonexistent
- I think the amount of things that need a coder to change is too high
- In my opinion, it is not user friendly or intuitive
- I think we have wasted so much money on this site
- In my experience, Developers need to do extensive work to change anything
- In our experience, much more expensive and time consuming than WordPress
I think WordPress beats Drupal in every possible way. The upgrades to newer versions are almost trivial, unlike Drupal which, in our experience, requires hundreds or thousands of hours of work and untold sums of money simply to go from one version to the next! In my opinion, it's complete insanity that we have to put up with this when WordPress has made it so effortless to upgrade.
