Very easy to use

  • January 23, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
Let me say that I'm not a developer or a designer, so I haven't been on the back end of Drupal in that way. I am, however, an editor, & I post regularly to the educational website our organization runs, so I use Drupal basically all day every day. It is SO much easier to use than Wordpress & the CMS we used before that, which I can no longer even remember the name of. For users, at least, Drupal is fairly self-explanatory, straight-forward, & easy to figure out, at least in terms of posting & editing site content. It took me a bit to get the hang of it, but now, aside from the occasional glitch here & there, every day with Drupal is smooth sailing.
What do you dislike about the product?
We seem to run into a number of strange glitches at least once a week, some weird issue like a random change in site font or content turning up in places it's not meant to be. Because I'm not a developer, it's difficult for me to say where they stem for or why this seems to keep happening, but it does indeed seem to keep happening, & while our developers are always quick to work on a fix, it's annoying that it seems to happen so frequently in the first place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starting to use Drupal allowed my organization to create a beautiful & robust new site with millions of visitors each year since we launched in 2014. It took us from a nonprofit organization with one difficult-to-manage organizational website to a nonprofit that runs one of the most popular websites worldwide in our area of expertise (in addition to a new organizational website, which is now much prettier & much easier to use). Our editors & site administrators find both sites much easier to use, cutting down on the amount of time it takes them (us!) to do this sort of work & thus freeing us up to create more content & more compelling content.

Very intuitive CMS

What do you like best about the product?
It's so intuitive! I worked in the full translation of a well-known website and even though I had never used it before, I only needed a couple of hours induction to continue managing it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whenever there's a glitch, things can get ugly as it seems that customer service can be a little bit slow. Other than that, I would highly recommend this CMS to anybody wanting to build a strong, professional-looking website that allows for team collaboration and reliable response.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I feel it allows a lot of flexibility for design.

What do you like best about the product?
Flexible. Can bring in modules others have created easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very intuitive for non-technical users who are trying to use the CMS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content management systems for publishers that are scaleable and flexible.

Good if you are looking for small, simple use cases. Not the right choice for us.

What do you like best about the product?
Rich community, many plug-ins, active development. I also like that they are investing in a way to do relatively easy and simple installations, which is getting better with each released version.
What do you dislike about the product?
First of all, it is in PHP and our use cases unfortunately made it necessary to touch the code. Getting even a relatively small custom website to work as we wanted was quite an investment of time. Settings and configuration are a mess, to be honest, with inconsistent naming, hidden and obscure settings, etc.

At this moment, I would not recommend Drupal for any website that is not trivial to set up, simply because there are better alternatives that don't need as big a time investment and yield similar results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Drupal for our company website - i.e. have some content, a blog and some sections with more or less frequently updated information. The obvious benefit is that non-technical people can be taught to use the CMS and produce and update content.

Drupal for web sites

  • July 05, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Drupal since 2003 and just love this product. It may be more difficult to set up, but once it is up and running you get full control over your site. Drupal 8 even makes things easier, with the ability to edit things right on the page.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't really found anything that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create easy to update web sites for smaller non-profits, businesses, community groups, etc as they don't have large budgets that allow for a full-time webmaster on staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd definitely recommend using it for your web site over software like WordPress. You may need to get a developer to help you get it set up, but you have more control and features available once it is set up. It's a lot more expensive to have to switch later, and I've done a number of changeovers from WordPress to Drupal.
