Drupal is a very user friendly Web Content Management System

  • October 28, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is a very user friendly Web Content Management System, it has open modules which can be accessed by all users in an open forum and suggest different features making it upgrade every now and then..
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the integration touch points are not that great and ecommerce module is not very exhaustive, which they can work on and improve. Also upgrade from 7-8 takes a lot of time close to one year..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it very easy to plug and play with modules and you can contribute for modules as well, which makes it easy for user to solve problems
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Improve Quickly and keep upgrading on daily basis for the patches added


    Online Media

Well-rounded content management system

  • October 26, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The "what you see is what you get" system is easy to understand and use. Really like how it is very forgiving of mistakes - if you reload a page without saving, your work is still there. Hitting the "back" key doesn't clear the work either. Great safety net.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system has difficulty handling high amounts of embeds, and page generation time is inconsistent. Its internal search function isn't the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It basically facilitates everything to maintain a large website with huge amounts of media and features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid of playing around with the system. It is forgiving and easy to look at.

What do you like best about the product?
This platform integrates every tool necessary for an amazing UX/UI development standpoint. I like that everything is streamlined and user-friendly, and you don't need to waste time digging for what you need to create your site.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any complaints about the system, except that there is a small learning curve for new developers when picking up the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Agency website development for a variety of clients. We've seen less margin for errors and quicker construction of sites.

Powerful - Complex - CMS

  • October 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the administrator can have a variety of users with a broad spectrum of capabilities. If I only want a user to change photos or images on a certain page, I can limit them to that and not have to be concerned that they could even touch the original.
This CMS is better when it comes to large scale organizations' needs.
I like that it can be customized by the user / developer and that it is so powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike - which keeps me from using it anymore - there are limitations to the amount of plugins and themes compared to WordPress. Additionally, the complexity of this CMS provides such a steep learning curve that it is difficult to teach this to university students (and that is my profession).
It isn't that themes don't exist, they do - however they are very pricey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a website for clients that will allow the client to take over once the development has been completed and accepted. Additionally, it is a CMS to introduce to university students that are unaware of what a CMS is.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering Drupal, do so only if you have extra time, coding experience, and a good understanding of how CMS' work. I would suggest that you view other sites that have used it and see what you like and/or dislike - then, if possible, contact the web developer and ask some questions that may lead you into using it or not. At least you will have some insight.

Review from Drupal Developer

  • October 16, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Great CMS, out of box features that Drupal provides are great, various distributions for different kind of websites, ton of modules and themes provided.
What do you dislike about the product?
Decoupling of HTML is now being possible but not to a full length extend. I would really like Frontend to be decoupled completely from the Drupal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a CMS website with editorial and publishing team flow. It's the best CMS in the market for big website like one we are developing.
Out of the box work flows, themes, modules and the community is getting strong everyday.

Drupal is easy to use with the templates they have in place.

  • October 16, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how Drupal makes it easy to change the layout on a web page. It has different options for layouts and you can choose the one you want to use. I find this extremely helpful when designing web pages with lots of pictures.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like that Drupal lets you quickly undo changes that have just been made. It lets you see who has last edited a certain page and what time. I also like that Drupal gives you a separate url for pdf's you upload. There is also a help section for when I have a question.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I maintain the website of a branch of the environmental center at CU Boulder. Drupal is easy so even students are able to make changes.

Versatile open source CMS for Large sites.

  • October 10, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is great for very large sites, when you want to display content from the same source, but shown many different ways, with active updating, and even on the fly page creation in response to a query or changing requirements, so that you don't have to manually re-edit content at the individual page level. YOu can edit in the original content page, and then it is automatically shown all the places it appears. It's relatively easy to administer for someone with previous CMS experience, especially with versions 7 and 8.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a very long time between major upgrades, and installing them is not a simple matter. Even small security updates are a big deal, and the site has to be backed up and shut down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't have a large staff, but we do have a large website, with a lot of information in different places. Drupal makes it easy for us to enter updates or new content, and have it appear correctly updated everywhere it is is supposed to appear.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Drupal is excellent for large or complex websites, but it you have only basic web design or HTML experience, or haven't used a CMS before, I recommend hiring a professional team to design your first site for you and show you how to administer it. Once it's up and running it's not hard to update and maintain at all.
