Great foundation for website

  • July 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that the team I worked with was so kind and helpful with explaining how to change and adjust things on the backend of Drupal.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints - I liked how many variations Drupal had, but those could be tough to navigate through. Overall, having more choices is not usually an issue, just more to think about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Foundation for a website.

The Benefits of Drupal

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We looked into headless drupal, with static files out on the live server. The ease of getting content created that can be used in multiple places with tagging, etc is awesome. We wanted a modular site where we could grab those content sections, even dynamic ones that pull content in based on taxonomic variables. It is so much faster, takes less development, and freed up resources for other things. Running headless, the web visitor didn't have to interact with Drupal directly, they are just served up the files. This is one of the headaches we had with WP, too. We just want the content out there loading quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to have your templates and design in place. It's not super flexible if you need to be going back and making changes constantly to the global stuff.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It freed up development resources for more strategic projects (less things breaking in less places). This allowed us to allocate more resources to projects that boost revenue.

Drupal was a great product, but it has not kept up with the times

  • July 28, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has been secure for the past 5 years.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extremely hard to update and modify pages and just about everything. Its really over bloated in almost every aspect of the software. Once of the other big weaknesses is Speed!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our web site resides on the CMS platform. Not to many benefits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go with another platform. WordPress is the best for a lead gen site.

Fantastic go-to-market speed

  • July 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We need a solution for an in-store kiosk and Drupal was quick to learn and stable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. The application is rock-solid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In-store kiosk development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not be afraid to push the limits of the applications. The backside support to the application is first class with miles of forums to help you sort out anything you need quickly.

Works But There Are Glitches

  • July 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The WYSIWIG features available to page editors are fairly intuitive, easy for making basic page content and formatting changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's easy for editors, with one misplaced copy-and-paste, to create inconsistent heading sizes that they can't easily fix without going into the code, making for more headaches and missteps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Decentralization of webmaster's responsibilities in page editing, freeing up their time to do more important work like SEO, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Editors should know some basic HTML or the admin person will end up doing a lot of basic coding fixes.

Very useful, difficult to manege

  • July 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its a very useful interface where you can build whatever webservice you need. Has good comunnity behind where to find help to develop your project.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need a high level of knowledge to manage and design, based on modules you need to configure or create, you'll have trouble if you don't manage it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Good Web design, fixes any issue you have and makes a good job if you know hoy to manage it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool to develop any project, make sure you have the necessary level to manage it, if you don't use third party solutions.

Intuitive to Use, But Needs More Ongoing Support than Expected

  • July 18, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its open source meaning its widely supported by the public. There are many modules providing lots of additional functionality and its a very easy CMS took to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being open source it means that module site you build and they rely on, may no longer become supported or bugs you identify may not be fixed. Whilst this is a similar to some larger applications, should a bug not be fixed it means you having to redesign parts of your website, or build a bespoke workaround
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Utilising the Drupal framework allows a quick and easy way to begin building websites for my clients, which vary from small to medium sized businesses. It means that whilst I personally have an understanding of HTML, the use of this CMS, means to get a site up and running this understanding is not required.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a free CMS which is easy to use and well supported within the user community , Drupal is for you. However with its very regular updates in terms of the Drupal framework and modules you will need to invest sufficient time to test any upgrades out before deploying into your production environment.

Versatile and powerful CMS with a large community (but heavy as well)

  • July 17, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is a great framework and CMS for those that need a complex solution but don't want to code from the ground up or code at all. The large list of modules (plugins) available allow you to find a solution to almost any feature you request or think. And even if that weren't the case, it is easy to find programmers that could create a module for your needs. Ecommerce, organic groups, layouts, views and many other challenges are solvable without the need to write a single line of code. Constant updates make the CMS very future proof and safe.
What do you dislike about the product?
The CMS in itself is quite heavy if you start to add too many modules. However, this can be optimized and reduced, other CMS offer better loading times. The learning curve is quite steep as well. It's not a CMS for everyone, but it's a great tool to tackle complex systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ecommerce environment is fantastic and the best one in my opinion in terms of Open Source and free solutions out there.

Great product for content management platform

  • July 13, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Product is great for building websites that require custom workflows. It has GUI-based, functionality for creating content types and custom content management requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel upgrading the modules is easily done thru command line tools rather than UI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Doing websites for the client is lot easier than ever. I have built 4 of them till now. Client gave a good understand on the work we have done
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Drupal is a convenient for content management. And will prefer over other content project management
