User friendly even for non-web developers

What do you like best about the product?
You'll be able to use Drupal as long as you know basic HTML and understand the back end of a website.

We migrated from DNN and it’s a world of difference. DNN is extremely buggy and difficult both on the back end and for website visitors. So it’s a huge improvement in comparison to that.

I like that it’s easy to find pages and content (though this is more of a theme-specific note).

Their media/file uploading method is awful. I really hope it’ll get fixed and become more intuitive soon.

We can also add security to a test site, to ensure we don’t have unauthorized users accessing content before it’s ready for the public.
What do you dislike about the product?
You definitely need a dedicated web developer to set up your Drupal site. For smaller businesses, a drag-and-drop site like Squrespace, Wix or Weebly is a much better choice

We’re on the latest version – 8.0 – and it’s got a few bugs and missing functionality. Even simple things like pop-ups are difficult to implement with our Drupal theme.

Media and file uploads are more complex than they should be. Wish it was easy to update and replace files. I heard it’s an upcoming fix, though.

The modules are not foolproof and completely user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we used DNN, pages frequently broke, disappeared or bugged out. Thankfully, Drupal is much more reliable. We can also revert pages, etc. if requirements change.

The overall business benefit is an easier-to-use website for users – internal and external.

It’s less frustrating and time-consuming to update our website. I can see us being able to train non-web-savvy team members to do simple updates as needed, if they need the flexibility of immediate updates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If switching from DNN, switch immediately! Drupal has a huge amount of advantages over DNN.

What do you like best about the product?
I liked the customizability of Drupal and how much we were able to create custom templates for our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Drupal requires a very niche knowledge set and our team was very specialized and unable to be utilized for other areas of the company to be "heavy hitters" as engineers cannot pick up the knowledge required for Drupal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to have a customized CMS that was enterprise grade and no longer something that was a custom build. We needed editors, marketers across the globe to be able to manage their own content with their own timelines that were easy and simple for them to update while adhering to a
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure initially you work with qualified consultants to help you with your initial set up to have success.

Helpful for non-profit chapters to customize local pages

  • January 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Switching to Drupal gave the organization the ability to bring the website into the 21st century, specifically making the entire website mobile-responsive and easier to navigate, while giving small chapters the ability to customize local pages with the same sleek look and navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
the approval process was cumbersome, especially for a top-level publisher who was also developing content on pages. Every single change had to go through at least three approvals to go live.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the ability to create a nationally recognized, responsive website, while also having the ability to provide access for updating and localizing chapter pages.

Drupal is Awesome for Non-Programmers

  • January 29, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's intuitive and easy to use for individuals who need to be able to access site backends but don't have a programming degree. My web coordinator was able to set up dummy content blocks and also leave instructions in the block, so if I had to build a new page without her (I have) all I really had to do was follow directions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's daunting when you haven't used it before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to be able to make changes quickly without having to go through a web coordinator.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to have someone go over everything with you and set up the modules you need to work with. I am not great at creating modules/pages from scratch, but if you have your web person dummy them out, then it's easy to add without help.

The most robust system

What do you like best about the product?
The versatility is the best. From small, single-page blogs to e-shops to complex portals - Drupal can do it all. As an editor, I value how many options it gives me to present the content I want to share and if I have an authorization, the easiness of adding new options.
What do you dislike about the product?
In most of the cases, it's not the platform for total beginners. You can make almost anything from Drupal, but with help of an experienced developer. But hey, we have found a solution! :)
And, as most of the open source solutions, you are responsible for updating your software. The company that develops the platform can make some amendments to make it safer, but It's your responsibility to install all of the patches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of our problems and problems of our business partners are solved with Drupal. We developed our own webpage od Rupal and it is our best advertisement. Instead of writing countless lines of code, e can build complex web pages like from Lego bricks - ready modules spare a lot of the time and prevent reinventing the wheel, again and again.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of comparisons on the Internet between different platforms. Of course, if an agency is better with Wordpress, it will say Wordpress is better. If their specialization is Joomla or Sitecore, those platforms would win. The truth is that there is no one, clear response which one is better - sorry! You have to evaluate the options on your own considering the strongest of your needs. Drupal, however, has a lot of "trial" options. You may want to build a demo of your product and see if it's ok. Also, there are many distribution versions that can help you with it, i.e. Droopler or Thunder
