Easy to use and very customize-able

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I don't need to know code to use it, and that I can view the code of what I design so I can learn it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that if the window is open too long nothing saves. It's so easy to work on something for longer than the allotted time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Drupal has made it easy to create a branded website for our brand. It has benefited us because we can relay so much information on our website and link all the pages we need.

CMS Drupal

  • November 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is an open source content management system. It offers a huge variety of add-ons. As a template based management system like Joomla it is very community driven.
You certainly will find lots of e-commerce or blogging websites using Drupal on the internet.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me the installation script was not very user friendly and it required more advanced knowledge to complete the installation. Drupal can be the system to go for, however when you want a simple blogging website you might have a look at other systems like wordpress or joomla as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Drupal does have a good user management, which allows you to configure permission rights between different user groups pretty well. Keeping that in mind it helps to create serperate teams that work on specific parts on the system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out the documentation and the discussion boards of Drupal first and try to determine if this is the right system for you in the long run.

large scale web projects, that are very development heavy.

Drupal 8's Rearchitecture is a productivity Win

  • November 09, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With the Drupal 8 upgrade, the workflow of pushing configuration changes from a development server to a QA server and on to production is one of the biggest wins. Each configuration change can be stored in a YML file and checked in to a code repository - no more syncing databases. Great improvements have also been made to the authoring experience for content and block placement.

Extending Drupal has gotten modernized - the theme system now uses the powerful and secure Twig templating system, and the extension modules are now controlled using OOP practices like plugins, extending classes, interfaces, traits and default configuration is stored in YML files instead of needing to be custom coded.

Performance improvements are also everywhere - Drupal's core now include's Facebook's BigPipe technology for improved caching of content that does not change between page loads, allowing custom content sections to appear as they are generated, meaning the time to first render of the page is greatly improved.

Continuous improvement by the community - instead of going 5 years between major version releases, the Drupal community has committed to releasing new functionality in Drupal core every 6 months. All of these releases so far (4 minor releases since the launch of Drupal 8) have added essential functionality to Drupal, in the realm of accessibilty, authoring experience, content moderation and staging,
What do you dislike about the product?
If your programmers were used to Drupal 6 or 7 development, there will be a bit of a learning curve - the content admin experience will be incredibly familiar, but the theming and module development has changed quite a bit.

Some popular Drupal 7 modules have not yet been ported to version 8, or have been obsoleted by new features in core or other community forces. 90% of what you need should exist, but some industry-specific features may need rearchitecting or paying a developer to port a module. This is not dissimilar from the last major feature upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Websites, Intranets, Product Catalogs, eCommerce, Crowdsourced content, Gamification, Publishing, Learning Management, CRM, Government services, and creating a web interface to applications that have none, or making a search-engine-friendly version of same.

Website development
