The most flexible site-building tool out there!

  • October 09, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal can be almost all things to almost all people. It has nearly unlimited power under the hood, but it's presented in a way that a site builder (or anyone without coding experience) can build a custom site using the community's amazing modules and themes. It's more than a CMS! Drupal is also very easy to extend and write custom modules and themes for yourself.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be overly complicated. Building a Drupal site can sometimes be daunting and expensive because there is usually a "Drupal" way to do things which involves research and learning, and potentially community support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're building big, complex websites with Drupal that don't fit well into a simpler CMS such as WordPress. We're creating a "product" out of our work on the Drupal platform, allowing us to save time and standardize our development on a particular set of features. We support a large number of community modules as well as our own theme and are using it for every project which it makes sense for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, but don't let initial impressions scare you off if it seems complex. There is a lot to take in, but there is a great community out there able to answer your questions and help you get started, and the payoff is worth the effort!

What do you like best about the product?
I like its friendly-user interface, it's simple to use and reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Drupal has limitations when it comes to text editing. Some improvement is necessary. However, I'm using Drupal 7, don't know if this has been fixed with version 8.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Web management, blogging, content management, translations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great CMS to manage your website


    Marketing and Advertising

Very controling and limited

  • October 05, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Not much. I don't like the environment. I don't like that I have to click things three times to complete a process. Must I go on?
What do you dislike about the product?
How everything is controlled and coding often doesn't work. I use WordPress in my personal business and like it much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Campus-wide look and feel the same. Easier content management for individual silos within the campus.

Almost the best out there!

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is amazingly simple to use, even for a person who has just stepped foot into content management. Though simple, there is not one thing you can't do in Drupal. This is content management of the highest order.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, it can get really slow and works you up. People at Drupal can really do something about the slowness of the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The entire website content is on Drupal and therefore, editing it is really easy. The earlier system we used to use was a pain in the neck. Drupal has saved us from nightmares.

Drupal is powerful... but it comes at a price

  • October 04, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal has a lot of customization options, you can really make your site exactly how you want it with a lot of powerful features and plugins.
What do you dislike about the product?
Drupal is complicated. More than anything else I've used. We hired a team to design and build our website and it was extremely expensive to do. After that, even simple changes and updates require paying someone to do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our website is much prettier, functional, and usable than what we had before. It gives our visitors a much better experience than we were able to provide before switching.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you put the time and money into making what you want, you can get a great website.

What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could use a more intuitive user flow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its a one-stop for content at our organization. Tagging enables auto filtering content and making it easier to use.

Drupal for all your needs!

  • September 27, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is "built on the shoulders of giants" and is our favorite solution for CMS. The modular functionality gives us the ability to create custom website solutions for clients while using projects created by the community.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because so many projects are individually funded, sometimes updates are not timely and/or support is nonexistent. Also sometimes a module will update and break custom code that we have written.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our favorite implementation of Drupal was for an artist who really wanted a variety of visual ways to tell her story. We created zoomable images that work like a Google map to showcase her murals. We created embedded slideshows, ability for her to easily gang up 2 or more photos in a horizontal line... and all fully responsive!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Drupal 8 has lost the speed advantage, so beware. I'm still a fan because of the great flexibility in creating custom sites for our clients.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've moved over all our old websites into Drupal and our customers have really enjoyed the new platform.

Huge learning curve

  • August 18, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to write HTML in body field. Ability to build full pages by using small bits of content packed into one panel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve for beginners. It really took far too much effort to learn to do simple things. On top of having to come in and fix someone else work when I'd never actually used Drupal before. It was a nightmare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Drupal to market our Smart Home products for our sister company, Savant. One of the benefit of using Drupal is being able to make quick content changes without having to manually code things in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a class on how to use the CMS. It's not as easy to understand as Wordpress or Joomla. Invest in learning more about it before implementing it.
