What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is an extremely modular system that can do whatever you need it to do (with enough modules and code). If your client needs "XYZ" - you can do it. Drupal is "free" as in puppies. You don't pay anything to get it, but you should expect to take it to the vet, buy food for it, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because of what I like best (you can do anything you want), Drupal has historically been complicated to learn and write code for. The latest version, Drupal 8, is a step in the right direction, but still more complicated than other systems. As a result, Drupal websites tend to take longer to build and cost more money to implement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to engage more users in more ways. We can build complex systems for our endusers, while only exposing the to the parts of the website that they need to concern themselves with. Are you endusers laymen who don't know code? No problem! Give them a WYSIWYG interface and use the Paragraphs module or Panels to drag and drop various page elements into place.

Our clients tend to be very happy with their Drupal websites after a little training.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
At the time of writing (May 31st, 2016) Drupal 8 is the best place to start. Not all contributed modules are ready for showtime, but the average website is going to do just fine starting in Drupal 8. The benefits (increased performance, user experience, security, etc) are worth the wait.

Powerful, but not easy for non-web developers

What do you like best about the product?
I like the many modules available for Drupal to add onto your base install to make it a more powerful system. It works great for eCommerce websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
The navigation and trying to find things is difficult in Drupal. I still haven't been able to create reports in Drupal for my products, which would be really great.

Each installation of Drupal is different, so even googling things and looking in the support forums are not helpful, because they often mention modules or features that are not on my actual website. Simple things like activating blog comments makes the comments before the blog post versus after, and it takes a developer to fix that formatting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefit of a beautiful looking website that's really great for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure you have a strong web developer able to assist you with your site on a regular basis.

Updating content, blog posts, and products are pretty easy on the backend. But going beyond that you may need (pricey) web development help.

Drupal is a great and accessible website tool

What do you like best about the product?
Important for our job, it can be used accessibly and design accessible websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I don't do all of the backend work, I do think having more instruction and ease of use could be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Drupal for all of our website needs. Drupal really helps us create an accessible website and interact more with the public.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think more resources to work with would be nice. Searching could be a lot better.

Great CMS with a lot of useful features

What do you like best about the product?
I like that Drupal makes it easy to develop and operate the complete website without in-depth knowledge of programming languages. There is no need to code everything from scratch , and it is unified nicely in one CMS system with flexible features that let you personalize website you are creating.
What do you dislike about the product?
You do have to learn and get used to interface and some features are not obvious at first. User needs to realize where the sections go and how to operate CMS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I haven't used it for large projects but for smaller sites and blogs it worked great for me and it is free, so the objective was to create great looking functional blog that do not look like it is cookie cutter solution but instead is individualized and customized up to my needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just would like it to get more and more customizable over time with better templates and other possible custom plugins.
