Easy and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Drupal offers many widgets and modules that make managing our sites easy. While recreating functionality of existing modules is easy, creating the kind of new modules we need requires a developer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customization requires a developer, and some "blocks" and modules can be difficult to figure out their functionality. Trial, error and time sometimes required!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a lot of similar sites built fast for clients. Drupal allows this to happen easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have developers handy in case things get hairy you need something super custom, but generally you'll be fine with someone with basic HTML knowledge, who is comfortable with WYSIWYGs and has a little curiosity.

Easy and User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
New to this platform in the past few months: Great, free option, and is easy to navigate/user friendly. The ability to customize and implement modules, as well as creating our own styles is extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features missing that we would eventually like, but our web team has been working to code and implement modules to make up for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are giving employees a more direct route to making updates and edits on our website. Cleaner look and feel -- creating a full brand.
An infinitely flexible CMS
What do you like best about the product?
If you put the work into learning the basics, you will be able to build any kind of site you like using Drupal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although extremely flexible, Drupal does have a high learning curve if you intend to take advantage of it's best features such as views and custom content types.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With enough dedication, Drupal allows you the freedom to build any kind of website or web based app you need. The benefit of the strong Drupal community makes it easy to bypass any hurdles in your path.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't skimp on learning the fundamentals of views and cck.
Drupal - User-friendly website management.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Adding and removing content from the website is pretty simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customization is tricky. As with many WISIWYG type editors, you have to know some HTML to really get what you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content posting.
Drupal: A good way to build a Website.
What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is a programmers content management system. It is fairly easy to create new plug-ins/modules. The community meets once a month, and the meetups provide a good place to learn about the system. There are a lot of modules/plug-ins available. The community does it's best to review all new modules/plug-ins for security and compliance to Drupal standards. There are also several good themes to use as the basis for one own's custom themes. It can take much less than a day to get a simple website site up. Performance considerations are built into Drupal from the beginning.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unless you register at drupal.org for security updates, you don't know about the updates. Unlike WordPress you are responsible for downloading security updates yourself, while WordPress pushes the updates if you enable it.
While the Drupal community is working hard to create migration paths from older versions of Drupal to newer versions of Drupal, this is not the easiest task to perform.

I am a developer, the business problems I am addressing are the business problems of my customers.
A powerful rapid website creation tool with dynamic content
What do you like best about the product?
Huge library of Official and Community made modules.
Very high level of flexibility in design.
Every single element of the site can be replaced with a downloaded module.
Dynamic placement of non-static content.
High level of Developer options and full access to source.
Updated often.
Documentation is open source. Modules are often open source.

Documentation is open source. Modules are often open source.
What do you dislike about the product?
No method to automate the updating between Core sub-versions or Core versions, which feels strange as every other feature can be updated automatically very easily.
The UI can be confusing and cluttered at first glance, though with a bit of trial-and-error seems not too hard to figure for users of other similar CMS systems.
Unless you turn it off by editing the source, the rich text editor tends to delete certain html classes. Also the unmodified version is, frankly atrocious.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a website which has static and dynamic content combined, this website has static content in the form of descriptions of services our company provides mixed in with dynamic content in the form of blogs, contact pages, user pages and e-commerce.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a bit of time to read up all the major parts of the docs and to have a feel around the system to figure it all out.
Get a ready-made theme, at least for your first site, as the basic unthemed version of Drupal doesn't reflect the power of the system at all, in fact it makes it look rather weak.

The Best Framework For Enterprise Website Development
What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is written in PHP and has positioned itself as an advanced web applications development "Framework." This means if you have professional developers to help, you can build awesome website software and apps with advanced features without starting from scratch. Out of the box you get best-in-class security, user management, content types, and infinitely customizable functionality via a well documented Modules system. Drupal has a robust and rapidly growing community of developers worldwide.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some applications, Drupal can deliver bloated code that may be better addressed by custom coding. Drupal is a professional enterprise level solution. This means it is not well-suited for development requirements with short timelines and/or low budgets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teams I have been a member of have used Drupal to develop a range of custom web-based solutions including: B2C and B2B websites; a mobile app code activation system; sales qualification tools; asset allocation and portfolio builder tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Perfect for custom web-based solutions with complex functional, user administration, security, and systems integration requirements.
Drupal for web sites
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Drupal since 2003 and just love this product. It may be more difficult to set up, but once it is up and running you get full control over your site. Drupal 8 even makes things easier, with the ability to edit things right on the page.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't really found anything that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create easy to update web sites for smaller non-profits, businesses, community groups, etc as they don't have large budgets that allow for a full-time webmaster on staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd definitely recommend using it for your web site over software like WordPress. You may need to get a developer to help you get it set up, but you have more control and features available once it is set up. It's a lot more expensive to have to switch later, and I've done a number of changeovers from WordPress to Drupal.
CMS Refresh
What do you like best about the product?
Speed at which content can be edited, previewed, and published improves workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limitations on page layout and design to predetermined templates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better communicating our organization's products and services sigh improved responsiveness.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be very clear on your needs and vision for a website using Drupal, particularly if another company will be building the website framework for you to work within.
Excellent platform for complex sites
What do you like best about the product?
Drupal is a PHP CMS (platform) that is complex for developers but simple for content editors. I call it a platform because it is meant for much more than just basic CMS work. In addition to CMS's I've also built eCommerce sites, directories, portals, and web service providers with it. Drupal's real light shines in its contributed modules. With 30,000 modules that are contributed to the community you can find just about anything you want.
For developers, Drupal will have an excellent API that, once learned, will help them develop in ways that leverage many Drupal features that they would otherwise have to build. This allows for easy "hooking" into other functionality and maintaining very secure standards.
For businesses, it has a fairly mature set of capabilities once contributed modules are installed. Drupal has a handful of content workflow modules, calendaring, a versatile ACL that you can define, and a system setup that, if you're up to the task, lets you define much of it yourself.

What do you dislike about the product?
Drupal is very complex. I tend to lean towards WordPress websites unless the site is very complex. If there are things like complex users systems/ACL I will switch to Drupal, however development time in Drupal just takes longer because it's more of a platform than a CMS which handles many things for you.
Drupal's upgrade path has drastic changes for major versions. Going from v6 to v7 was a total site rebuild, and moving to v8 is going to be the same. This often leads to some great new features, or fixing problems with past versions, but it really makes me reconsider the CMS each time this rebuild has to happen.
While the development community is strong, it pales in comparison to the direction that WordPress is going and the pace as well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex business websites, CMS's, portals, eCommerce systems. The benefits are a very specific and prescriptive API that allows for secure development.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a learning curve for developers. You are likely not going to use Drupal out of the box, so make sure you have the business plan & people in place to build and maintain the site while enabling employees to invest themselves in the community for continued development.
