A good product that helps me to manage complex digital solutions
My advice to others would be that Drupal is not only a CMS, you need to learn the Drupal fundamentals before to start the project. Drupal is a handy tool whenever you work on a digital infrastructure broad project and not only a simple website. So if you have a big project, you can use Drupal. But if you have a small website, like a blog or simple website, my advice would be not to use Drupal, because Drupal is too complex and the cost to maintain the platform can be too high, related to the value of your website, for example. If you have a website with a big product catalog, for example, in many languages and in many countries in the world, then Drupal is good. But if you have a simple website, like a portfolio or five page-website, you can use many other technologies that'd be simple to maintain and implement. On a scale from one to 10, I will rate Drupal an eight. In the next release, I would like to see basic page buttons and better integration with the analytics platform. A drag and drop function to create simple pages will also be handy. For example, if a customer wants to create a landing page, it should be easy for him or her to do so. I would also like to see better translation management.

Group events allow everyone to see live updates
The ability to have a box storage feature supporting each community page is the most valuable feature, i.e., similar to what we already know. The allowance to get others to contribute to documents and make comments as all are being tracked is another important feature Group events are being…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable are the security features and a wide array of available modules, or extensions, that can be used to add functionality to a Drupal website."
"Its ability to style the article module is the most valuable feature, as it gives the developer the flexibility to show the articles the way he or she wants."
"It is a very powerful tool for the developer's hands and also, it's very easy for the content editors to use."
"Views, terms, panels, and entity conception. It is a very useful and fast solution to build successful web applications."
"Drupal’s extensible nature allows me to easily integrate with third-party hosted systems and pull or push data to those systems."
"I encourage others to use this product; it is a very powerful CMS tool with a lot of themes and modules and is great for enterprise use."
"With over 23,000 contributed modules, there’s a high chance that any feature you want has already been built, and is available for you to use at no cost."
"The best things about Drupal are its extensibility and plug-ability."
"The ability to have a box storage feature supporting each community page is the most valuable feature, i.e., similar to what we already know."
"MangoApps is my go-to recommendation for sole proprietorships, startups, SMBs, or even established companies who need a one-stop-shop for communication, filesharing, knowledge base management, and project management."
 

Cons

"Drupal 8 can be somewhat complex to set up because of the supporting technologies that should be installed, such as Composer, Drush, and Drupal Console."
"We had some stability issues."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"Sometimes, you just have to read the code to understand how it works or how to use an API, which is not the best way to learn for everyone."
"My advice would be not to use Drupal, because Drupal is too complex and the cost to maintain the platform can be too high, related to the value of your website, for example."
"It needs a better UI for the back-end user."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"Since Drupal is not developed for any specific use cases, it has some learning curve and requires effort to learn."
"The ability to work on the documents themselves, without having to download and re-upload is needed."
"It doesn't have the most professional sounding name... but then again, I don't know that the name of a solution should be a factor in your decision making."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."

At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
