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.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Use Drupal if expandability is a must or if you are building a large website with various kinds of functionality."
"Drupal is an open source content management system which provides an easy installation process, a good range of modules for features' expansion, as well as a supportive community that will help resolve issues that you face with Drupal."
"Being a community based product, the relationship with the product itself is providing back to the community."
"Significantly less time spent on production issues and maintaining existing functionality, translating into significantly more time adding new and enhanced functionality."
"The site was built on Drupal in three hours."
"The ability to create a complex website with a few developments is the most valuable feature, that's what got me started."
"The best things about Drupal are its extensibility and plug-ability."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia, and the personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"Overall, this is a very good solution and other than the support for the Arabic translation, I cannot think of additional features that I would like at the moment."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet (based on WebCenter)."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
 

Cons

"The version upgrading process is very painful. Moving to a new Drupal version involves much more than building and configuring the new site."
"Drupal community and forums are not as easy and straightforward as Wordpress, the number of areas covered by existing plugins should be larger, and it is resource hungry compared to Wordpress."
"The main complaints of the clients or newcomers to Drupal are about the UX of the admin interface."
"Creating complex content types (involving translations), is still a very slow and painful process."
"It needs better and more themes available for download, like you have in WordPress."
"The technical support is below average as compared to all the other products."
"Modifying the themes (colors, dimensions, and pictures) could be easier."
"Overall business friendliness of the product: Digital experience features like target segmentation and campaign management have a long way to go."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
"If you compare it and other products side by side, you would not buy Oracle."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"Some parts of the product seemed to be unstable; various exceptions which lead to reaching out for Oracle support."
"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."
"I would like to see better performance."
"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."
"Rules for contents personalization, workflows, publishing content, and the satellite cache all have room for improvement!"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
"The price needs to be lowered."

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…
