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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Drupal 8 has an architecture that will scale well and better than previous versions, especially given big pipe."
"The velocity of its extensibility and prototyping is a valuable feature."
"It is good for big projects."
"Drupal’s extensible nature allows me to easily integrate with third-party hosted systems and pull or push data to those systems."
"Drupal is the most powerful and flexible CMS."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"Drupal is the opposite, since it is not closed software and it does not rely on only one company."
"The open source nature of Drupal, being free to extend or alter it is massively important for us."
"Customer Service: Good. Technical Support: Good."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, with Drupal, there is a number of learning paradigms that you have to discover, which can make it difficult to understand as a newcomer."
"Admin Interface: You'll often hear that Drupal has a pretty high learning curve."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"The main complaints of the clients or newcomers to Drupal are about the UX of the admin interface."
"Migration from one major version to the next major version requires significant effort."
"Drupal 8 is only 1.5 years old. It has stability issues, but not major ones."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
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…
