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

"Views, terms, panels, and entity conception. It is a very useful and fast solution to build successful web applications."
"Drupal is the opposite, since it is not closed software and it does not rely on only one company."
"Use Drupal if expandability is a must or if you are building a large website with various kinds of functionality."
"It has a huge community and support from all over the web."
"But it is worth it if you require an enterprise level web platform with great scalability, support, and security."
"The ability to create a complex website with a few developments is the most valuable feature, that's what got me started."
"Being a community based product, the relationship with the product itself is providing back to the community."
"Its scalability, content management practices, security and the community are valuable features."
"Customer Service: Good. Technical Support: Good."
 

Cons

"There were some stability issues, i.e., only with the new version, the main changes are not stable."
"There are not enough Drupal developers to satisfy demand."
"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."
"We had some stability issues."
"The documentation on how to do things as a complete novice is only subpar in both Drupal 7 and 8."
"Drupal 8 is only 1.5 years old. It has stability issues, but not major ones."
"The GUI is still not as intuitive as WordPress."
"The main complaints of the clients or newcomers to Drupal are about the UX of the admin interface."
"As much as it's flexible to use, it is equally hard to use."

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…
