One of the biggest advantages of this software is its scalability. Drupal can handle a large number of users and a large volume of content, which is essential for our company as we have many different departments and teams that need to access and manage their own content. Additionally, Drupal's robust content modeling capabilities have made it easy for us to create and manage structured content types, such as documents and articles. Another great feature of Drupal is the wide range of modules and themes available. These have allowed us to add additional functionality to our content management system, such as document version control, advanced search and tagging, and improved user permissions. Additionally, the module repository is vast, and it has been very easy for us to find and install the modules we need to improve the functionality of our content management system. > > **Cons**: One of the downsides of Drupal is that it can be complex to set up and customize. Other than that, there is nothing to complain. > > Overall, Drupal has been a valuable tool for our company. Its scalability, robust content modeling capabilities, and wide range of modules and themes have made it easy for us to create and manage our content and documents. While the software requires some technical expertise to fully set it up and customize it, the benefits of Drupal far outweigh the cons for our business. ----- ### "Drupal - CMS for Enterprise" — 5.0/5 > **Bradley** | *02 June 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The security, open-source community, flexibility and capabilities are hands down the most important elements of this CMS for my/our use. The ability to extend and leverage modules to provide high business value capabilities are core to the software. > > **Cons**: The learning curve for development is hefty but worthwhile. The administrative learning curve can also be heavy depending on how your agency/team has set up the software. For any mid-tier business and above, this is the open-source CMS of choice. > > Drupal is the most flexible, secure, and enterprise-ready CMS. Its meant for mid-tier+ businesses where SEO, content management, integration, and digital capability are critical. We use Drupal extensively for Government, Post-Secondary Education, Pharmaceutical and Multi-brand enterprises extensively, it minimizes GTM time, satisfies compliance requirements and its modular nature makes it possible for businesses to quickly re-use functionality across their ecosystem (with the appropriate build strategies). If you need a brochureware website, it might not be the best solution (equivalent of taking out a mosquito with a bazooka). The SEO and security capabilities OOTB are second to none, and integration capabilities are extensive. This is why its the gold standard for university platforms (71 of top 100 universities), and used in many government projects where security is a priority. ----- ### "Drupal has many functions but user friendliness depends on the function" — 3.0/5 > **Robert** | *04 November 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Some features are easy to use and implement. Redirect links, landing pages and basic listings are easy to create. > > **Cons**: Integration is slow when updating items or creating products from Salesforce to Drupal. Sometimes I have to spend hours for it to migrate, sync and update. This has always been problematic and is a time killer. > > Overall, I would give Drupal a 6/10 rating because if it were not for the integration issues, that number would be higher. ----- ### "Drupal 8 is my go to for Website Development" — 5.0/5 > **Bryan** | *21 October 2019* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the things that I like the most about this software is its reliability and flexibility in being able to adapt to the various needs of businesses wishing to have an online presence. > > **Cons**: Throughout my use of this software, I can not truthfully think of anything that I don't like about this software as it has significantly improved over the past seven years. > > One of the most significant of business problems that I am solving by using this software for my consulting business is being able to provide a secure and stable website. The software itself informs me of when updates to the software or modules are available and those updates have always been painless and easy to implement. Similarly, creating websites for clients has also been easier with use of the Drupal 8 software as it reduces the need for repetitive tasks that tend to be associated with either creating websites file by file or the use of some of the other CMS software solutions that are available. I have also found that installing and setting up client websites using the Drupal 8 software is much easier than some of the other CMS software solutions that I have used in the past. ----- ### "Good Content Management Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Philip** | *12 August 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Durpal is a powerful and easy to use platform. It has a fairly easy to understand GUI that can be used by users of various levels of technical skills for content and website management > > **Cons**: Durpal has its limits and it’s important you don’t make make things more complex than needed. We found that when used for more simple sites it works well but if you have multiple layers of data it may be best to use a different platform. > > Overall we’ve had a good experience with Durpal. Once we have a site published our marketing teams who aren’t technical users can self serve and manage their content. This feels up our IT staff to focus on more complex issues and gives marketing full control of their content. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91147/drupal?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91147/drupal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
