Reviews over Drupal

Overwogen alternatieven:
Drupal is a fantastic CMS
Opmerkingen: I like it a lot but because of their update cycle it should only be used on projects that have a lifespan of 5 years or less.
Pluspunten:
Views is the best thing about Drupal. Pre-Views, Drupal is a decent CMS, perhaps a bit more logical than WordPress, but with a lot less users it's hard to justify it. However with Views, you can make advanced applications with a pretty easy to learn interface. It's really, really close to a visual programming language, although there are still some things you'll need to break out the code for. I also really appreciate that most of the modules don't make too many assumptions. With WordPress, I constantly have to fight against styling and strangely formatted HTML inserted by plugins, and that's less common with Drupal modules.
Minpunten:
It requires a fairly beefy hosting setup and a good caching setup to perform well. I also strongly, STRONGLY dislike that sites created five years ago now HAVE to be rebuilt, or they are not secure. That may be fine for enterprise, but it sucks for someone who makes lots of small sites for small businesses. Platforms should be supported for at least ten years IMO, the web has been stable for a while now and there's no good reason to force complete rebuilds. WordPress does this better and manages to continually keep sites upgradeable without a rebuild.

Flexible and Secure CMS for Digital Content Management
Opmerkingen: My experience with Drupal has been positive. While there is a learning curve, the flexibility and security of the CMS make it a reliable choice for managing digital content. Additionally, the wide range of integrations and plugins available allow me to customize my website to meet my business needs.
Pluspunten:
Drupal is a flexible and customizable CMS that offers a range of features and functionalities for digital content management.It is widely used and has a large community of developers, making it easy to find support and resources.Drupal is known for its security, making it a reliable choice for businesses and organizations.
Minpunten:
Drupal can have a steep learning curve, especially for those who are new to web development or CMS.Customizing and managing a Drupal website can require more technical expertise than other CMS options.Some plugins and integrations can be limited compared to other CMS options.

Drupal Was a Decent Option Years Ago but I Would Not Consider it Today
Opmerkingen: Drupal has been an affordable content management system for us over the years but I wouldn't consider them now based on there being more user friendly options out there.
Pluspunten:
The Drupal content management system is free and the WYSIWYG ( What You See Is What You Get) editor is helpful for those of us who run a website without much HTML knowledge.
Minpunten:
The product is difficult to use with limited coding knowledge. Additionally, there are few plug-ins and the add-ons that do exist are not super reliable as they are essentially created by volunteers.

Overwogen alternatieven:
A serious and well supported alternative to Wordpress as a Content Management System
Opmerkingen: Drupal has been useful in my day by day work, when I needed to work with complex websites hosting a great amount of data. In this scenario, it is a valuable solution.
Pluspunten:
Drupal is an advanced Content Management System with almost 20 years of history. The content type management offers a better experience than Wordpress' custom fields, the user roles system is very advanced and multilingual is supported at the core, without the need to install external plugins.
Minpunten:
Drupal is not as widely used as Wordpress, hence you will not find the same variety of plugins or documentation. The steep learning curve to become efficient in developing complex solutions with Drupal can be hard. The thing I like less in Drupal is its user interface (admin panel) which is really messy and based on the (wrong, in my opinion) concept that a CMS should be able to visualize the content like the frontend does.

The Best CMS
Opmerkingen: Excellent. Very nostalgic to think about my journey with this software. I have built countless websites over the years using Drupal, and my experience has been varied.
Pluspunten:
Drupal is, in my opinion, the best open source CMS available. I have seen it grow since version 4.0 and heavily used it right up until version 7. Drupal 6 was the golden era. There are countless extensions, most of which are completely free and built by a passionate community. If you need a fast, reliable CMS for free, this is the first place you should start.
Minpunten:
Since the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] left, things haven't felt the same. It has sadly become more up-market and commercial. However the core software and extensions still remain, and it is still probably the best CMS on the market.
