A decent number of people/website were built using Drupal so there are people who you can hire to build a website using it. > > **Cons**: It is very outdated. Runs on PHP which no one who is up to date with the modern world still uses. Javascript is the way to go. > > Created a small free website to demo look\&feel to people. Not worth the work though. ----- ### "Always Flexible" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 January 2021* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most impactful feature of Drupal is that the software is open source. This means it is full extendable and allows new features to be created to enhance the product by end users. The flexibility this provides to continue growing a web site makes it priceless. The community around the project is amazing and has provided excellent modules to get a site up and running easily. > > **Cons**: The product does not lack features. There is a learning curve to get started, but every new product has a learning curve. The hook system allows integrating to the site, but does have a learning curve to understand the various hooks that are available. > > I have solved various business use cases with Drupal. I've been able to build standard marketing web sites, real estate sites, work order system, online calendar scheduling, and a multitude of other types of sites. This is all possible via the modules available and the software being open source. ----- ### "Having A Strong Dev Team Is a Must" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 July 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: - The customization is endless and your website will stand out from Wordpress, Wix, etc. websites provided you have a strong dev team > > **Cons**: - Over-reliance on our dev team to create custom fields and features that Wordpress would have a plugin for.. ----- ### "Drupal is difficult but worth it" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 November 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Drupal's ability to fit every potential need is what originally drew me to the platform and keeps me developing in it's rich environment. > > **Cons**: It's very challenging to get started in Drupal. Naming conventions concerning views, nodes, taxonomy, menu items, panels, modules and tokens can be confusing and particularly overwhelming to a beginner. > > It was very difficult to get started with the product but I find the flexibility more than rewarding as I perceive an unlimited ceiling in developing with the product. ----- ### "Very well engineered CMS" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 September 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've been using Drupal for our websites for many years and have found it to be a very well engineered Content Management System (CMS). We have a comprehensive back catalog of sermons and songs and Drupal has the best data storage and organisation system of the open source CMS systems. It has been a pleasure to work with Drupal and how it has been designed from the ground up to handle all manner of complicated scenarios seamlessly. > > **Cons**: With the transition to Drupal 8 and beyond, a lot of contributed modules that we were using on Drupal 7 became unusable and there seems to be no plan to update these modules from the contributors. We've had to look into paying extra for custom module programming to update to Drupal 8. > > Drupal has been an excellent CMS and has helped us greatly in implementing and maintaining a data driven website. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/34810/drupal?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/34810/drupal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
