Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is good for big projects.""We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution.""You can build websites on it very quickly.""The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."

More Drupal Pros →

"The speed in which you can take a CMS and make it a full-blown shopping cart with analytics tracking, SEO, user accounts, security, and ease of use through a robust framework of modules and plugins to enhance and promote-related content is about as turnkey as it gets with Joomla.""One of the most robust, stable, secure, feature-rich CMSs on the market."

More Joomla Pros →

"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to create web pages with ease."

More Sitecore Digital Marketing System Pros →

Cons
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful.""Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go.""I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems.""It is a little bit simplified."

More Drupal Cons →

"I would like to see the same sorting and attributes available through the web browser on the JED (sorting by free or commercial license, sort by rating, popularity, etc.) within the back-end Joomla Web Installer when browsing extensions.""I would like to see more back-end admin power pulled into the front-end, therefore the admins will not have to use the back-end as much, especially for the menu manager, user manager, etc. versus using third-party extensions to achieve this."

More Joomla Cons →

"In a few scenarios, Sitecore DMS works slowly."

More Sitecore Digital Marketing System Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice

    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 round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →

    Overview
    Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications
    Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications.
    The Sitecore Digital Marketing System (DMS) is a way for marketers to manage content, analytics, personalization, automation, email and testing within a single interface and leverage all of the data within one location. Sitecore DMS allows marketers to focus on what's most important - focusing on strategic investments and evaluating their success based on ROI - and bypass factors slowing them down - multiple platform maintenance and subscription fees.
