We have some other frameworks that we use and some other software. It is a matter of choosing the correct software for the job and Drupal's flexibility and scalability mean that it is a useful, multi-purpose software for web applications.

WordPress and Joomla! are the current market equivalent competitors. Historically, WordPress is very pretty on the outside, but very ugly/rigid to make large scale customization.

Joomla! is decent. However, it doesn't have the same community/module size.

At the time I started using Drupal, I looked into Joomla, eZ Publish and WordPress.

Due to the community and orientation of Drupal (thanks to Dries Buytaert who is the creator of Drupal), it was a more reasonable choice to make.

We did not evaluate other options.

We tried a few alternatives, such as Umbraco, TYPO3, and WordPress.

• MODX (PHP-based)
• Rails (based on Ruby)

Every time prior to commencing a new project, we always evaluated the viability of the development of the project with Drupal. In one case, Drupal did not meet the requirements for the front-end of the site, but it met the backend requirements.

In that case, we developed two products, one front end developed in Angular JS and one Drupal as backend with custom web services to feed the Angular App.

I was not involved in the choice.

We've always looked at many alternatives and Drupal always rises above for a large scale contributor base, general security, and lack of vulnerabilities.

I started with Drupal in 2009. I was working with Vignette and investigated other open source solutions, such as WordPress, Joomla!, and TYPO3.

We did look at other options, but there's no better solution than this module.

We looked at Joomla!

It was more like Drupal chose me, I was working for J&J and this was its framework.

I evaluated WordPress and I used it for several projects. I evaluated Joomla! and Magento.

We did not evaluate any alternatives.

We looked at other solutions namely WordPress, Joomla!, CakePHP, and Symfony.

We didn’t look at any alternatives.

Joomla, Wordpress

There are a lot of solutions 'in the sea'. At the time, we choose Drupal because of its flexibility.

I have evaluated other commonly used CMS solutions such as WordPress and Magento, but Drupal has many more features and it is more scalable.
