Pros

“There were no issues with ongoing use, just may have slowed us down from implementing custom/unique functionality without having a dedicated web developer on staff”

“Drupal offers powerful content management capabilities with excellent flexibility, but comes with a steep learning curve.”

Marko S.

Administrator

Pros

“OctoberCMS is light enough that it appeals to my sense of speed and aversion to heavyweight waste, and seems to transcend many of the trendy come-and-go fads in technology. ”
GH

Greg H.

President and CEO

“In cases when a client doesn't have the budget to build some deeply customised backend, but needs a simple and understandable, extensible interface for the admin or frontend - OctoberCMS has practically no competitors in this segment.”
IC

Ihor C.

CTO

“The e-commerce part is a bit complicated and maybe some sort of a package would help a lot here.”
SA

Simeon A.

UX Designer

Cons

“It can take some time to get used to the sheer amount of options and settings within Drupal, which can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate.”

“The frequency of security and new release notifications makes them a headache.”
MS

Madhusudan S.

Software Engineer

“Bugs were everywhere when we tried to do something as simple as backup/migrate.”

Cons

“At the time, it was quite a young CMS and lacked a few features others support, for example versioning”
