An amazing platform to create a website even if you don't have HTML/CSS knowledge. WordPress hosting is a good feature available.
Compared with Joomla and Drupal, WordPress plugins and themes are costly.

It is easiest to use. Almost no code is needed. Many templates are available for ready to use website creation. Maintaining posts is also very easy. Wordpress marketplace has so many plugin available from content management to payment gateway integrations. Almost all are just one click install.
Its not that flexible to use like Drupal. Creating customized hooks is little difficult. Also its purely based on php and security perspective, its not that secure compared to Drupal

Wordpress allows you to get a site setup quickly. There is plenty of documentation on the web and on Wordpress' site to get you started. There is a lot of functionality that comes right out of the box with Wordpress that cuts down on development time significantly.
Wordpress doe not scale very well for large traffic sites as well as Drupal.

So far so good. Definitely built with content generators/editors in mind.
Made the move to a Wordpress site from Drupal a few months back and liking the decision. The content building tools are cleaner and easier to use. Definitely more flexible and user friendly compared to our years with Drupal.
Not sure. Still in the honeymoon phase with the new site.

Always been good and so much more logical than other CMS (i.e. Joomla & Drupal).
There is so much you can do with Wordpress - just need to ensure you get your web developer skills up to speed but so many add ons you can purchase if you don't have these skills.
It is getting better and blocks I think will make it easier for some end users. It can be quite daunting but most of my clients find it very user friendly once they give it the time and energy.

I am big fan of wordpress. I have 7 years of experience as a developer and No CMS can match Wordpress till yet
I have worked in many CMS including Joomla and Drupal. Wordpress simplicity and ease to do thing Kill all others.
I dont like critics who compare this with other complex CMS and say negative, just cause this is so simple and they dont know the right way to do so.

I love it. It's easy, development is fast, it's cost effective, and powerful. A joy to work with
This software is very easy to use, but also robust enough to accomplish bespoke and complex solutions. With the recent developments in WP's Api system and the Gutenberg Content blocks the future is bright. This is the first place I look when developing sites for clients.
Modeling content is difficult without plugins. I wish the fields API was more of a first class citizen like Drupal.

Ease use for less tech savy folks. Just about anyone can make a change to WordPress content.
User-friendly, I like that you can access the templates, php and css and other files in the CMS interface.
Having used a lot of other CMS, I found the support much less expansive and helpful as Drupal. I rarely ever run into a problem with Drupal that I can't find the answer to. Wordpress is a very story. I find the community & support system to be very different and a lot less helpful.

It's really much better than the available alternatives i.e. Drupal and Joomla. Plus we're also lil uncertain about the WP 5.2 version.
It's damn simple and easy create and launch your website. As we're business plan users so we also got free domain and SSL Cert. Secondly, as everything is cloud based so you need to waste money in hosting and creating backups.
With every update from Plugin or Theme there's a new conflict which is really disheartning for us. As there's no option with us except disabling all the plugins to check the issue or change the theme. Secondly, there's very limited scope of help being provided by the WP Support team.

All my companies websites are in the process of migrating to WordPress from Drupal as it allows us to do way more!
- Jam-packed with features and plug-ins that can let you do almost anything with your website - Once set-up, very simple and easy to use - It's very cheap and everyone can use it - The WooCommerce plug-in is an absolute rockstar
- You require expertise in the beginning to set-up the website - Some coding required - The dashboard can be a little more user-friendly

Overall. WordPress is my choice for sites i am working with on a development or editing basis. I have also dabbled with drupal but not as much
I enjoy working with Wordpress. When i needed to spin up a web site quickly, i found that i was able to scan through many free Wordpress templates and modify one quickly. The are also many plug ins for word press to do just about anything.
Word Press is not as drag and drop as other web site editors. I think part of that is that it is built for the true design professional not the buisiness owner who is trying to quickly spin up a web site

We've built dozens of websites for clients on WordPress, Drupal, Wix, html and Squarespace... WordPress is hands down our favorite and what we recommend first to anyone.
The level of customization coupled with ease of use for non-developers puts WordPress above other template based platforms or more development friendly platforms. Easy to use for all levels of editors.
Occasionally a plugin will become outdated or break a site... pretty easy to revert back to before the break and fix but that's my only con.

I have used Joomla CMS for new portal, Pligg, Drupal but eventually WordPress was the one which had great community support and hence remained my first choice.
Support and Huge user-base is the most awesome thing about WordPress. Started using it as blogging platform some 11 years ago but now I use it extensively as a platform for web magazine, Shopping cart (thanks for WooCommerce) and Product website. I am no developer but still able to deploy and use it without any hassle. Even slight modifications can be implemented with ease thanks to responsive community support.
I cannot even think of any. WordPress has come a long way becoming the most powerful CMS I've ever known.

Free and less stressful compared to the previous CMS
It is easy to use compared to the previous CMS - Drupal. There should be more functionalities that I have not tested out because the development is done by our website agency.
We use Ninja Form for the web form but the countries are spelled out too long. For example, Britain is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. While it must be an official name, they should list it in a common way.

Have built well over 500 websites using WordPress - working on 5 more right now, will use it into the future.
I have used WordPress for almost 15 years, gave Drupal and Joomla a chance in the beginning and Webflow an opportunity just recently. Will continue using WP well into the future.
No cons whatsoever, if there is something you don't like - write the code and update it yourself or pay someone else to do it.

Easy to set up, easy to learn, easy to use. Wordpress can probably handle 90% of all websites currently out there.
If you feel like wordpress is a blogging platform, think again. It's a robust platform that can accommodate just about any small website.
If you're dealing with thousands of sku's or some complexities like connecting to a database, you'll likely need a custom solution on the drupal platform or something similar.

High # of leads
Wordpress is super easy to use and the vast number of plugins available is amazing. SEO friendly and compatible with Yoast SEO. I wp ups never go back to the good old drupal.
Wordpress has continuous updates that must be kept up with. You have to manually do it and then go through a manual update of your theme and plugins so that it doesn't brake anything on the site.

Wordpress has enabled my company to utilize our content better than Drupal ever let us. We have seen an increase in organic traffic and have been able to increase the number of conversions generated by mobile traffic.
As a digital marketer and web developing professional, I have found that Wordpress is the easiest yet flexible CMS I've used. I'm able to create a website, with either a custom or templatized looked, within a few hours. It is the ideal CMS to use when you're building a site for non-developer individuals as it can be built to have a block-like look on the backend and publishing a blog can take literally 5 minutes. The number of plugins available has grown tremendously over the past 5 years, enabling site owners to connect various 3rd party tools and change the look of their site without need to adapt the code.
While plugins offer a 'simple' way of changing the look of your site, you are much more limited in the design aspect than if you were to use a different CMS, like Drupal or Sitecore. If you're not contracting a web developer to build a custom template for you, you're also limited to the templates they offer ( or buying a template) and creating a website similar to other. While they are beefed up security within the last 2 years, it still have a while to go to meet the standards of other CMS platforms.

In a world of competition blooming between Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress it can farely be said that Wordpress stands out. Ease of use, the number of simplifications, the ways to change and edit stuff makes things simpler.
Wordpress has a disadvantage of not having the option to buy themes as a demo. Or apart from themes we could get them at lower prices

Wordpress is an easy to use CMS with a wide array of themes and plugins. Updates are easy and simple and a new user can be trained on basic task relatively easily.
Wordpress is easy to install and use. The dashboard makes navigating features easy. The plugin installer allows easy search and installation of new plugins to expand site features and functionality.
The biggest con is unlike Drupal where plugins are free many more advanced plugins cost money. However, because of this plugins work with updates easier and have more features and secure fixes.

WordPress is so easy to use, that most of our clients have no difficulty managing and adding content on their own. Excellent modularity with only one type of extensions. Much better than the jungle of Joomla or Drupal.
Some plugins like WooCommerce are not as fast as the core and can slowdown the overall page performance. No convenient way to manage the many notifications the plugins generate.

In school we first learned to code a website from the ground up. Then we started learning Drupal and it blew my mind. Suddenly I learned of all the possibilities a CMS offers. But in the end I had to decide between Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress. I had to go with WordPress.
It was the first CMS I ever used and I had a really good experience. It's open source.
Didn't offer as many possibilities as WordPress.

Drupal is a good alternative to WordPress if you don't want to be one of the typical WordPress users. They offer quite a bit of variety and more custom code than WordPress as well.
Drupal is NOT user-friendly. Finding pages and stuffing content takes so much longer than necessary. There are also odd requirements on different modules that really don't seem necessary and only make is a longer process than it should be. Simple things like saving a page or going back to your previous page are borderline impossible. Overall, I would always choose WordPress if you are building it for a less than genius user.

As with WordPress, you can't beat the price - FREE. And, also as with WordPress, there's a devoted community of Drupal developers who work hard to keep it relevant.
Like WordPress, Drupal requires some coding skills. Unlike WordPress, if you lack said skills, you'll be quickly frustrated. Compared to WordPress, where there's massive 3rd party support with plugins and premium themes that make coding knowledge virtually unnecessary, Drupal is brutal to learn and difficult to use.

I have been using Drupal for websites I have been working with for years, since version 4. Drupal is a very flexible and powerful CMS, with tons of module for everything (from credit card management to spam detection), also with a big marketplace of themes to quick launch nice websites. The community of developers is huge, so it is easy to have a Drupal expert nearby to help you with a new website or the development of a module if that is not already existing on the marketplace.
Very flexible Tons of themes and modules Available on managed cloud sites
More difficult to configure than Wordpress (but also way more powerful)

I've been using it for several years and I like the platform. It just takes some time to learn it and you will want a smart developer available to help with deeper edits. This is probably the same for Wordpress though. Drupal seems to be a more serious platform if you have deeper business dev needs.
It's powerful and can do whatever you want. It just requires you to have a good developer. Fortunately, there are many out there.
It's not as simple as Wordpress. I am not sure if they plan to keep improving the backend editor, but I think Wordpress and the Visual Editors are a bit easier for web dev newbies.

I made my first website in pure HTML in 1998. I heard about CMS in the early 2000"s and in 2004 about Drupal. It's more powerful than other CMS, beacuse not so fancy but powerful, secure and stable.
Drupal is a powerful, secure CMS for fast and secure websites. It is simple and easy to use - if you have a basic knowledge about HTML, SQL, etc.
Drupal is not as popular than WordPress, so there are less themes and features.

Drupal is very different. It tries and tries to be better than WP but nevertheless it is still the tool for the specific people who are fed up with WordPress and want to try anything but doing "another wordpress website"
I like the functionality Drupal offers and the different approach to things. It is a nice try and the features such as security and performance that come with drupal as well as the tool for multisites are amazing and they work very nicely.
Drupal is nowhere near being a beautiful tool. It is pretty hard to learn and not easy to customize. Partially because the shortage of new integrations and new developers joining the community. It's hard to fight wp, but I really like that drupal tries and I believe it will always will but will never get there due to its audience limitations.

Once I got to know this CMS and how it works, I loved it! I'm not web developer and Drupal has given the power to create more dynamic and robust websites. I have only once ran into a problem that couldn't find the answer in Drupal extensive support forum! It's amazing how everyone helps each other out with CMS. I have not seen any other CMS that has such a robust community of developers and support in the forums.
It works very differently from other CMSes and is more difficult to get familiarized with than Wordpress. If you need a very simple website, I would recommend WordPress. But if you need a more feature rich website, Drupal is well worth the time investment to learn it.
