Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our entire business is not centered around Drupal support; DOOR3 has made a considerable commitment to Drupal development but we use other platforms as specific to the needs of our clients' business needs.

Functionality that Drupal excels with:

Analytics
Localization / translation
Commerce
Publishing
Customized Workflows
Social network integration
Content feeds

Pros

Workflow: Drupal's permission system is very effective. That, in conjunction with Workbench moderation and organic groups can handle most workflow needs; from the most basic to the very complicated. There is also a distribution available that helps with this (Open Atrium).
Analytics: Drupal's robust, field-able taxonomy terms can readily implement any number of tags to help your business understand what your viewers are doing and how to help them do it better.

Cons

Developer workflow: Pushing configurations to environments, better diff tools.

Drupal Review

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Drupal is used to create Web sites for clients. We have a group of developers who specialize in Drupal. Drupal meets the need to get a site up and running quickly.

Pros

Drupal is easy to extend with additional functionality.
Drupal has add-on modules available for most tasks.
Drupal is easy to customize.

Cons

New versions of Drupal are not backwards compatible with older versions.
Uses AJAX rather than COMET, so response can be slow.
Some customization requires writing PHP functions.

Likelihood to Recommend

Drupal is well suited to any multiple user, data driven application. It could be overkill for single user applications or static sites.
