    Digital Marketing Manager in Marketing at Paychex (Human Resources, 10,001+ employees)
    Chose Drupal
    We evaluated many CMS systems and Drupal came out on top because of its flexibility and that its open source. We didn't always know everything we would be asked to build and Drupal allowed us to be nimble enough to do what needed to get done. We also liked that it handled …

    Chose Drupal
    Drupal is the king of enterprise opensource content management systems. It is the most robust and comes from the most forward thinking community. Drupal 8 is designed for the next evolution in web design and development. WordPress and Joomla! are stuck in the web 2.0 revolution …

    Tech Director in Information Technology at Liberty Concepts (Internet, 11-50 employees)
    Chose Drupal
    Drupal is not as powerful, extensible, or easy to use as Sitecore, but it is free, whereas Sitecore can be quite expensive. It offers a similar service as Umbraco, but from a PHP codebase. For clients that need a free CMS system, it is the clear choice for those with a PHP …

    It came down to budget which is why we normally target Drupal for small to mid-sized engagements.

    Chose Sitecore Digital Experience Platform
    The decision to select Sitecore was not ultimately mine, but the fact that we were able to leverage in-house Microsoft .Net (C#) experience on a platform that had a library of extensions, but also allowed us to customize and keep private our confidential IP has been a big help. …

    Solution Architect II in Information Technology at Banner Health (Hospital & Health Care, 5001-10,000 employees)
    Chose Sitecore Digital Experience Platform
    Really the only comparable product to Sitecore DXP is Adobe Experience Manager. Both are very well established and robust content management platforms. Products like Contentful and Contentstack are very lightweight and do not have as many built-in features like DXP, so it is …

    Of all the competitors listed above, Sitecore owned, by far, the best combination of power, easy-of-use, and extensibility. It easily outperformed the other paid-for CMS systems. Its power is especially noticeable in its ability to handle very complex workflows, security …
