Joomla or Drupal?

Which would you prefer using: Joomla or Drupal?

Points to consider in making your choice:

• Functionality
• System requirements
• User-friendliness
• Availability of tech support

Opinions will be much appreciated! Thank you!

 

Joomla by far! I use it for a number of sites I own.... great management system and tools, excellent addons make it extremely customisable and is good for SEO too.

Most webhosts would be able to manage it, well paid for ones that is.

who needs tech support when you have the internet?

 

There is no other software in the world to compete with Drupal.Drupal CMS is 1st and Joomla/mambo is second.We are open source experts and can help with any related open source products

 

Drupal is fast and reliable,but less of quality templates.

 

I prefer joomla over other cms platforms. Its easy to learn, flexible and has great templates.

 

Drupal.

I tried Drupal for the first time a couple of months ago and built a website out of it

I couldn't believe the level of functionality that it has to offer.

Joomla is whack in comparison.

For starters, it's just so big... it now has over 3,000 separate files for the core download, while Drupal has a fraction of that.

I suppose Drupal being the older project that it should be more advanced, but Joomla took nearly two years to reach 1.5 with the main change in this being extended character sets for right to left languages and enhanced internationalization and worldwide use.

For the English user there is hardly any new editions to its basic core, other than better SEO for titles.

When I looked at Joomla a couple of months ago, not long after they released 1.5, most modules were not ready for 1.5, also, I was surprised by how few new decent modules there were - I guess the uncertainty around the project has put developers off from contributing third party add-ons.

I think that novices may find Joomla better, but then move on to Drupal because it has far more to offer for serious webmasters, designers and coders.

 

I like Joomla for the templates, but I think Drupal is far superior in terms of performance.

 

Drupal has superior performance and developers. It's a great framework but it has disorganized documentation and poor themes.

 

Drupal is incredibly versatile and the support forums are fantastic.

 

i would vote for joomla or mambo...

 

i agree with the above. Joomla or mambo are good for heavy customization, some good templates too.

 

DRUPAL - With the only downside of not having good templates.

 

Drupal, not much reason but I just prefer using Drupal
You won't regret it if you choose Drupal

Joomla counts
"# Functionality
# System requirements
# User-friendliness"

Plus the themes. So many people working on joomla and making mods and themes and addons. So Joomla is a better choice

 

I would have thought Joomla was more popular considering how many DPers swear by it.

 

i like joomla because of availabilty good number of templates
