Drupal vs Joomla!

Use Mambo(Joomla) when:

• you don’t know about the tech stuff at all
• you want easy install & setup with your mouse
• you don’t want to learn the tool you’re using
• you don’t need to integrate other scripts etc. to your site
• you want a candy site and don’t mind several other sites using the same template(s)
• you don’t need SEO out of the box
• you don’t care about server resources
• you’re running (or planning to to run) only one or max a couple of sites
• you don’t need one log-in to several sites
• you don’t need user groups & permissions
• you don’t run membership site(s)

Use Drupal when:

• you want a rock solid & high quality platform for your sites
• you want or need a real multi-site-feature (only one installation for several sites)
• you need any kind of user groups & user permissions
• you need to run also membership- and community sites, not only CMS etc
• you want a Powerful templating system
• you’re ready to invest a bit of your time in order to realize all the huge possibilities of Drupal
• you understand the meaning of clear, high quality code and API (easy to integrate with other solutions etc)
• you want flexibility and don’t like limitations
