Plone vs. Drupal editing experience - a biased comparison
In this talk I will give my (highly biased) comparison between Plone and Drupal, these two enterprise CMS's, from the perspective of basic content editing.
University of Jyväskylä in Finland has been using Plone for over 20 years for websites, intranets, custom applications and more. In 2023 our main website was renewed using Drupal. Meanwhile we also have been developing several new Plone 6 sites with Volto frontend.
As a long time Plone user, It has been interesting to learn the new editing experience of Plone 6, and then also using Drupal for the first time. I can also add Plone 6 classic editing experience to the comparison.
In this talk I will demonstrate the new JYU website on Drupal and new websites on Plone and give my (highly biased) comparison between these two enterprise CMS's, from the perspective of basic content editing.
I aim to do a live editing demo.
As a long time Plone user, I found it refreshing to see what Drupal had to offer. Even though I am not very familiar with its editing experience, I know the basics. Its very solid and has tons of features.
And with Plone 6 Volto, after inital shock of how it differs from Plone classic, I find is superior to anything that came before.
By showing the Drupal editor and then Volto, everyone can make their own opinion on which one pleases them more.
