Drupal vs. SharePoint: The Better CMS for Government Websites

Staff Reporter

Veniz Guzman’s analysis, published by Promet Source, compares Drupal and SharePoint for state and local government websites, concluding that Drupal outperforms SharePoint in flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. The article highlights Drupal’s open-source nature, which fosters rapid innovation, customization, and transparency, making it particularly advantageous for government entities requiring adaptable security and compliance solutions without vendor lock-in or escalating costs.

While SharePoint offers robust security and integration within the Microsoft ecosystem, Drupal’s community-driven vigilance and modular design present a more tailored and budget-friendly option for agencies focused on enhancing citizen engagement and managing complex digital needs.
