Hello Alex,
Great question and though difficult to answer J
I prefer starting what the website wants to be like. Is the website going to be for organization, data visualizations, event, content store, managing business processes? Once you have figured out no. 1 goal of this website, selecting a CMS would be easier.
I would rate all 3 PHP CMS – Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress quite good, with all three now matching feature by features. In terms of implementation and output, I would put both
Drupal and Joomla in same category in terms of features, complexity and time taken to customize and implement them. WordPress takes lot lesser time to customize and publish website. Every CMS has some cons and they are applicable only to specific use cases. One common complaint for Drupal and Joomla is that they are slow if not properly configured.
Kind regards,
Atanu

Subject: {GWG: 2870} Drupal?
Hi all,
Does any of you use Drupal to run their website(s)?
If you had to describe one or two things you like about it, and one or two negative points, what would they be?
Someone mentioned Drupal and the fact that some UN entities are using it to run their website to our management, so I'm trying to find a few pros and cons for this solution.
I'm trying to push for an approach where we define our needs BEFORE we pick the CMS, but I need convincing arguments for management (other than "it doesn't make sense" :-)
Any feedback is welcome!
Thanks
a

For the practical part (pros vs cons), you may contact Fausto F. from UNOG.
Hope that this helps.

Agree with moth Atanu says. except that I would add Joomla as part of the 4 PHP CMS of which I prefer Drupal if I have to choose one of those 4. But we actually do not have enough information from Alex, to make a serious judgement, is it a simple site, does it need a lot of backend logic, is it used to store a lot of data, only if we know that we can judge the right one, and another question to Alex, what are the alternatives you consider? I do not want a fight about CMS if you have strong thoughts about one of the CMS's.
Generally I am moving away from one systems fits all, I rather
set up a Mattermost for internal discussions, a static/dynamic
website using jekyll for secure publishing and away from php/mysql
driven websites that are becoming increasingly insecure.
Kind regards,
Hapee
