Compare Craft CMS vs. Reservoir

Craft CMS is a new player in the PHP CMS field. It does not use Symfony components, but is a popular and more modern option for WordPress.

Reservoir is a Drupal 8 distribution focused on decoupled content management. It is developed by Acquia, the company providing enterprise grade Drupal hosting and solutions.

• Superb usability
• Focus on content management
• Clean code base

• Open Source CaaS option
• Corporate backing from Acquia
• Flexibility and extensibility

• Limited adoption
• Not a part of a larger ecosystem (like Symfony)
• Coding style is a bit old school PHP

• A young, unproven product
• Complexity of hosting (compared to pure CaaS)
• Unable to leverage full Drupal ecosystem
