Compare Drupal 8 vs. Jarves

Drupal 8 is a partial modernisation of the legacy Drupal CMS with a few parts of Symfony under the hood. Usability improvements were not the focus and to the end user Drupal 8 is very much like Drupal 7.

Jarves is an enterprise grade Content Management System (CMS) built on the Symfony Framework and other standard PHP components. It features a full RESTful API and a contemporary user interface.

• Based on stable legacy with critical APIs in place
• A large number of ready made modules (for Drupal 7)
• Large mass of developers brings stability for purchasers

• A standard Symfony Framework Bundle
• High performance
• New codebase, no legacy concepts

• A custom architecture based on Symfony Components, proprietary module structure
• Usability of admin interface not very good and remains tightly coupled to Drupal
• Suspect to security issues due to custom implementation and popularity (see Drupalgeddon)

• Limited size of development team
• Future prospects uncertain
• Currently a developer focused product
