Compare Drupal 8 vs. Kunstmaan

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.

Kunstmaan Agency has created a number of Symfony2 Framework Bundles to enable developers to create web applications with CMS features. It's not a complete product in itself, but offers flexibility for skilled developers to create easy to use site experiences for content creators.

• 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

• Flexible, choose only what you need and adjust to your needs
• Uses standard Symfony Framework structure and development practises
• Can be integrated into existing Symfony2 applications

• 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 adoption outside of Kunstmaan
• A bit hard to purchase, because it's a collection of components rather than a complete product
• Future roadmap a questionmark
