Compare Drupal 8 vs. Pagekit

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.

Pagekit is a modern implementation of a CMS that uses the Vue.js JavaScript library for it's backend.

• 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 modern and fresh feel
• A built in extension market
• Enthusiastic community

• 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)

• A custom architecture using Symfony components
• UI layer dependent on a single front end technology
• Limited adoption
