Compare Reservoir vs. TYPO3

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.

Typo3 is an established enterprise grade CMS built on PHP. In the past years they have struggled in their renewal project, but have since moved forward with Symfony components.

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

• A long heritage with solid basic concepts
• Large number of developers around the world
• Powerful admin UI for experienced users

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

• TYPO3 is in a technical transition phase
• Admin interface can be intimidating to newbies
• Decoupling (REST API), etc. strategy unclear
