I'm basically a software developer. 
Before I discovered .Net, Java was my passion. But by force of circumstance, I found myself in Web development. Something I snubbed in my early days as a (spirited) student. Don't hold it against me: blue ignorance and unconsciousness :) Now I like being a Web craftsman and I'm convinced of its power.

In this article, I share my experience and draw on feedback from my peers.

Necessarily, at the start of a project, the choice of the ideal technology is essential. In fact, it's a relief to have the choice.

In general, whatever the solution adopted, the same objectives and results can be achieved. Now, depending on the technology you choose, you may or may not find it easier, quicker or cheaper. But it has to be said that all these factors depend on the requirements of the project. There's also another point to consider: the customer's preference.

WordPress, like Drupal, has been around for over twenty (20) years. Initially conceived as a blogging system, over the years it has naturally evolved and become more powerful, while allowing easy handling for developers and highly intuitive administration for users. It's no coincidence that it's the most widely used CMS on the web, despite the fact that Drupal has overtaken it on the market. 
It also has a larger community. There's no need to give statistics - you'll quickly be convinced of this fact when looking for a solution to a bug encountered while developing, compared to Drupal.
It also benefits from a plethora of plugins (both premium and free) to add functionality to the tool. It's true that we're not reinventing the wheel. But a developer enjoys developing. What's more, for security and performance reasons, it's not advisable to cram your site full of extensions. It's a reliable system that's regularly updated.
All the same, WordPress remains a very practical and satisfactory CMS for most projects. Personally, I've never had any limitations on any project. At least for the time being.

Although it can sometimes seem complex, Drupal quickly won my attention before convincing me of its power. It has almost everything covered in terms of needs, and continues to evolve. It's more than a content management system. It simplifies the creation and management of content for any type of digital platform. I'm often pleasantly surprised by great discoveries about this tool. It's so broad and deep. That's probably why it seems so complex. It's really made for developers. On the other hand, it's not inaccessible to webmasters for administration. And in this respect, Drupal offers a very useful feature for improved collaboration. A feature that also includes impressive resource access management (pages, articles, files, blocks). 
With its structured content creation (or definition) mode, its content management (or manipulation) (through views, for example), its definition of roles and their assignment to users, it is undeniably charming for developers. 

Based on these strengths alone, it's fair to say that Drupal is a complete package.
But let's go a step further. This solution offers an extensive backoffice. From advanced content management to bug and log reporting, you're well served. And it's all configurable. 
For example, you can define the type of log to be recorded, the maximum number of lines in the database before automatic deletion (or not, depending on your configuration), and much more.

NB: You can also import or export dashboard configurations.

I've been told that navigating in...virtual waters requires solid security barriers. From my own experience, I think you're much safer with a site running on Drupal. It goes without saying, however, that good dev practices must be observed. 
WordPress undergoes a lot of attacks. That doesn't mean it's vulnerable. No! The reason is that it's right out in front. We wouldn't be talking about it if it didn't suffer these attacks.

Let's not forget that, whatever CMS you choose, the most important thing is to implement a high-performance product that meets business expectations. Of course, the means are also important, to reduce costs and save time.
