Drupal is a fantastic CMS
I like it a lot but because of their update cycle it should only be used on projects that have a lifespan of 5 years or less.
Pros
Views is the best thing about Drupal. Pre-Views, Drupal is a decent CMS, perhaps a bit more logical than WordPress, but with a lot less users it's hard to justify it. However with Views, you can make advanced applications with a pretty easy to learn interface. It's really, really close to a visual programming language, although there are still some things you'll need to break out the code for. I also really appreciate that most of the modules don't make too many assumptions. With WordPress, I constantly have to fight against styling and strangely formatted HTML inserted by plugins, and that's less common with Drupal modules.
Cons
It requires a fairly beefy hosting setup and a good caching setup to perform well. I also strongly, STRONGLY dislike that sites created five years ago now HAVE to be rebuilt, or they are not secure. That may be fine for enterprise, but it sucks for someone who makes lots of small sites for small businesses. Platforms should be supported for at least ten years IMO, the web has been stable for a while now and there's no good reason to force complete rebuilds. WordPress does this better and manages to continually keep sites upgradeable without a rebuild.
Reasons for Choosing Drupal
Drupal is a good choice over WordPress for projects that require a searchable database, where Views is at its best. WordPress is a better choice for SEO-focused projects because of Rank Math and other great SEO tools that exist only in the WordPress ecosystem. I don't even understand how Joomla is still a thing. Almost all of its plugins appear outdated. I haven't used it in over a decade, but there's a reason for that.

Always Flexible
I have solved various business use cases with Drupal. I've been able to build standard marketing web sites, real estate sites, work order system, online calendar scheduling, and a multitude of other types of sites. This is all possible via the modules available and the software being open source.
Pros
The most impactful feature of Drupal is that the software is open source. This means it is full extendable and allows new features to be created to enhance the product by end users. The flexibility this provides to continue growing a web site makes it priceless. The community around the project is amazing and has provided excellent modules to get a site up and running easily.
Cons
The product does not lack features. There is a learning curve to get started, but every new product has a learning curve. The hook system allows integrating to the site, but does have a learning curve to understand the various hooks that are available.
Reasons for Choosing Drupal
Drupal provided more features than those that were available with Joomla or WordPress. The user permission system and editing system was much more robust.

Drupal Was a Decent Option Years Ago but I Would Not Consider it Today
Drupal has been an affordable content management system for us over the years but I wouldn't consider them now based on there being more user friendly options out there.
Pros
The Drupal content management system is free and the WYSIWYG ( What You See Is What You Get) editor is helpful for those of us who run a website without much HTML knowledge.
Cons
The product is difficult to use with limited coding knowledge. Additionally, there are few plug-ins and the add-ons that do exist are not super reliable as they are essentially created by volunteers.
Reasons for Choosing Drupal
At the time, it sounded like Drupal would be the easiest to integrate with an online store
Reasons for Switching to Drupal
As a recent adopter of the HubSport CRM, we think HubSpot CMS is worth taking a chance of due to the promise of integration. The CMS package also seems affordable.

Drupal is difficult but worth it
It was very difficult to get started with the product but I find the flexibility more than rewarding as I perceive an unlimited ceiling in developing with the product.
Pros
Drupal's ability to fit every potential need is what originally drew me to the platform and keeps me developing in it's rich environment.
Cons
It's very challenging to get started in Drupal. Naming conventions concerning views, nodes, taxonomy, menu items, panels, modules and tokens can be confusing and particularly overwhelming to a beginner.
Reasons for Choosing Drupal
Drupal appeared to have the most professional large-company client base.
Reasons for Switching to Drupal
Wordpress's core product was too simple and full of frustrating "gotchas". It seemed that to get anything setup except a basic site would require the purchasing of multiple plugins.

Great for multiple teams in different Regions
Overall, it gives me the peace of mind that I don't need to learn coding to update my website.
Pros
Once it's set-up, which I'm sure would be a complicated task, it gets very easy to modify things on the website. Even people who don't know website building, can easily update their websites.
Cons
Once the webiste is built, there is not much room to move around, be creative. The design layout is fixed and no place where you can modify them, as a user ofcourse.
Reasons for Choosing Drupal
More secure, easier for multiple team members to work on it and update it.
Reasons for Switching to Drupal
You need to know some amount of coding for this which wasn't helping me and my team.
