Whether you're facing end-of-life with your current Drupal version, or you're tired of simple Drupal updates turning into dev sprints, it s clear your CMS simply isn't built for what s next.

Sitecore XM Cloud vs. Drupal / Acquia

Sitecore XM Clouds cloud-native, composable architecture enables your ability to scale your digital experience alongside your business growth, whether that s supporting more brands, handling increased traffic, or enabling new AI-driven digital experiences. 

  • A true SaaS solution

    With Sitecore XM Cloud, upgrades and patches happen automatically. Drupal & Acquia still requires manual updates and version upgrades that consume developer resources.  

  • Enterprise performance

    Sitecore XM Cloud delivers instant scalability across the enterprise. While Drupal can scale, it s not without careful tuning and heavy infrastructure management. 

  • Built for marketers

    Sitecore XM Cloud is built with marketers in mind. Drupal / Acquia often requires add-ons and developer intervention to achieve the same level of marketer empowerment.  

  • Built in personalization

    Sitecore XM Cloud has native AI-powered personalization, while Acquia relies on third-party integrations or custom development which come at additional complexity & cost. 

  • Partner ecosystem

    Sitecore brings a global partner network, MVP community, and Gartner-recognized enterprise support model that Drupal simply cannot deliver. 

  • Efficiency & scale

    Sitecore XM Cloud gives marketers and developers what they need at its core. With Drupal, you can customize endlessly, but it often leads to extra complexity and slower launches. 
Drupal s open-source flexibility has appeal, but it brings hidden complexity and ongoing maintenance costs. Sitecore XM Cloud delivers a true SaaS experience - always current, built for marketers & developers alike, and backed by enterprise-grade support.
