SWITCH TO SITECOREAI

Trade Drupal dev delays for real-time content control

Put your marketers in the driver’s seat with SitecoreAI to provide your customers with real-time personalized content. Without the need for developer intervention.
DRUPAL DEV CYCLES ARE HOLDING YOU BACK

Scalable enterprise upgrades with greater value.

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. While Drupal's open-source flexibility is nice, it's not powerful enough to achieve scalable personalized experiences across your enterprise that your customers have grown to expect. 

SitecoreAI: Handing the content keys to marketers

SitecoreAI empowers global marketing teams to rapidly launch high-impact campaigns and experiences, personalize content for any audience, and optimize every digital touchpoint. With an intuitive, intelligent platform powered by agentic AI, you can move faster, scale smarter, and deliver the results that matter.

SITECORE IS MAKING WAVES

Don't take our word for it

Sitecore leapfrogged its position on the Forrester Wave™, landing a spot as a Leader even before SitecoreAI was announced. 

Now imagine where they’ll land next round.

While Acquia remains a Strong Performer, there’s no denying the future of having AI natively built-in, not just bolted on as an enhancement to your content operations.

SitecoreAI vs. Drupal / Acquia

Drupal / Acquia’s modular architecture is appealing, but its focus on developer tools result in deployments that drag on for months, integrations requiring armies of specialists, and marketing waiting for dev cycles for content to deploy. Compare it to SitecoreAI, and see for yourself how you can unlock your teams to realize true ROI.

  • Unified orchestration

    All the disparate systems of DAM, CDP, and Personalize are pulled together to work in orchestrated harmony. Acquia relies on third-party integrations and custom development which come at additional complexity & cost to achieve a similar foundational level for agentic AI to work.

  • Built-in AI

    AI natively built into the platform, not bolted on like Acquia. With content & data under one roof, Sitecore’s 20 pre-built agents – with access to more in the Marketplace – act as digital teammates to draft and optimize within your brand standards, approval processes, and governance.

  • Open & extensible

    You love Acquia’s open-source approach. With SitecoreAI, you can still make the platform your own. Leverage third-party connectors, build private extensions, or create custom agents. It’s a platform that’s flexible and built to move with you. 

  • Built for marketers

    Simply put: Drupal / Acquia isn’t built for marketers. SitecoreAI is made for how marketers work: intuitive navigation, connected workflows, and AI assistance that adapts to you – allowing you to launch campaigns in days, not weeks.

  • Partner ecosystem

    Drupal was known for its community, but that community is now fading. With Sitecore, you get access to a global partner network, MVP community, and Gartner-recognized enterprise support model.

  • Enterprise governance

    SitecoreAI delivers instant scalability across the enterprise, backed with governance tools to ensure compliance. Drupal / Acquia require heavy infastructure and extra complexity, slowing launch times.
