Drupal Vs Jooma: Complete Comparison

I have read about this topic on the following link and found it really useful
Drupal Vs Joomla But the following link has been unavailable recently
for some unknown reason (date: 18th June), however I had a copy of the page so
I am posting the same material in a slightly edited way for other users so that
they can also benefit from it.



Then place your table within that class:

	Joomla	Drupal
Community Features	Community Builder - a great component, but needs an SEF extension to enable URLs like Youtube.	Really good, Users can form groups and expansion of the registraion form is native to Drupal.
SSL Compatible	Does not comes default or naturally, you need to put in some hack to do it.	Drupal is SSL compatible.
SEO	This is one feature that Joomla lags behind. OpenSEF is the hope for joomla. SEF Advance is roughly comparable quality but costs 50 Euros. However the code is not really optimized. Altogether a negative point.	Optimized for SEO purpose, the outof box URL work in a fine manner and you can use addon omdules to improve it. The code is well optimized
Forums	JoomlaBoard lacks many important features. It is suggested that you SMF with Joomla	Even though it lacks in high end features but comparably smoother than Joomla. You can also go for VbDrupal.
Multimedia	Supported with a lot of options.	Both podcast & drupal video option available.
Photo Galleries	You can use Gallery2 or Flashexpose. Photo galleries are well supported.	You can use Gallery2 option or use the default module.
Event Calendars	offers a lot of options in form of plug ins and integration	Not comparable to the features offered by Joomla.
Blogs	Uses a port of Wordpress. Some out-of-the-box capability. For more information visit here.	Its a decent enough blog though again some high end features are missing.
Document Management	DocMan is the default document management system.	Lags behind in this area.
Template / Themes	Joomla really has a great deal of offering in terms of themes and templates that can be applied to various pages.	Not many choices available. The default choise are not really good. Earlier versions allow only one template for all pages though that will change with Drupal 5.X.
User Permissions	Joomla has a very centralized admin area. Few people can be passed on permissions beyond adding posts or adding content.	Drupal has a much better system, though its group based management and not a single user based management.
Multisites Management	Available only commercially.	Perhaps one of the most desirable features of drupal.
Content Management	Joomla is very restrictive in choices it offers..	Unlimited taxonomy, vocabulary, categories and subcategories. Drupal is way ahead.
Documentation	Previous versions had poor documentation, Joomla 1.5 seems to improve on that. However, a lot of useful information on the Joomla forums.	Not too bad.
Commercial Community	Excellent, one of the strongest in Open Source SMS.Try Joomla Yellow Pages or Joomla.org.	Weak. Try Drupal.org, Drupal Yellow Pages or Drupalancers.
External Integration	Joomla 1.5 is supposed to have better API and more hooks for external integration.	Drupal is the choice if you are looking for external integration, It has option for plenty of hooks.
Standards Compliance	Not great. Accessible Joomla is a fork necessary to move Joomla towards compliance. Mambo/Joomla dates from before standards were even considered (1999).	Excellent support
General Community	Great. Both commercial and open source support available.	Great, try Drupal.org, its really helpful.
Ease-of-use	Joomla is really easy to start with, even for non-technical amateur users.	Drupal takes some time before you start understanding on how to do things.
Size	Version 1.5 is 16.7 MB	Version 5.0 is 2.89 MB
Learning Curve	One of the easiest CMS to learn and use.	Slightly tough as compared to Joomla, but otherwise easy.
Internationalization	You can tryJoomfish but its not a natural solution.	Excellent support
Shopping Cart	Has both Virtuemart and an integration of OSCommerce. You can use OSCommerce for multicurrency option or if the payment gateway is not supported by Virtuemart.	Ubercart is the hope for Drupal but there are not many good options avialable.
Speed	A default installation of 1.5 loads in 1.33 seconds. (Scores from http://sitescore.silktide.com)	A default installation loads in 1.05 seconds. (Score from http://sitescore.silktide.com)
Overall	Producing a good-looking site with plenty of functionality is a relatively easy task with Joomla.	Drupal is more community-oriented and the current live version is more extensible.
