Drupal Pros

Free
The Drupal platform is 100% free to download, install and use. The vast majority of themes and modules (their name for plugins) are free.
Powerful
Drupal is designed to allow you to customize every aspect of your page using powerful little modules. There are thousands of them out there and many developers available to help you make custom modules to meet your specific needs.

Drupal Cons

Developer Focused
Drupal tends to be designed more for web developers, which can make it a little difficult to use for an 'average' user. They have made significant improvements with recent versions, but if you are looking only for simplicity, there are other options that might be
Very Basic Out of the Box
The initial install of Drupal has very little to it. While you technically can run a website without using any modules, it is not recommended. The real power of Drupal is only seen when you use these modules.

Drupal Review

Initial Setup
The initial setup with Drupal is extremely easy. In most cases you can automatically install it with just a couple clicks. Even if you choose to manually install it you simply have to download the program and upload it onto your site, and then run through the install script. Once installed you can begin publishing content immediately if you choose. In most cases, however, you will want to start by choosing a theme and some modules to customize your site to meet your specific needs.
Plugins
With Drupal, plugins are called modules. There are thousands of modules to choose from, and they can all be installed directly from your admin panel with just a few clicks. The modules will typically configure themselves to work and then give you a number of options within a settings page to further customize your experience. Modules are developed by the Drupal community and published so they are available to browse and install by users.
Themes
Like any content management system, there are thousands of different themes to choose from. You can browse through them right through the control panel, choosing which one you want to install. In many cases the themes themselves will allow significant customization for things like the layout of the page and the color scheme.
Customization
Drupal is among the most customizable content management systems out there. Using themes and modules you can create anything from a simple blog to an interactive gaming site to a multi-media entertainment page, and so much more. With over a million members in the Drupal development community, there are new modules, themes and other customizations being released all the time.
SEO Friendly
Out of the box Drupal is not extremely SEO friendly. While it does have the ability to do things like create 'pretty' URLs, global redirects, custom page titles and Meta tags, it doesn't do much else in terms of SEO. The reality is, however, that almost nobody will be using Drupal out of the box so it is not a fair assessment to rank the platform like this. There are dozens of modules that are designed specifically to make it fast and easy to optimize your site for SEO, and they do a very good job. Unfortunately, there are also some out there that aren't so good. If you take some time to find the right modules for your needs, you can make a very SEO friendly site.
Cost of Running
Drupal is completely free to use. The vast majority of themes and modules made for Drupal are completely free to use. There are even many advanced Drupal modules that can be installed for free. There are, however, some premium options as well, which can cost you a onetime fee or a monthly subscription. If you want your site to be completely unique, you will have to pay a developer to create a custom theme and custom modules as well. For the average webmaster, however, you can make a very nice site without spending a dime on the platform.
