Drupal vs. AEM: Key Insights on Platforms and Job Trends
BeSkillWise's blog post explores the distinctions between Drupal and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), two leading web development platforms. The analysis covers flexibility, cost, ease of use, and performance. Drupal, being open-source, provides extensive customization and is cost-effective, though it has a steep learning curve. AEM, as a proprietary platform, excels in marketing integration but comes with high licensing costs. The post examines the job market impact, noting a shift toward AEM among large enterprises while Drupal remains favoured by many for its flexibility and lower costs.
Over the past five years, Drupal job trends showed stability, a pandemic-induced dip, recovery with increased digital transformation, and a slight decline as AEM gained traction. The post concludes by advising developers to diversify their skills in both platforms to stay competitive.
