5 Reasons to migrate from Drupal 7 to Liferay DXP: A secure and future-proof choice
As the end-of-life (EOL) for Drupal 7 approaches on January 5th 2025, website owners face a critical decision: how to keep their sites secure, functional, and competitive. While upgrading to a newer version of Drupal is an option, migrating to a more robust and future-proof platform like Liferay DXP offers several compelling advantages. Here are five key reasons why migrating from Drupal 7 to Liferay DXP is the smarter move:
1. Enhanced security and peace of mind
With Drupal 7 reaching EOL, security updates will stop, leaving your website vulnerable to hacking attempts and data breaches. Liferay DXP, on the other hand, prioritizes security with ongoing updates and a commitment to protecting your data.
Liferay holds a range of certifications like ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, and CSA Star Level 1 and Level 2. These certifications underscore Liferay's commitment to safeguarding data and maintaining robust security standards. Each year, Liferay undergoes rigorous independent audits conducted by third-party vendors, ensuring they consistently meet and exceed industry best practices in data protection and security.
By choosing Liferay DXP, you can focus on your business goals, confident that your website is safeguarded by top-tier security practices.
2. Modern features for a modern digital experience
Today's digital landscape demands a CMS that can keep pace. Liferay DXP offers a suite of modern features that Drupal 7 simply can't match, including:
- Cloud-native architecture: Enjoy effortless scalability and flexible deployment for a truly modern digital experience.
- Omnichannel marketing tools: Deliver personalized content across all channels, reaching your audience wherever they are.
- Robust integration capabilities: Seamlessly connect Liferay DXP effortlessly with your existing business tools and technologies, streamlining workflows and boosting efficiency.
3. Scalability to support your growing business
As your business thrives, your website needs to adapt. Drupal 7 may struggle to handle significant growth in traffic or data. Liferay DXP, however, is built to scale. Its robust architecture ensures your website can accommodate increasing user numbers and evolving content demands, supporting your business every step of the way.
4. User-friendly experience for everyone
Managing a website shouldn't be a headache. Liferay DXP features an intuitive and user-friendly interface and fully accessible back-end, making it easy for both content creators and administrators to navigate the platform. This is a stark contrast to Drupal 7, which can be complex to manage, especially for non-technical users. Liferay DXP empowers your team to focus on creating high-quality content instead of wrestling with a complicated CMS. With features like the visual content editor and Layout Builder for creating personalized experiences effortlessly, it ensures responsiveness without any hassle.
