Some key benefits of Drupal highlighted include its large and active community that constantly improves the tool, its responsiveness to current web standards and ability to work on mobile platforms, and its adoption by major organizations like NASA and governments in South America. Safety and robustness are emphasized as important selling points for Drupal to allay concerns from company staff.
