Contact module vs webform for contact us form on Dev portal

Google Cloud Apigee

Hi all,

I know this is not an APIGEE question, but since we have many drupal experts in the community thought of asking it here. :wink:

I have to create a contact form on the site. I have explored the possibilities and know that it can be achieved using either of the method (Contact module or webform) .

I observed that all the webform submissions are stored in DB and provides an analytics on the form submission which is a good thing, but will it be good in terms of performance as the no. of submissions and no. of users of the site increases ??

Which one would you suggest??

@Vipul Agarwal ,

I will suggest webform in below use cases,

  • If you would like to have visibility of submissions across group of Developer Portal Admins Past, Present & Future.
  • Customizing field & New Fields.
  • Storing submission data.
  • Exporting submission data.
  • Drupal views integration.

If you want a much simpler solution with just an email notification, I would suggest contact module. I don’t think performance is an issue. Drupal is used for millions of stored entities & high traffic.

Hope it helps.
