Q:

Is Drupal good for managing users and processing users' comments

I'm looking to build a website which displays a selection of items. The end users can post comments, tags, ratings, etc. about an item and I want to use an algorithm to process those comments (etc.) and distill information. For example, if a lot of people use the same word about this item, I would like to display that information differently. Besides, I want high level of interactivity with the visual elements on the site and a way to manage users' database (log in, summary page, inbox etc.) but without any e-commerce or complex social media functions.
I have background in HTML, Java, and FLEX so you can see I'm not a veteran web developer. That's why I want to use a CMS. I'm looking in to Drupal now since it's an efficient and multi-purposed CMS but honestly I have very little knowledge about any other platforms. So I wonder if it's good or suitable for my purpose.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

A:

In short: yes, Drupal could handle this in a best way. I would suggest you to build a free Drupal 7 site using https://www.drupalgardens.com/ to test features you need.
