Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to install."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"Ability to store files of any type."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its ease of use."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"The security feature is valuable."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
