Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Microsoft Teams is user-friendly and flexible. I like its SharePoint feature also.""Compared to Zoom, Microsoft Teams is a very good solution and works well.""File sharing is the most valuable feature.""Arranging online meetings is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams.""I am impressed with the tool's integration with SharePoint where we can access it with a single click from the platform. The solution is available in web and mobile versions so it gives a seamless experience when we move from one device to another. Especially when you're on the calls, you don't need to get out of one device, and then log in to another, and then join that meeting. You need to just switch.""It is an excellent all-around communications tool that works well for business purposes.""The solution has improved internal collaboration. We can seamlessly interact on a number of documents by projecting them on the screen. This experience is not with internal teams but with clients as well.""We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The search feature is valuable.""The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great.""SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file.""It improved transparency around work products.""Its most valuable feature is the document library.""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.""Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS.""We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."

Cons
"It would be better if Microsoft Teams can link us to the internet on the screen sharing mode during the meeting.""The solution's recording could be improved because it is not as good as other products.""At times, we encounter difficulties with remote access through Teams, which requires improvement.""I think the ability to use a whiteboard in the solution is not very simple.""It's not as easy to augment your meetings as it is with competitors. For example, in Zoom, if I want to add attendees, I just grab the meeting link and post it to them. With Teams, how to do this is not as clear.""Its stability could be better.""The solution's feature for scheduling meetings could be faster for Android phones. It should work okay like its desktop version.""The way we test the audio devices must be improved."

More Microsoft Teams Cons →

"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format.""It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end.""The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc.""SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve.""The product must provide more automation.""SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do.""More hints and make it more user-customizable.""Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
  • "It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
  • "We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
  • "If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
  • "If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
  • "The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
  • "My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
  • "It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
  • More Microsoft Teams Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
  • "Licensing can be by server or by seat."
  • "It is very expensive.​"
  • "The data classification and search elements are cheap."
  • "The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
  • "We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
  • "The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
  • "The pricing works for us."

    At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →
