PeerSpot takes a user-centered approach to creating product comparisons that help IT decision-makers arrive at informed decisions. Instead of relying on the word of the companies that create the technological solutions, they go to the users themselves. Real users offer true feedback without any of the partiality that the solutions’ vendors may have. This is a place where peers in the tech world unite to help each other choose the products that are most appropriate for their needs.
PeerSpot’s users have made it easy for decision-makers to choose the top Corporate Portals tools and solutions that most fit their business objectives. They have created a ranked list of solutions according to how potentially valuable they feel these products may be to other users. What follows are the top two ranked products for 2022:
#1 Microsoft Sharepoint
Microsoft Sharepoint is PeerSpot users’ favorite corporate portal solution. PeerSpot users give Microsoft Sharepoint an average rating of 8 out of 10.
Microsoft Sharepoint is a platform whose design is meant to enable users to create and manage their enterprise portals. This is a versatile and widely used solution. When users deploy this solution they gain several valuable benefits. Its suite of advanced and robust security capabilities empowers users to protect their corporate data streams. Microsoft Sharepoint possesses many different security features and tools. One such feature is its centralized management capability. This feature allows users to monitor and use all of the data that flows through their system. This centralized management feature helps them deploy and administer Sharepoint’s various security features. Furthermore, this centralization cuts down on the number of resources that need to be devoted to the management of Sharepoint’s security capabilities. Users only need a small team to keep their portals safe
Microsoft Sharepoint helps users totally protect their data. Sharepoint does not authenticate websites that run on unsecured protocols. Sharepoint will only authenticate websites that run secure HTTPS protocol. Additionally, Sharepoint encrypts a user’s data using 2048-bit keys for internet exchanges and best-in-class encryption. This keeps bad actors from reading and understanding a user’s data even if they should penetrate that user’s network.
Microsoft Sharepoint also has features that protect a user’s data while it is stationary. One measure that it takes to safeguard data is a protocol that requires users who want to access a data center to have their identity verified via multiple factors of authentication. Sharepoint makes it possible for users to create scan parameters that automatically check specific kinds of documents for malware. Users gain the ability to customize the way that their portal is protected.
Ram C., an enterprise architect at Blueray Digital Services, writes, “SharePoint has many good features. You can store files of any type, whether office-related documents, videos, or MP4 recordings. Metadata can also be stored which makes searching, categorizing, and grouping documents easier. At the same time, the database doesn't take a huge amount of space because documents are on a storage device, unlike other solutions.”
Sam S., an information technology manager at The Ventoulis Institute for Local Journalism, writes, “For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature.”
#2 Atlassian Confluence
Atlassian Confluence is PeerSpot’s second-highest ranked data center networking solution. PeerSpot users give Atlassian Confluence an average rating of 7.9 out of 10.
Atlassian Confluence empowers users to exercise a high level of control over their corporate portal creation and management. It also offers a high level of flexibility and the ability to customize corporate portals to meet the user’s particular needs. If there is a feature that users need but don’t have access to, Atlassian Confluence’s marketplace can help them solve that problem. There are hundreds of integrations and extensions that they can deploy. These let them employ a wide variety of features that they might not otherwise be able to access. These integrations make it so that they always have the features that they need. Should it prove necessary, they can add to the resources without worrying that an important function is absent. They have the ability to customize Atlassian Confluence so that it contains the features that are most beneficial for them.
This solution enables users to employ automated security protocols to manage user access. These protocols allow teams to focus their attention elsewhere while the automation manages security for portal users. Additionally, data is encrypted in transit, allowing users to move it securely. They can also store their data on heavily encrypted hard drives. Atlassian Confluence provides users with the tools that they need to keep their portals safe from harm.
Atlassian Confluence gives administrators the ability to track any changes that are made across their organizations. This solution enables them to create logs that keep a close eye on every aspect of their corporate portals. Any changes that are made are recorded for administrators to review at their leisure.
Wisecat., an enterprise architect and certified information systems security professional at a technical services company, writes, “Another thing worth mentioning is the very good import and export functionality. You can just use Copy-Paste on a website or a document and Confluence will in most cases manage to reproduce the content quite recognizably. Export not only as XML, to be able to reimport, but also, PDF and Word DOCX work quite well. They can be further improved, speaking from personal experience with PDF files, by adding a few add-ons for formatting, page heading, and such. Oh, and last but not least the flexibility should be mentioned. If for any reason there is the need to change the structure of the contents, say to move a branch of pages from one top-level area to another, just copy them or export them and re-import them in their own area. Mostly, that works without a glitch (exceptions prove the rule) and even cross-area-links will continue to work. For more complicated restructuring, one can always use the XML-Export and load it into an XML-Editor. Of course, that´s for people who can read and understand XML structure.”
Styliana A., a senior operations analyst at Etoro, writes, “Confluence can give you the possibility of installing plugins to meet your different needs and you can cover all your needs. Most of them are free to install.”
