Being free to extend or alter it is important for us.
The open source nature of Drupal, being free to extend or alter it is massively important for us. We also use it to build communications. Not being tied to a single vendor means that we can have scale for developers It gives the company the ability to quickly spin up ideas, and the scalability to…

Whiteboard and content sharing features are good
I would rate Teams's stability as a nine out of ten. However, some recent updates have made it less stable. I find it a little bit choppy. Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth. So, sometimes, when you have low bandwidth the quality becomes very poor. So, you have to optimize your usage.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."
"It is good for big projects."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"In general, Teams allows me to connect with anyone in the organization and share files with the team."
"The tool's integration capabilities are seamless."
"The tool is simple to use."
"The video conferencing is good."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Teams are the ease of use. It is very good for a small virtual office for meetings and calendars which sync well together."
"The solution's scalability works well."
"Microsoft Teams is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging."
 

Cons

"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"The mobile application needs improvement. There are a lot of features on the web and desktop versions that aren't implemented yet on mobile."
"On rare occasions, it freezes and some people will lose sound or they could lose video."
"The product's performance has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"What I'd like to improve in Microsoft Teams are the calendar management and task management tools, because they're not easy to use. They're not user-friendly."
"Everything is running smoothly, and I’m still exploring more features. As for improvements, I think it could be more user-friendly and integrate better with third-party software, like Zoom and other video conferencing tools."
"Lacking in more complex hierarchies for files and teams."
"The product should improve its security."
"One thing that needs improvement in the solution is licensing tools within the application, preferably on a per-user basis. Also, it would be great if the contacts list could be synced between it and Outlook. If I receive an email in Outlook, I can easily create a meeting with that person's credentials. But I must manually find and enter their email address in Microsoft Teams. It's a small thing, but it can be frustrating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."
"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."
"Its pricing is reasonable."
"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."

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…
