A good product that helps me to manage complex digital solutions
My advice to others would be that Drupal is not only a CMS, you need to learn the Drupal fundamentals before to start the project. Drupal is a handy tool whenever you work on a digital infrastructure broad project and not only a simple website. So if you have a big project, you can use Drupal. But if you have a small website, like a blog or simple website, my advice would be not to use Drupal, because Drupal is too complex and the cost to maintain the platform can be too high, related to the value of your website, for example. If you have a website with a big product catalog, for example, in many languages and in many countries in the world, then Drupal is good. But if you have a simple website, like a portfolio or five page-website, you can use many other technologies that'd be simple to maintain and implement. On a scale from one to 10, I will rate Drupal an eight. In the next release, I would like to see basic page buttons and better integration with the analytics platform. A drag and drop function to create simple pages will also be handy. For example, if a customer wants to create a landing page, it should be easy for him or her to do so. I would also like to see better translation management.

Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I encourage others to use this product; it is a very powerful CMS tool with a lot of themes and modules and is great for enterprise use."
"With over 23,000 contributed modules, there’s a high chance that any feature you want has already been built, and is available for you to use at no cost."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."
"Drupal is one of the most robust content management systems."
"The site was built on Drupal in three hours."
"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS, and I like that it's a good product to manage complex digital solutions."
"The best things about Drupal are its extensibility and plug-ability."
"I am part of the pre-sales team. The solution helps me to pass collected information to customers through meetings."
"The most valuable features are the messaging and the video calling, especially where you can add a background."
"Now, several months and a pandemic since my original review, I'm happy to say that the product has improved with better performance and increased functionality."
"One big advantage of this solution over competitors is it is bundled with Office 365. This makes it more convenient."
"The tool's user interface is very good."
"Neither myself nor the end-users have had issues since we began using this solution."
"The solution is simple and present in many devices at one time."
"The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging."
 

Cons

"There were some stability issues, i.e., only with the new version, the main changes are not stable."
"I think Drupal has to improve the UX for some administrative pages, such as the modules list page."
"There are not enough Drupal developers to satisfy demand."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"Unfortunately, with Drupal, there is a number of learning paradigms that you have to discover, which can make it difficult to understand as a newcomer."
"The GUI is still not as intuitive as WordPress."
"It needs better and more themes available for download, like you have in WordPress."
"Creating complex content types (involving translations), is still a very slow and painful process."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"I faced a scenario where I disconnected the call from my laptop, but sometimes the call still came through on my phone."
"We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365."
"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"The user interface is non-intuitive and should be improved."
"The tool has two versions: the desktop application installed on the computer and the web-based version. There are some differences between the two. For example, from the browser, you can pin it on the taskbar without installing the application, similar to Google Chat. You can also use the installed desktop application you download from the web."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."
"We don't have to pay for the solution."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten."

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…
