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

"It is a very powerful tool for the developer's hands and also, it's very easy for the content editors to use."
"We now have more time to focus on crucial features that our client needs, like custom mail notifications, statistics, or other features that can give our clients business value."
"Drupal could be chosen not only for its adaptability and ability to tackle big website projects, but for its core functionalities, which are unmatched in the free software CMS world."
"It has a huge community and support from all over the web."
"Drupal is the most powerful and flexible CMS."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"At Appnovation Technologies we leverage Drupal’s out of the box features and functionality in order to speed up development and delivery time for our clients."
"Views, terms, panels, and entity conception. It is a very useful and fast solution to build successful web applications."
"I use the solution for messaging and chatting."
"The recording function, the transcript function, the chat function, the live caption function, and the setting up of groups to share documents are useful features of Microsoft Teams."
"This has improved productivity and communication significantly."
"I am actively using Planner, which is very convenient because I can have all of my tasks from projects, from different boards, from my personal list; I have everything in one list and I can filter and divide and prioritize."
"It’s good to use it internally with colleagues."
"It helps our organization with faster communication."
"For me, Microsoft Teams' most valuable features are online meetings, calls, and chat. While I also use it to access OneDrive and my calendar, the core functions I rely on are meetings and calls."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate."
 

Cons

"There were some stability issues, i.e., only with the new version, the main changes are not stable."
"The admin interface has been lacking in usability."
"I think Drupal has to improve the UX for some administrative pages, such as the modules list page."
"Migration from one major version to the next major version requires significant effort."
"It needs a better UI for the back-end user."
"The modules need to be improved."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"Drupal 8 can be somewhat complex to set up because of the supporting technologies that should be installed, such as Composer, Drush, and Drupal Console."
"The call quality could be better sometimes."
"The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit."
"Improvements could be made in utilizing AI features, such as getting a transcript of meetings."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"It consumes a high amount of system memory."
"The UI can be further improved upon. When I used to use Skype, Skype was a small window that opened on your desktop. With Teams, when you use it, it occupies your full screen just like if you were in Word or Excel. Skype worked more like an app, which I preferred. I liked being able to use it in a minimized screen. If Teams could emulate that a bit, it would be a better user experience."
"There are a couple of faulty areas that need improvement."
"I would like to be able to see a larger number of participants in the gallery view, that would improve the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"I use Teams' free version."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"The solution's pricing is fair enough and not expensive. Teams' licensing costs are yearly. However, Zoom is less expensive."
"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
