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 good for big projects."
"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."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"Message and chat retention is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is its video calling feature which makes it easier to work on the solution."
"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution helps us to accelerate communication. We use Teams to contact colleagues during emergencies instead of regular electronic phones. It helps to keep everything organized and centralized in the same place. The product is also very easy to use. I am also impressed with the solution's possibility of making quick calls and creating groups."
"It is an excellent all-around communications tool that works well for business purposes."
"Microsoft Teams adds value for businesses by providing functionality that includes co-authoring on work documents, publishing Power BI sites for reporting and billing, and integrating calendaring."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
 

Cons

"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"The tool's AI feature works well for English. However, it should also work for other languages, such as Vietnamese."
"Improvements could be made in utilizing AI features, such as getting a transcript of meetings."
"The Teams functions can be improved and some other package should be introduced."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"One area where the product could be improved is its operational memory utilization."
"The user interface is non-intuitive and should be improved."
"I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution."
 

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 tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
"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."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
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…
