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

"Drupal’s extensible nature allows me to easily integrate with third-party hosted systems and pull or push data to those systems."
"Drupal is the opposite, since it is not closed software and it does not rely on only one company."
"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."
"The most valuable are the security features and a wide array of available modules, or extensions, that can be used to add functionality to a Drupal website."
"Being a community based product, the relationship with the product itself is providing back to the community."
"If you need an open-source, scalable and secure CMS, then go for Drupal."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"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."
"It's mainly the integration of everything document-wise and the consistency that I really liked within Microsoft Teams."
"This is a stable solution, I have not faced any problems using the video conferencing."
"In general, Teams allows me to connect with anyone in the organization and share files with the team."
"The tool's integration with OneNote and Power BI is good. The current version of Microsoft Teams is significantly more user-friendly compared to previous versions. I find it easy to handle any user needs and provide assistance. The device installation process is straightforward, and configuring it for users is not complicated. This seamless and user-friendly experience makes it easy to connect with everyone."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities in one application, whereas in the past we had to use multiple applications, and that, I would say, would be the biggest benefit that we've experienced, in that we have only one application that we can use to collaborate and speak with each other."
"The planner and the breakout rooms are good and helpful features in Microsoft Teams."
"Microsoft Teams has impacted my organization positively because we have taken the Microsoft Office suite altogether for enterprise level, which gives us exposure to all these platforms."
 

Cons

"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."
"Modifying the themes (colors, dimensions, and pictures) could be easier."
"We had stability issues. I have a lot of 'Out of memory' issues."
"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"Overall business friendliness of the product: Digital experience features like target segmentation and campaign management have a long way to go."
"The technical support is below average as compared to all the other products."
"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 initial setup was very complex, due to the lack of proper documentation."
"The interface must be improved to reflect the true face of Office 365."
"Inability to see large numbers of participants."
"The main issue is that the link goes down when there are internet issues."
"I have faced issues with connection. Maybe, it's an issue from my side. The company accounts in Teams has some issues as well. I could not establish calls with certain domains, and then the product asked me to buy a professional account. The problem with Teams is that they are split between professional or company accounts and personal accounts. It's not very clear how you can go from one to another. That's the main issue with teams."
"Microsoft Teams should include the possibility of creating questionnaires or polls during webinars, whereby the people watching can answer the questionnaires in real time."
"The solution's login process could be more straightforward."
"I had to type the team members versus being able to set up a team's group of names as you can do with Outlook."
"It is challenging to navigate the setting for the screen-sharing feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."
"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool is cheaper than Google Meet. I rate it a three out of four."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution."
"The solution is priced high."
"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."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
