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

"The open source nature of Drupal, being free to extend or alter it is massively important for us."
"Drupal CMS helped in the realization of content-rich web sites that combine article presentation with sophisticated, back-end admin functionality."
"It is good for big projects."
"Drupal is the most powerful and flexible CMS."
"Use Drupal if expandability is a must or if you are building a large website with various kinds of functionality."
"Views, terms, panels, and entity conception. It is a very useful and fast solution to build successful web applications."
"The site was built on Drupal in three hours."
"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."
"Microsoft Teams is a very good collaborative tool."
"The product is more convenient than taking a plane to Australia. Going to Australia can take around two days. The tool is much quicker. The video conferencing feature has improved our productivity."
"The solution is simple and present in many devices at one time."
"The product is continually growing to add new features and functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that I can attach files in any format."
"Message and chat retention is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are visual and audio, as they are very clear with no interruptions."
"You can scale the solution if you need to, as it does quite well in that regard and covers our needs very well, and a company that needs to expand it out can do so quite easily."
 

Cons

"It needs a better UI for the back-end user."
"The GUI is still not as intuitive as WordPress."
"Since Drupal is not developed for any specific use cases, it has some learning curve and requires effort to learn."
"For specific use cases, there are bugs with its DB Query UI tables (Drupal Views)."
"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."
"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."
"Overall business friendliness of the product: Digital experience features like target segmentation and campaign management have a long way to go."
"We had some stability issues."
"The setup of Microsoft Teams is not very easy, with occasional issues in driver installation and browser compatibility."
"I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout."
"Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution."
"Microsoft Teams should include better integration of the multi-viewer webinar-type system."
"The solution's customer support should be faster and more responsive."
"It may be a little daunting to learn and is still a tool in development."
"Microsoft Teams should include the possibility of creating questionnaires or polls during webinars, whereby the people watching can answer the questionnaires in real time."
"I would like to get less frequent updates from the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
"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."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"I use Teams' free version."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"The solution is affordable."

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…
