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 CMS helped in the realization of content-rich web sites that combine article presentation with sophisticated, back-end admin functionality."
"Because of Drupal, we now have the ability to provide our customers with multilingual, multi-regional content to an extent that would not have been possible otherwise."
"Drupal is an open source content management system which provides an easy installation process, a good range of modules for features' expansion, as well as a supportive community that will help resolve issues that you face with Drupal."
"Significantly less time spent on production issues and maintaining existing functionality, translating into significantly more time adding new and enhanced functionality."
"Use Drupal if expandability is a must or if you are building a large website with various kinds of functionality."
"Drupal always rises above for a large scale contributor base, general security, and lack of vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Its feature that allows for meetings is very good. Also, the solution's performance has been good, and there have been no issues. I rate the performance of the solution a ten out of ten."
"I am impressed with the solution's collaboration with Office 365."
"The initial setup was okay."
"You can add Teams to a conversation; you can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions, and it has improved communication between teams and within each team."
"The feature for video conferencing capability works efficiently for remote meetings."
"Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good."
"Overall, this is a very good collaboration product and the only thing stopping me from giving it a perfect grade is the heavy bandwidth usage."
"I like the product's screen share feature since we can explain things to the users at the other end using it. The solution helps me to establish a virtual connection with my team."
 

Cons

"It needs better and more themes available for download, like you have in WordPress."
"There is need for better organization of the documentation on the drupal.org site."
"It needs a shorter learning curve."
"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."
"Modifying the themes (colors, dimensions, and pictures) could be easier."
"The modules need to be improved."
"It has to improve the speed of the admin section. Sometimes you will get stuck while updating the configurations, especially because it uses AJAX in the interface."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"We occasionally have issues with synchronization between different dates. This aspect of stability needs improvement."
"I think stability definitely needs to be improved in Microsoft Teams to be more convenient for users."
"I would say that Microsoft Team invitations from the calendar within the solution could be improved."
"The security needs improvement, as well as the ability to back up private chats."
"Microsoft Teams' current features are not user-friendly, making it difficult for end-users to locate and understand them. There have also been issues with crashes, which is a concern in the current scenario."
"In addition the video conferencing is not as good as Zoom, which is a more powerful solution."
"There are some issues with stability."
"I think they can improve all those segments for channel bulking."
 

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."
"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."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"It is expensive."
