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

"Use Drupal if expandability is a must or if you are building a large website with various kinds of functionality."
"Its ability to style the article module is the most valuable feature, as it gives the developer the flexibility to show the articles the way he or she wants."
"The best things about Drupal are its extensibility and plug-ability."
"We have built a production ready, heavy content website using this product within two to three months."
"If you need an open-source, scalable and secure CMS, then go for Drupal."
"Views, terms, panels, and entity conception. It is a very useful and fast solution to build successful web applications."
"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."
"Significantly less time spent on production issues and maintaining existing functionality, translating into significantly more time adding new and enhanced functionality."
"The feature I find to be the most valuable is the integration with document management capabilities and video conferencing, screen sharing, etc."
"Message and chat retention is a valuable feature."
"The features that I find most useful in Microsoft Teams are that it is easy to manage, easy to use, and easy to program meetings."
"I like the tool's screen share 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."
"We like that you can get a lot of users on one call without the call actually failing or losing quality. Hosts can connect, if I recall correctly, up to 90,000 people. If you need a massive company-wide meeting, you can do it."
"The solution has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording."
"It is an excellent all-around communications tool that works well for business purposes."
 

Cons

"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"We had some stability issues."
"It needs a better UI for the back-end user."
"For specific use cases, there are bugs with its DB Query UI tables (Drupal Views)."
"The main complaints of the clients or newcomers to Drupal are about the UX of the admin interface."
"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."
"Creating complex content types (involving translations), is still a very slow and painful process."
"With respect to security, there needs to be more work done. I was surprised, for example, yesterday, when my daughter was able to use my Microsoft Teams interface for her schoolwork. I was surprised that they could do that, because I believe it was only for my own personal use."
"I faced a scenario where I disconnected the call from my laptop, but sometimes the call still came through on my phone."
"Only once did we really get help from Microsoft support; the rest were cases we resolved ourselves while just exchanging useless emails with support."
"The solution's stability can be better."
"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."
"The security needs improvement, as well as the ability to back up private chats."
"The user interface could be improved, it's a bit tedious that you cannot move around within the solution without closing what you are in the middle of."
"In addition the video conferencing is not as good as Zoom, which is a more powerful solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution's cost is high."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
"There is a need to pay for the licensing... I know that the payments are made on a yearly basis...There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing."
"We have a license for the solution."

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…
