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 a very powerful tool for the developer's hands and also, it's very easy for the content editors to use."
"It is good for big projects."
"The open source nature of Drupal, being free to extend or alter it is massively important for us."
"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."
"Use Drupal if expandability is a must or if you are building a large website with various kinds of functionality."
"Significantly less time spent on production issues and maintaining existing functionality, translating into significantly more time adding new and enhanced functionality."
"It has a huge community and support from all over the web."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia, and the personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Teams Planner module."
"I believe there has been a return on investment because Teams has seamlessly allowed us to continue to do our work over the lockdown period."
"In regards to COVID and the Pandemic, we would not be able to do our regular job without this mechanism in place."
"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."
"File sharing is the most valuable feature."
"Microsoft Teams is a friendly and easy-to-install solution."
"The primary use case of this solution is as a collaboration platform."
"It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams."
 

Cons

"Creating complex content types (involving translations), is still a very slow and painful process."
"It needs better and more themes available for download, like you have in WordPress."
"We had some stability issues."
"There is need for better organization of the documentation on the drupal.org site."
"I think Drupal has to improve the UX for some administrative pages, such as the modules list page."
"Overall business friendliness of the product: Digital experience features like target segmentation and campaign management have a long way to go."
"Since Drupal is not developed for any specific use cases, it has some learning curve and requires effort to learn."
"The initial setup was very complex, due to the lack of proper documentation."
"The product should provide a to-do list feature."
"It is challenging to navigate the setting for the screen-sharing feature."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution could be lighter in terms of storage performance."
"It's not as easy to augment your meetings as it is with competitors. For example, in Zoom, if I want to add attendees, I just grab the meeting link and post it to them. With Teams, how to do this is not as clear."
"However, I think there is some UI/UX pointer that could be improved."
"The solution's recording could be improved because it is not as good as other products."
"In future releases, short voice messages would be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"I use Teams' free version."
"My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
"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."
"We have a license for the solution."
"The solution has a reasonable price in the market."

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…
