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

"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"Its scalability, content management practices, security and the community are valuable features."
"The ability to create a complex website with a few developments is the most valuable feature, that's what got me started."
"In the end, you’ll have a solid CMS platform with which to work."
"Drupal 8 has an architecture that will scale well and better than previous versions, especially given big pipe."
"The site was built on Drupal in three hours."
"Drupal CMS helped in the realization of content-rich web sites that combine article presentation with sophisticated, back-end admin functionality."
"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."
"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."
"The transcription feature is great."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
"I am impressed with the solution's collaboration with Office 365."
"It is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Teams is a very good collaborative tool."
"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 conversation capabilities and document management are the solution's most valuable features."
 

Cons

"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."
"Sometimes, you just have to read the code to understand how it works or how to use an API, which is not the best way to learn for everyone."
"The main complaints of the clients or newcomers to Drupal are about the UX of the admin interface."
"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."
"Since Drupal is not developed for any specific use cases, it has some learning curve and requires effort to learn."
"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."
"Drupal 8 is only 1.5 years old. It has stability issues, but not major ones."
"There were some stability issues, i.e., only with the new version, the main changes are not stable."
"The solution needs to be more stable. I have found Zoom to be more stable than Teams."
"It would be good if the solution had some sort of AI built into it while taking the transcript so that at least the sentences made sense."
"I have had concerns with login and resource consumption using Microsoft Teams, I would consider Zoom or Cisco WebEx as better solutions."
"The product is immature and lacks some of the features and functionality you would expect in a collaboration tool."
"Inability to call into meetings."
"There are a couple of faulty areas that need improvement."
"The tool lacks AI. We will require AI in the solution to be able to integrate with all other tools."
"There are some issues with stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"I use Teams' free version."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten. Its pricing is fixed."
"The tool's price is part of MS Office 365 and I would rate its pricing five out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"We have a license for the solution."
"Microsoft Teams’s pricing is low."
