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

"In the end, you’ll have a solid CMS platform with which to work."
"The best things about Drupal are its extensibility and plug-ability."
"It is good for big projects."
"Drupal could be chosen not only for its adaptability and ability to tackle big website projects, but for its core functionalities, which are unmatched in the free software CMS world."
"The most valuable are the security features and a wide array of available modules, or extensions, that can be used to add functionality to a Drupal website."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia, and the personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Views, terms, panels, and entity conception. It is a very useful and fast solution to build successful web applications."
"Significantly less time spent on production issues and maintaining existing functionality, translating into significantly more time adding new and enhanced functionality."
"Microsoft Teams is a scalable tool because it integrates with many other tools and different kinds of apps."
"Microsoft Teams is a friendly and easy-to-install solution."
"Microsoft Teams has impacted us in positive terms, as we have worked with multiple teams and the team collaboration is very good."
"Team sharing is really cool. It's great to have remote access, document sharing, and collaboration during calls and meetings."
"The solution is easy to use and helps me to communicate with my students."
"This has improved productivity and communication significantly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have remote meetings with customers and colleagues."
"I like the tool's screen share feature."
 

Cons

"There is need for better organization of the documentation on the drupal.org site."
"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 user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"The modules need to be improved."
"If you have a high traffic site and speed is important, to optimize Drupal you will probably need an expert."
"I think Drupal has to improve the UX for some administrative pages, such as the modules list page."
"Admin Interface: You'll often hear that Drupal has a pretty high learning curve."
"For specific use cases, there are bugs with its DB Query UI tables (Drupal Views)."
"I would like to get more frequent updates, and the solution’s stability could be improved."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I would say that Microsoft Team invitations from the calendar within the solution could be improved."
"One area that could be improved is the authentication process, especially related to Windows sign-on authentication."
"Microsoft Teams could improve because it is heavy on bandwidth. We have some access points and when we have 30 or 40 users on it with Microsoft Teams calls can drop. WebEx does not use as much bandwidth."
"One of the issues we have is that sometimes when you're trying to share your screen the solution crashes."
"I think the solution would be improved by giving people the ability to call into meetings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"I rate Microsoft Teams an eight out of ten for its pricing."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
"The standalone license is not cheap."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."

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…
