Being free to extend or alter it is important for us.
The open source nature of Drupal, being free to extend or alter it is massively important for us. We also use it to build communications. Not being tied to a single vendor means that we can have scale for developers It gives the company the ability to quickly spin up ideas, and the scalability to…

Streamlined collaboration through seamless integration and customization
I have been an administrator for SharePoint and have used it as an end-user for document storage. Predominantly, I've been involved in administration SharePoint helps a lot since we've moved from using it directly to using it as a backend for Teams, which makes collaboration easier. It supports…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is good for big projects."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"It is very stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"The navigation is confusing."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The pricing works for us."

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…
