Used by our agile teams instead of email to track impediments.
Stream activity could be better organized. Activities or content you are following will either be emailed to you or you follow in a stream. This is the largest issue to overcome for new people using the solution. When using email they receive way too many and it becomes noise. If they use streams, it's yet another thing to check along with email, IM, etc.

Service level optimization is key as is the integrated email and chat functions
I'd like to see an improvement in the connection to other software or the ability to have a direct connection. For now you can send an email with specific data and the system will react to it but you can't have a direct conversation. The issue is with optimization for the times when you need to go outside of the system. I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything. You can connect from outside via the API so things like client details can be changed but there's no internal trigger that would automatically update.

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…
