We performed a comparison between Joomla and SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The speed in which you can take a CMS and make it a full-blown shopping cart with analytics tracking, SEO, user accounts, security, and ease of use through a robust framework of modules and plugins to enhance and promote-related content is about as turnkey as it gets with Joomla."
"One of the most robust, stable, secure, feature-rich CMSs on the market."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"It is very stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"I would like to see the same sorting and attributes available through the web browser on the JED (sorting by free or commercial license, sort by rating, popularity, etc.) within the back-end Joomla Web Installer when browsing extensions."
"I would like to see more back-end admin power pulled into the front-end, therefore the admins will not have to use the back-end as much, especially for the menu manager, user manager, etc. versus using third-party extensions to achieve this."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"The navigation is confusing."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
