Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"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."
"Sharing information is very easy in SharePoint. We use multiple types of documents, like online Excel tools and online content editing, especially for group editing. This allows us to collaborate, even in distributed teams. Despite being geographically spread out, everyone can access the same files online, edit them, and see changes. We also use SharePoint to track all these changes, making our teamwork more collaborative overall. The tool fastens information sharing and collaboration."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"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

Information not available
"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."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The pricing works for us."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"It is very expensive.​"

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
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…
