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."
"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."
"I rate it a ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"SharePoint manages version control, which makes it easier to track and amend documentation accurately, maintaining document integrity and enabling quick recovery if necessary."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."

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…
