Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS.""You can build websites on it very quickly.""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."

More Drupal Pros →

"We are satisfied with the technical support, there are no issues.""Everything gets integrated. Different services that they provide are well integrated into the entire system, which is the biggest strength of Microsoft products. Everything works together. If I create a Microsoft Teams theme, I get a SharePoint site and planner. Everything, including permissions, is scoped, which is really nice.""Microsoft 365 Business is stable.""I like everything. For me, this is a perfect product. It is rich in terms of features, and new functionalities are available very often. It is super straightforward to install, and their technical support is the best that I've ever seen.""like Outlook. Outlook is an email solution, and we're using it every day for daily communication.""The user interface is good and it is very easy to use.""We can access it from anywhere. We can access it from home, the office, or any other place. It is a simple and the right product for the current COVID situation.""The integration with all of the combinations of tools has been problem-free so far."

Cons
"It is a little bit simplified.""The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful.""Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go.""I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."

More Drupal Cons →

"The dashboard is an area of improvement.""It requires logging out and in again when working for different companies.""Pricing could always be cheaper.""The integration with other platforms could be improved.""It should support the local language. It should also be cheaper.""Excel hangs many times, especially when we have equations. Excel is very heavy on the hardware, and it needs powerful hardware. I hope they can enhance the performance of Excel. Other products are working well, except for Excel.""Excel is sometimes slow, particularly when working with large files.""Security could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I would like to see better pricing."
  • More Drupal Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Depending on which plan you purchase, there are a plethora of applications available to you."
  • "Compared to buying a license, it is much cheaper and a good buy."
  • "We do monthly billing, however, I'm not sure what the exact costs are. We may pay around $1,000/month. We started using the Microsoft Teams and we've started doing the conference call feature, so that's another $4 an account and we have a few accounts using that right now."
  • "USD $1,250 annually for the standard package."
  • "Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."
  • "Now you can select different licenses, for example, if somebody doesn't need all of the features, it would cost $8 USD per month and if they didn't need the email application then it would cost $6 USD per month."
  • "It works out to be $12.50 per user per month."
  • "Microsoft 365 Business will be good to have if you have a large organization where you have more than 3000 employees. Other cheaper solutions, like Gmail, are easily available in the market."

I decided to do a round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →
