A good product that helps me to manage complex digital solutions
My advice to others would be that Drupal is not only a CMS, you need to learn the Drupal fundamentals before to start the project. Drupal is a handy tool whenever you work on a digital infrastructure broad project and not only a simple website. So if you have a big project, you can use Drupal. But if you have a small website, like a blog or simple website, my advice would be not to use Drupal, because Drupal is too complex and the cost to maintain the platform can be too high, related to the value of your website, for example. If you have a website with a big product catalog, for example, in many languages and in many countries in the world, then Drupal is good. But if you have a simple website, like a portfolio or five page-website, you can use many other technologies that'd be simple to maintain and implement. On a scale from one to 10, I will rate Drupal an eight. In the next release, I would like to see basic page buttons and better integration with the analytics platform. A drag and drop function to create simple pages will also be handy. For example, if a customer wants to create a landing page, it should be easy for him or her to do so. I would also like to see better translation management.

Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce ( /vendors/salesforce ), which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."
"It is good for big projects."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"The tool is very useful since it helps us to share documents and make calls."
"The solution is relatively stable."
"All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective."
"The communication part has been excellent so far."
"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."
"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."
"The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging."
"Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business."
 

Cons

"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."
"Sometimes, extracting the older version of a file takes a few minutes."
"I don't know how to upgrade some features for integration. It is difficult when it comes to integration with other platforms in some organizations."
"Improvements could be made in utilizing AI features, such as getting a transcript of meetings."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"There are a lot of frequent updates, which is a shortcoming of the tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."

"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution because it's included in the Microsoft 365 suite."
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
