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.

Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need an open-source, scalable and secure CMS, then go for Drupal."
"It is a very powerful tool for the developer's hands and also, it's very easy for the content editors to use."
"In the end, you’ll have a solid CMS platform with which to work."
"Drupal is an open source content management system which provides an easy installation process, a good range of modules for features' expansion, as well as a supportive community that will help resolve issues that you face with Drupal."
"Being a community based product, the relationship with the product itself is providing back to the community."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia, and the personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The best things about Drupal are its extensibility and plug-ability."
"Drupal could be chosen not only for its adaptability and ability to tackle big website projects, but for its core functionalities, which are unmatched in the free software CMS world."
"Sharing screens is valuable."
"Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams."
"The mobile app really enabled us to connect meetings on the go from anywhere."
"Overall, this is a very good collaboration product and the only thing stopping me from giving it a perfect grade is the heavy bandwidth usage."
"Using the solution's screen-sharing feature, we can go through a document together and take control."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Microsoft Planner. Most users now use Microsoft Teams since many companies use Microsoft Office 365. It's built into the plan, and they use the same email address for a single sign-on."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can be included in most systems...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Drupal community and forums are not as easy and straightforward as Wordpress, the number of areas covered by existing plugins should be larger, and it is resource hungry compared to Wordpress."
"It needs a shorter learning curve."
"As with most if not all web technologies, theres always an initial learning curve that can seem daunting."
"It needs a better UI for the back-end user."
"There are not enough Drupal developers to satisfy demand."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"Drupal 8 is only 1.5 years old. It has stability issues, but not major ones."
"It needs better and more themes available for download, like you have in WordPress."
"I had to type the team members versus being able to set up a team's group of names as you can do with Outlook."
"After six months of working with it, I still find the UI a little clunky when it comes to sharing content and moving around between features like the calendar and files."
"Sometimes Avaya is required for Teams to work well on phones."
"I faced a scenario where I disconnected the call from my laptop, but sometimes the call still came through on my phone."
"It's a bit slow, especially if you are downloading photos."
"User interface could be improved"
"Signing up for a new device for the solution is challenging."
"The only thing that can be improved is that when you are talking one on one, there is no recording facility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"It is expensive."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."
"I use Teams' free version."
"The solution is part of enterprise Microsoft 365 licensing."
"The tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution."
