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

"Previously, I have used a variety of solutions, including the custom ones, and I switched solutions because Drupal provides all the features that I need."
"If you need an open-source, scalable and secure CMS, then go for Drupal."
"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."
"Drupal is the opposite, since it is not closed software and it does not rely on only one company."
"Drupal is one of the most robust content management systems."
"Drupal’s extensible nature allows me to easily integrate with third-party hosted systems and pull or push data to those systems."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"We have built a production ready, heavy content website using this product within two to three months."
"The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot."
"The solution is easy to use and helps me to communicate with my students."
"Our company is moving from their Skype for Business to Teams. So I've seen it, I've looked at it, I've used it somewhat enjoyed the UI."
"All the functions I needed were supported very well, making the product very effective."
"The group chat is very good."
"What I use the most is the plugin or the optimization feature."
"We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business."
 

Cons

"As with most if not all web technologies, theres always an initial learning curve that can seem daunting."
"Admin Interface: You'll often hear that Drupal has a pretty high learning curve."
"It needs a shorter learning curve."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"It needs better and more themes available for download, like you have in WordPress."
"The technical support is below average as compared to all the other products."
"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."
"People might think it is too complicated or that it looks too complicated at the beginning."
"Microsoft Teams can start being more interactive and intuitive by implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"We have experienced response delays with the product. It can be hard to understand where to click in the solution. Also, the solution should incorporate videos like 'How to use Teams' that can be popularized among customers."
"The way we test the audio devices must be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the cell phone version. I also have issues in copying the links in the conversation."
"The only thing that can be improved is that when you are talking one on one, there is no recording facility."
"It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped."
"The interface must be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like to see better pricing."
"The solution's pricing is average."
"The product is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."
"We have a license needed to use Microsoft Teams."
"It is moderately expensive than other Microsoft products."
"Microsoft Teams comes with a yearly subscription, which is not very expensive."
"The tool's price is high. We purchase Microsoft Office 365 on per user basis and we get support also on that basis."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"We get the solution on a corporate plan, where everything is included."

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…
