Flexible, offers helpful web templates, and has good connectivity with third-party applications
Kentico is one of the top solutions on the magic quadrant. Currently, all of the development that we do, we hard-code ourselves. We don't use local development frameworks for other systems. We are looking to expand our use of Kentico by adding no-code or low-code products for rapid development. My advice for anybody who is implementing Kentico is that if they are transitioning into it then be sure to use a phased approach. Don't try to migrate everything right away. I suggest doing it over time and become familiar with the system. If it is only one site then it will not be too difficult, but normally, there are multiple sites. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Collaboration has improved through simplified document access and controlled sharing
SharePoint is definitely used to keep a record of our files and data. The capability is quite good because it is time-saving. I have used it only four or five times, but it has been very helpful to keep all my information in a consolidated manner. The search feature is one of the most beneficial factors that we use to filter out the latest data or the latest file as per our convenience and use case. When you have a large repository, this feature is particularly valuable. Role-based access control has been helpful while developing the knowledge platform. The roles were defined clearly, which made it easy for the four or five of us to work simultaneously and collaborate on our project in a similar manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would say they have a modern, flexible, agile content management system."
"It has helped us establish our business in the USA and allows us to work with a range of corporate clients."
"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"Kentico is a very stable and mature system; it's one of the best on the market."
"We used to employ Oracle UCM, but we replaced it because of the features provided in SharePoint along with the customizations, flexibility and ease of creating websites, workflows, pages and applications."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"All employees can view necessary interactions/documents, great task management and contact management functions."
"Valuable features in this product are: Easy customization with MS .NET and related tools, stability, performance in a medium size environment (100-200 users), and full support by MS."
"The most valuable features are the high number of ready-made snippets, easy basic process automation functionality, security model, and good integration with other Microsoft products."
"It has transformed the way we do our daily tasks and the way the departments collaborate over projects, opportunities, and other operational activities."
"It helped us manage our documents and records effectively and at a reasonable cost."
"The lists handling is perfect, and any kind of content linked to them is very easy to publish."
 

Cons

"They don't have a lot of libraries, which is something that they can improve on."
"This product needs an out of the box Intranet/Extranet Solution."
"Primarily, the mobile experience is wanting in SharePoint 2010."
"The user interface, although extensible, leaves much to the imagination when compared to modern websites."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"We are looking for increased functionality on SharePoint or to change to something else."
"Achieving our goals in a multi-vendor project was not an easy task because of the 2010 UI."
"While this workflow operating system is better than others on the market, it is uncomfortable and expensive to really implement what you need."
"I would rate Microsoft support a six out of 10, which I feel is a fair rating."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"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."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"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."

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…
