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.

Secure collaboration has improved as I create and host protected web assets for my team
It is a little difficult to name the areas for improvements in SharePoint because I don't use it all that much. I know I can host pages on it and feel that the CMS platform, which helps create those pages, can be improved. The interface is not all that great, but other than that, there's not much to say because it's a pretty simple tool and I don't have high expectations for it to improve. The main issue bothering me today is the Content Management System, which is basically the interface through which I can create the landing page. The design and the way to incorporate things could be better because there are better content management platforms available right now. Even newer platforms like WordPress are better, so I think SharePoint can improve on that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has helped us establish our business in the USA and allows us to work with a range of corporate clients."
"Kentico is a very stable and mature system; it's one of the best on the market."
"I would say they have a modern, flexible, agile content management system."
"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"I rate it a ten."
"Otherwise, this is an amazing option."
"When properly implemented and users are adequately trained, SharePoint can take the place of network file shares for most types of use cases."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"SharePoint 2013 had a better and cleaner user interface that has appealed to more users."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use."
"The solution has helped host our intranet and thereby helped in content publishing and distribution."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
 

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."
"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"I’ve personally experienced some difficulties in creating new pages, as this tool isn’t a web designer’s dream."
"I have been facing some challenges when using SharePoint, as the workflows freeze at times, so there is a maintenance activity which needs to be done periodically."
"For the functionality you get at this price point, it leaves a lot to be desired."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"It will fully use your system resources."
"We need the storage of the files, the documents right now are in the database. Maybe SharePoint has to improve the capability to store the information in file systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"It is very expensive.​"

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…
