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

"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"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."
"Kentico is a very stable and mature system; it's one of the best on the market."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"Collaboration with other Microsoft products has made SharePoint a real tool for us."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"The product itself is very robust and capable, but the success of the tool is largely dependent upon the team that deploys and maintains the product, as well as resources available to it."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"It is a good tool that makes managing projects and teams much easier, with all documents and calendars in one central location."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
 

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."
"Searching for information appears based on Bing and that is utterly useless."
"Despite these changes, we still can't seem to get our version of SharePoint to return meaningful results, even when searching an exact document title."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"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."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The pricing works for us."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The pricing is competitive."

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…
