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."
"Regarding the best features in SharePoint, the accessibility part of it is great; we don't need to do the coding from zero scratch, which we really appreciate."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
 

Cons

"This product needs an out of the box Intranet/Extranet Solution."
"They don't have a lot of libraries, which is something that they can improve on."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"When working on a website with SharePoint Online, not many people can edit simultaneously. If I am editing one section, my colleague cannot edit it at the same time."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"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."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The pricing works for us."

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…
