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."

"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."

"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."

"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."

"Tech support tops off as excellent."

"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."

"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."

"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."

"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."

More SharePoint pros

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."

"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."

"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."

"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."

"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."

"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."

"The solution should improve its integration with other project management tools."

"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 product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."

More SharePoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."

"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 platform has medium pricing."

"The pricing is competitive."

"It is very expensive."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."

"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."

"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

SharePoint is a Microsoft-based platform for building web applications. It covers a widerange of capabilities and while it is appropriate for experienced webdevelopers, even non-technical minded users can easily navigate through thesystem and execute functions such as collaborating data, managing documents andfiles, creating websites, managing social networking solutions, and automatingworkflow.

Major areas that SharePoint deals with are websites,communities, content, search, insights, and composites. The purpose is to give usersthe ability to create or develop these key business components on their owneven without technical knowledge of, for example, how to build a website or howto integrate coding. Configuring SharePoint into a business's system is meantto cut out all of the complicated steps, and pave the way for easierimplementation all around.
