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

"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."
"I would say they have a modern, flexible, agile content management system."
"Kentico is a very stable and mature system; it's one of the best on the market."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"Otherwise, this is an amazing option."
"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."
"Competitors are solidly in the market who offer better workflow, security, governance and collaboration."
"The ability to assign an attribute to a library artifact allows the site owner to create the appropriate views based on artifact attributes (category, owner, etc.)."
"SharePoint provides enterprise content management, which includes the enterprise document management tools, and collaboration tools such as workspaces and team sites improve the productivity and increase collaboration."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
 

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."
"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 like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"When the number of documents in a library grows too high, there will be performance issues."
"Co-authoring needs to be real time."
"The cloud-local file synchronization application (OneDrive for Business) is not as simple as expected, but it works."
"Advise users to update the content."
"UX performance, especially in Office 365, is an issue when the sites are accessed from Asia and Australia, which is bad compared to accessing them from the USA."
"I'm trying to get the knowledge bit by bit, so I'm losing the idea of the whole product, e.g. SharePoint is losing its essence."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The pricing works for us."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."

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…
