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.

Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint ( /products/sharepoint-reviews ) is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

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."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"The security feature is valuable."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"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."
 

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 workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"The solution should improve its integration with other project management tools."
"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."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The pricing is competitive."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The platform has medium pricing."

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…
