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."
"Information is much more readily available."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"It is very stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
 

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."
"It would be nice if the editing and setting up of SharePoint were more user-friendly, so I do not have to have an expert to deal with it."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"Replication needs improvement."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"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."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The pricing is competitive."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"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."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."

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…
