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."
"It has helped us establish our business in the USA and allows us to work with a range of corporate clients."
"Kentico is a very stable and mature system; it's one of the best on the market."
"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"SharePoint Search improved document searchability from different sources like file systems and Office 365."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"The stability of SharePoint is high."
"I find that SharePoint when used for the right purpose, lends itself to be a fantastic collaboration and workflow service."
"SharePoint provides out-of-the-box data indexing and caching."
"The most valuable features are its ease of integration and customization."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"Integration with Office 365 and Active Directory, and access from all our company users as part of the Office 365 licenses, plus hassle free access from mobile devices to sites, forms, and lists, with powerful content search and preview."
 

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."
"I have noticed in organizations I joined that they lock down SharePoint so much, there is very limited functionality."
"Analytics and reporting is an area with room for improvement. It should provide more complex-process automation out of the box."
"For the functionality you get at this price point, it leaves a lot to be desired."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"Search integration across SharePoint, Yammer, Teams, and OneDrive."
"The problem is IT departments that don't understand the solution start in the wrong direction, which can lead to reinstalls and other interruptions because of the initial configuration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The pricing works for us."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"It is very expensive.​"

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…
