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

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."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
 

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."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"While working with SharePoint, I observed that if the number of files is too much, the upload time, management time, and search time consume a lot of time during the initial phase."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"The web parts in SharePoint could be more intuitive for end users."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The pricing works for us."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

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…
