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."
"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"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."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"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."

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…
