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."
"Kentico is a very stable and mature system; it's one of the best on the market."
"It has helped us establish our business in the USA and allows us to work with a range of corporate clients."
"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"When properly implemented and users are adequately trained, SharePoint can take the place of network file shares for most types of use cases."
"All employees can view necessary interactions/documents, great task management and contact management functions."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"The product itself is very robust and capable, but the success of the tool is largely dependent upon the team that deploys and maintains the product, as well as resources available to it."
"SharePoint is the ideal platform in the collaboration scenario where it is quite easy to set up document repositories with appropriate permissions with just a few mouse clicks."
"This product has allowed us to coordinate the efforts of individual groups, as well as different groups that need to interact for specific projects/processes."
"Ease of implementation, certainly IT needs to give appropriate access to a sandbox, but learning is easy and quick."
 

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 solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"Setup was complex. We needed to design governance and implementation architecture before deployment."
"Submitting document changes function needs to be improved."
"The suite is complicated to set up, complicated to maintain, complicated to work with."
"Advise users to update the content."
"The web parts in SharePoint could be more intuitive for end users."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"When used with large data, SharePoint may produce performance degradation; that requires some optimization and tweaks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"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."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."

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…
