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.

Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint ( /products/sharepoint-reviews ) is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

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."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."
"The solution is easy to use."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"Ability to store files of any type."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
 

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."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"​Improve the user-friendliness."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The product is reasonably priced."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"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."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
