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

"It has helped us establish our business in the USA and allows us to work with a range of corporate clients."

"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."

"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."

"A central repository for artifacts, and planning for corporate projects."

"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."

"The initial configuration was straightforward and the online support documentation is well written and easy to follow."

"For enterprise global collaboration, DMS, and ECM needs, this is the right platform."

"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."

"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."

"SharePoint provides out-of-the-box data indexing and caching."

"MS Office Web Apps allow anywhere/anytime access to the apps used, most often for documents."

More SharePoint pros

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."

"It has its limitations. We are unable to use this tool to "archive" data and run queries to generate hindsight information."

"In general, it is a good product, but it has limited support and too much expertise required."

"We did have stability issues in the old versions and there were too many hotfixes, in the 2013 version."

"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."

"When the number of documents in a library grows too high, there will be performance issues."

"As this is a Microsoft product, it can be difficult to obtain direct support."

"Achieving our goals in a multi-vendor project was not an easy task because of the 2010 UI."

"It's Microsoft; empty your pockets. Seriously, if you obtain SharePoint under one of their blanket licensing agreements you really need to pay attention to the terms and conditions, especially if your acquisition is part of Office 365."

More SharePoint cons

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."

"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."

"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."

"The pricing is competitive."

"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."

"Licensing can be by server or by seat."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

SharePoint is a Microsoft-based platform for building web applications. It covers a widerange of capabilities and while it is appropriate for experienced webdevelopers, even non-technical minded users can easily navigate through thesystem and execute functions such as collaborating data, managing documents andfiles, creating websites, managing social networking solutions, and automatingworkflow.

Major areas that SharePoint deals with are websites,communities, content, search, insights, and composites. The purpose is to give usersthe ability to create or develop these key business components on their owneven without technical knowledge of, for example, how to build a website or howto integrate coding. Configuring SharePoint into a business's system is meantto cut out all of the complicated steps, and pave the way for easierimplementation all around.
