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.

Secure collaboration has improved as I create and host protected web assets for my team
It is a little difficult to name the areas for improvements in SharePoint because I don't use it all that much. I know I can host pages on it and feel that the CMS platform, which helps create those pages, can be improved. The interface is not all that great, but other than that, there's not much to say because it's a pretty simple tool and I don't have high expectations for it to improve. The main issue bothering me today is the Content Management System, which is basically the interface through which I can create the landing page. The design and the way to incorporate things could be better because there are better content management platforms available right now. Even newer platforms like WordPress are better, so I think SharePoint can improve on that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"Kentico is a very stable and mature system; it's one of the best on the market."
"I would say they have a modern, flexible, agile content management system."
"It has helped us establish our business in the USA and allows us to work with a range of corporate clients."
"Improved collaboration through multi-user document editing capabilities."
"It is a good tool that makes managing projects and teams much easier, with all documents and calendars in one central location."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"It is a good solution for the enterprise level."
"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."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"SharePoint provides enterprise content management, which includes the enterprise document management tools, and collaboration tools such as workspaces and team sites improve the productivity and increase collaboration."
"I find that SharePoint when used for the right purpose, lends itself to be a fantastic collaboration and workflow service."
 

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 would like to see improvements in the interface."
"Special implementation and development should be easy."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"The fact that it relies on the Internet and runs in a browser means it is bound to have performance issues."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"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."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The pricing works for us."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The pricing is competitive."
"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…
