Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We like it because it makes it easy to communicate, chat, make video calls, and schedule meetings with people.""The solution is relatively stable.""The product is continually growing to add new features and functionality.""Microsoft Teams is much easier to collaborate, and its meetings are quite easy to explain things.""Integration with document management capabilities and video conferencing.""The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot.""It's great for meetings and even hybrid classes, for example, where the teacher has students attending in person and online at the same time. It's really convenient for that too, and I like that you can easily share presentations.""I find the ability to maintain group and conference information for project-related work useful."

"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform.""The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows.""Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system.""The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great.""​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking.""The product provides flexibility in collaboration.""Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS.""The security feature is valuable."

Cons
"The solution should improve its user interface and recording features.""I think they can improve the all those segments for channel bulking. Also, some functionalities which migrated from Skype for Business to Teams, is not supported by Teams. We had used them in Skype for Business.""The desktop and mobile apps are quite different.""Microsoft Teams withdrew the Wiki function, which was quite a good and useful feature.""The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally.""It could be improved if it was easier to use and the interface was revamped.""There are a lot of frequent updates, which is a shortcoming of the tool.""They should include AI features in the solution."

More Microsoft Teams Cons →

"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve.""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 initial setup process is not intuitive.""​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.​""Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases.""I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities.""The integration with Outlook could be improved.""​Improve the user-friendliness."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is free to a threshold and then after that you have to license per user."
  • "It is the standard license which is part of many Office packets."
  • "We are satisfied with the price of this solution."
  • "If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
  • "If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
  • "The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
  • "My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
  • "It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
  • More Microsoft Teams Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "Licensing can be by server or by seat."
  • "It is very expensive.​"
  • "The data classification and search elements are cheap."
  • "The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
  • "We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
  • "The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
  • "The pricing works for us."

    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 round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →
