Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"The search feature is valuable."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"Information is much more readily available."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
 

Cons

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"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."
"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."
"​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.​"
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is very expensive.​"
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The pricing works for us."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The pricing is competitive."

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…
