Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well.""This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."

More Oracle Beehive Pros →

"Tech support tops off as excellent.""Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices.""It allows for simultaneous users to be on it.""The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically.""It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems.""The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit.""Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform.""There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."

Cons
"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."

More Oracle Beehive Cons →

"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason.""We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information.""Make it more 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.​""The integration with Outlook could be improved.""Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint.""The initial setup was very complex.""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."

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.

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.
