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.

It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With accessibility from a DMZ, SharePoint is a good solution for outside access."
"There are a lot of valuable features (e.g., ease of use, collaboration, integration with LDAP, security, accessibility, stability, etc.)."
"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"I think that SharePoint is the best on the market in terms of stability, quality and capability."
"It has improved our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"We use this solution as central repository for all the corporate information systems."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."
"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."
"The community is enormous and everyone is very helpful, and other people have problems already solved."
"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"
"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."
"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."
 

Cons

"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."
"Setup was complex. We needed to design governance and implementation architecture before deployment."
"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"When working on a website with SharePoint Online, not many people can edit simultaneously. If I am editing one section, my colleague cannot edit it at the same time."
"The user profile synchronization feature is cumbersome to configure and at least initially had some stability issues."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"The stability of SharePoint needs improvement, because once you start to get a large amount of data, it becomes very unwieldy, and it takes a long time to index."
"Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented."
"We are facing issues with outdated plugins and shared hosting security issues, only if WordPress is implemented in dedicated environment it is highly secure."
"As website content and number of visits grow, one does recognize scalability issues for websites on shared hosting."
"No option to monetize the website (Affiliated links or Advertisements)."
"The code behind a WP theme is not easy to modify in case you need additional features not provided by the theme."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The platform has medium pricing."

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…
