Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I use the solution for messaging and chatting.""Valuable screen sharing feature.""We didn't face any problems with the product's scalability. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Managing meeting on Microsoft Teams is better than managing traditional face to face meetings.""I like the solution's chat and meeting feature. We have different teams and the product helps us to communicate fastly. Within five minutes all the teams can be on the same page.""I find the ability to maintain group and conference information for project-related work useful.""It allows us to invite members to attend the meeting efficiently.""Sharing screens is valuable."

"It improved transparency around work products.""For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them.""There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together.""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.""SharePoint is easy to collaborate with.""The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution.""Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS.""It has made us faster and more efficient."

Cons
"What I'd like to improve in Microsoft Teams are the calendar management and task management tools, because they're not easy to use. They're not user-friendly.""The solution needs to be more stable. I have found Zoom to be more stable than Teams.""It may be a little daunting to learn and is still a tool in development.""The remote control needs some improvement.""The product is not fully integrated in Brazil.""The product should improve its security aspect, scalability, stability, and screen recording. It would be nice if Teams could come up with a feature where I can write chats and send them as mail. It would be also good if Teams could be connected to our application software so that for any doubts that can occur during the training, the operator can resolve them through chats. Hence, they can easily guide and close the issue.""The application's user interface on Google has shortcomings that need to be improved.""The user interface is non-intuitive and should be improved."

More Microsoft Teams Cons →

"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format.""The workflow engine cannot support the business needs.""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.""It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI.""It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family.""Replication needs improvement.""I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools.""No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."

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 →
