Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"It is stable."
"The integration with other applications is pretty good."
"Adaptable solution with a good interface. It's easy to set up and easy to use."
"We use it for documentation management, to collaborate with Microsoft Teams, web calls, web conference calls, chats, and as a documentation repository mainly. We have an Office pack suite to be able to write documentation, make spreadsheets, and create PowerPoints."
"OneNote is the feature I use the most. We also frequently use the Power Apps features."
"Reliable without any glitches."
"The product helps us be more efficient. It helps us to have a standardized way of doing things."
"There's a lot there in terms of apps and features."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"The plugins should be more affordable."
"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"It could be improved in terms of adding filters to some of the rules. Therefore, you can retain how long a document would need to stay in an archive."
"Performance-wise, Office 365 needs a lot of bandwidth. The problem is, the solution requires very high bandwidth and internet usage. Meaning, the desktop application consumes a lot of internet data. Sometimes, when the connection is slow, it won't work and it won't load. This is an area for improvement for Office 365."
"We have found that, with Teams, if you are including one more person who is not in the company ecosystem, supposedly I'm inviting them as a guest in the chat. However, when I do that, I can't share files."
"It needs improvements around its compatibility with non-Microsoft products."
"Sometimes the configurations of the error troubleshooting are pretty problematic and there are a lot of issues that happen even if you follow the step-by-step guides. They can work on fixing this issue. If there are a lot of issues in your Windows or your Office or anything, you restart your PC and it works. They need to get rid of this need."
"There are several additional features we would like to see, such as advanced features of SAN protection in Office 365. The main thing is the SAN protection; we would like to see a lot of advanced features added because we had a lot of spam attacks."
"Office 365 could be easier to use at first. Tutorials are needed to know how to use the solution."
"I started working a lot on Microsoft Teams and I find it a bit vast. It should be divided out a bit so that someone can use it for basic functionality, like audio, video, and calls. Then, if someone wants more advanced functionality for file sharing and team creation, and so on, they could use a separate app."
"I would like to see better integration with Teams, and better usability with SharePoint."
