The new releases incorporate significant advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and language processing capabilities
Version control interface is very good. The new releases of DocuShare incorporate significant advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and language processing capabilities. For instance, when you upload a document into DocuShare, you no longer need to set up templates to identify and extract important fields. The system automatically reads the document and identifies key information. For example, in a contract document between two entities, it can recognize the contract start date, end date, reference number, and other relevant details without manual intervention. This automated process streamlines document management. You should know your requirements and understand your environment, as well as the goals you want to achieve. Try out the demo first to see if it fits your needs and objectives before making a decision. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The software development kit can be customized."
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"SharePoint is smooth and easy to use for editing, updating, and uploading files."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"SharePoint manages version control, which makes it easier to track and amend documentation accurately, maintaining document integrity and enabling quick recovery if necessary."
"The stability of SharePoint is high."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"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."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The pricing works for us."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"It is very expensive.​"
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."

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…
