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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For one implementation, the full-text indexing of PDF documents and associated search were the most valuable features."
"Features such as the search engine, workflows and customization are valuable to us."
"The software development kit can be customized."
"Most of our customers experienced a stellar improvement in productivity, as documents are now centralized and user access levels are deployed to prevent users from opening and downloading confidential information."
"Outstanding support on SharePoint, in particular from Microsoft."
"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."
"It is a good tool that makes managing projects and teams much easier, with all documents and calendars in one central location."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"It's very easy to integrate with other software from Microsoft; it works fine with Excel, Word, email, and similar tools, which I find valuable."
"When properly implemented and users are adequately trained, SharePoint can take the place of network file shares for most types of use cases."
"A central repository for artifacts, and planning for corporate projects."
"SharePoint is better than Google Pages due to the maturity of the content I can create, the way I can store assets, and the way I can consume them."
 

Cons

"Technical Support is nonexistent if your licenses have gone beyond the one-year support program."
"Reports and integration with third-party applications can be improved."
"The user interface could be improved."
"We had some small issues and called MS tech support, but they were only able to help us 60% of the time before we fixed it ourselves."
"SharePoint has workflow built into the software however it is very simplistic."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"Improve the user-friendliness. Make it more intuitive."
"It does too many things and some of them seem impossible to set up."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products."
"Performance: The web page was sometimes not as fast as we'd like to see."
"I would love to see a more robust workflow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The pricing works for us."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"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."
"The pricing is competitive."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."

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…
