Improving data accessibility and security through enhanced interface design
In my current role, we use Mobius to capture data. We are partnered with the government, and the Mobius app is used to ensure accurate data capture. We use it alongside Salesforce to document our clients' entire process as they go through programs, capturing details of their work journey Mobius…

Streamlined collaboration through seamless integration and customization
I have been an administrator for SharePoint and have used it as an end-user for document storage. Predominantly, I've been involved in administration SharePoint helps a lot since we've moved from using it directly to using it as a backend for Teams, which makes collaboration easier. It supports…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."
"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"The search functionality could be improved, especially when dealing with 'lift' lists, where there are performance issues."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"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."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."

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…
