Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Powerful data model building enables comprehensive document management for government sectors
The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers. The resources on Hyland are good but lack exercises and use cases to apply by oneself during learning. There is not much practice to apply that knowledge directly on Nuxeo and get further details into the platform.

Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured
SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nuxeo content management engine is powerful and can be adjusted to any need (user interface, document types, automations, workflows)."
"Nuxeo is very powerful in terms of building up the data model and the context model."
"We have taken advantage of the list features extensively and the ability to clone subsites, and the creation of lists and the ability to tie lists together has made my job and other different department’s jobs easier."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"Regarding the best features in SharePoint, the accessibility part of it is great; we don't need to do the coding from zero scratch, which we really appreciate."
"SharePoint has streamlined our documentation management process by allowing us to automate several functions."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"Sharing information is very easy in SharePoint. We use multiple types of documents, like online Excel tools and online content editing, especially for group editing. This allows us to collaborate, even in distributed teams. Despite being geographically spread out, everyone can access the same files online, edit them, and see changes. We also use SharePoint to track all these changes, making our teamwork more collaborative overall. The tool fastens information sharing and collaboration."
"The most valuable facet of SharePoint is the content, the ideas, all the information, all in one content management system."
 

Cons

"The learning curve in Nuxeo is not easy, and it requires additional time. It's challenging to onboard new users or new developers."
"Pricing is too high. Nuxeo Studio has a fixed price, no matter the number of active users is."
"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."
"Technical support is bad, as the support is for all other Microsoft products."
"For the functionality you get at this price point, it leaves a lot to be desired."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"Mobile rendering is not up to the mark."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"Almost all of the areas of the product have room for improvement; some more than others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

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…
