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.

Based on my experience, I would recommend WordPress to other people.I would recommend WordPress because it is easy to use and more flexible than a SaaS website such as Wix.I have 10 plus years of experience with WordPress, but we do not implement it. I am an end user and have no relationship with WordPress.I rate WordPress overall a seven.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The search feature is valuable."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"As WordPress is such a popular product, there are many designers and developers available to work on projects."
"The best feature of WordPress is that it provides no-code solutions, enabling us to make anything when we use Elementor."
"I like how it integrates graphics and words, and more generally, the way people can develop the choices of spaces for different websites."
"WordPress offers great flexibility."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its flexibility, ease of working with, intuitive interface, and ease of finding a huge online community, along with its simplicity of integration with other solutions."
"It is easy to edit content using WordPress."
"There are so many free plugins"
"Good for rapidly turning around all the elements required for online sales funnels."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"I have been facing some challenges when using SharePoint, as the workflows freeze at times, so there is a maintenance activity which needs to be done periodically."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"The solution should improve its integration with other project management tools."
"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."
"The backend development process needs improvement."
"In WordPress, the user onboarding process is an area with complexities...there is no step-by-step explanation provided."
"It may be useful to have a downloadable program that you could have on your desktop that allows you to create and maintain the program while offline."
"The system should be more informative."
"Backups and moving sites could be handled better."
"WordPress doesn't automatically scan the website, so we need to install paid plugins for this purpose. Unfortunately, this can lead to slower performance, which is a notable drawback."
"I would recommend dumping the Gutenberg interface, as that is horrible."
"I would like to see the addition of social media integration features in WordPress."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"It provides a high ROI."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money."
"It is an open-source platform. It doesn't need any license."

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…
