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

"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"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."
"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."
"This program has made it possible for our company to advertise all around the country, instead of keeping it local."
"It is a stable system which offers a wide variety of themes and templates."
"I like the tool's plugins."
"There are so many free plugins"
"Good for rapidly turning around all the elements required for online sales funnels."
"As WordPress is such a popular product, there are many designers and developers available to work on projects."
"The best feature in WordPress is Elementor. It lets you easily create one-page landing sites."
"We use WordPress on two different websites and it solves all of our website issues."
 

Cons

"The solution should improve its integration with other project management tools."
"It will fully use your system resources."
"The navigation is confusing."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"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."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"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."
"WordPress needs to improve its usability."
"Backups and moving sites could be handled better."
"The backend development process needs improvement."
"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."
"It could be a little bit easier to use."
"WordPress sites do require quite a bit of maintenance: Constant updates to both WordPress and all the various plugins that it requires."
"I would like to see a new UI."

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…
