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.

It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"Using the workflow as an example, it has helped to transform the conventional paperwork processes into digitized and faster processes."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities, cyclically keeps tabs on work and to what extent it has progressed, and shows where it is stuck, which is really very helpful."
"We have generated a true document ID card, and metadata is easy to index in the research engine."
"It helped us manage our documents and records effectively and at a reasonable cost."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"It has helped us collapse all our versions into a single file."
"For all-around capabilities that include not just document management, workflows, calendar, task management, blogging, calendars and overall business process management, we deemed SharePoint as the best overall."
"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."
"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."
"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"
"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."
"The community is enormous and everyone is very helpful, and other people have problems already solved."
"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."
 

Cons

"Document libraries and document management could be improved."
"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases."
"For example, if you installed SharePoint on a virtual machine with dynamic memory, it could destroy the farm without any possibility of repairing it."
"I would love to see a more robust workflow."
"Stability, even after deployment three months ago, still seems to be an issue."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"The user profile synchronization feature is cumbersome to configure and at least initially had some stability issues."
"Well, for SharePoint Online, the add-on features which are free tend to expire within a month or earlier."
"As website content and number of visits grow, one does recognize scalability issues for websites on shared hosting."
"The code behind a WP theme is not easy to modify in case you need additional features not provided by the theme."
"Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented."
"No option to monetize the website (Affiliated links or Advertisements)."
"We are facing issues with outdated plugins and shared hosting security issues, only if WordPress is implemented in dedicated environment it is highly secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The pricing is competitive."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"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."

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…
