Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Wordpress, Adobe and others in Web Content Management."One of the most robust, stable, secure, feature-rich CMSs on the market."
"The speed in which you can take a CMS and make it a full-blown shopping cart with analytics tracking, SEO, user accounts, security, and ease of use through a robust framework of modules and plugins to enhance and promote-related content is about as turnkey as it gets with Joomla."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"The search feature is valuable."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"I would like to see the same sorting and attributes available through the web browser on the JED (sorting by free or commercial license, sort by rating, popularity, etc.) within the back-end Joomla Web Installer when browsing extensions."
"I would like to see more back-end admin power pulled into the front-end, therefore the admins will not have to use the back-end as much, especially for the menu manager, user manager, etc. versus using third-party extensions to achieve this."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"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."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
