Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Wordpress, Adobe and others in Web Content Management."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."
"One of the most robust, stable, secure, feature-rich CMSs on the market."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"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."
"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."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem."
