Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."

More OpenText Vibe Pros →

"It improved transparency around work products.""The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory.""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.""OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information.""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 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.""It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs.""The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."

Cons
"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."

More OpenText Vibe Cons →

"Using SharePoint is difficult.""The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control.""Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved.""Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents.""During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty.""SharePoint’s scalability could be improved.""We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information.""The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."

    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 round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →
