Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Wordpress, Adobe and others in Web Content Management."We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"It is good for big projects."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"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."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"The product must provide more automation."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"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."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"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."
