We performed a comparison between Drupal and SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."
"It is good for big projects."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"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 is a little bit simplified."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"The product must provide more automation."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"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."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"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 is complex and has room for improvement."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
