Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Using M-Files means anybody on the executive team to go in and immediately look at a dashboard and know the status of a contract."

More M-Files Pros →

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""Integration within the solution is very good."

More Oracle WebCenter Pros →

"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it.""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 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.""Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system.""The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing.""We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform.""It improved transparency around work products.""SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."

More SharePoint Pros →

Cons
"The integration with other products needs to be improved."

More M-Files Cons →

"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product.""Its functions need more stability.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

More Oracle WebCenter Cons →

"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning.""There are some limitations on storage.""The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control.""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 management of the product/back-end is complex.""The workflow engine cannot support the business needs.""I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools.""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."

  • "Licensing can be by server or by seat."
  • "It is very expensive.​"
  • "The data classification and search elements are cheap."
  • "The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."

    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 →
