    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.

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.

    Overview

    Chatter is a part of the sales cloud service that SalesForce1 provides for businesses looking to optimize their efficiency by transferring most or all of their data onto a cloud server. Chatter is the social media platform aspect of this service. It has many functions, including the capability to post comments as status updates for others to view, a news feed to receive these updates immediately, user profiles, and groups.

    Chatter is used widely to cut out the kind of inefficiencies that come from having a sprawling network of team members and locations for data that frequently never come together despite the fact that they are a9ll needed for the same project. With this service, team members are able to share,collaborate, and discuss ideas about their project, tweak each others progress, and create a more productive work force overall.

    SharePoint is a Microsoft-based platform for building web applications. It covers a widerange of capabilities and while it is appropriate for experienced webdevelopers, even non-technical minded users can easily navigate through thesystem and execute functions such as collaborating data, managing documents andfiles, creating websites, managing social networking solutions, and automatingworkflow.

    Major areas that SharePoint deals with are websites,communities, content, search, insights, and composites. The purpose is to give usersthe ability to create or develop these key business components on their owneven without technical knowledge of, for example, how to build a website or howto integrate coding. Configuring SharePoint into a business's system is meantto cut out all of the complicated steps, and pave the way for easierimplementation all around.

    Facebook Workplace is a dedicated and secure space for companies to connect, communicate and collaborate. Organizations of all sizes can use familiar Facebook features such as News Feed, groups, messages and events to get things done.
