Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data.""It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."

More Mobius Content Services Platform Pros →

"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits.""The initial setup is easy.""The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities.""The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows.""The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit.""There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together.""The search feature is valuable.""Its functionality is enormous."

Cons
"Sales and service need to be more consistent.""The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."

More Mobius Content Services Platform Cons →

"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository.""The solution lacks collaboration features.""Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning.""Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA.""The product must provide more automation.""Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users.""There are some limitations on storage.""It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."

  • "The data classification and search elements are cheap."
  • "The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."

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.
