We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can build websites on it very quickly.""We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution.""The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS.""It is good for big projects."

"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats.""The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues.""The most valuable feature is the management.""It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so.""It is quite good.""Two things are excellent in Documentum. One is business process management. The other is its support for metadata.""The most valuable feature is that it's a central repository for everything, whether it's videos, documents, Excel sheets, etc.""The stability is very good."

Cons
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems.""The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful.""It is a little bit simplified.""Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."

More Drupal Cons →

"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it.""In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good.""OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum.""The documentation often leaves customers feeling somewhat frustrated, as OpenText seems to expect customers to remind them constantly about the need for better documentation, as they don't provide clear guidance on their documentation practices.""The vertical application could be improved.""They should develop something so that bugs don't happen in our project. We make changes manually and some bugs happen."

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 →
