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

"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution.""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.""Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices.""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.""SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously.""The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows.""Its functionality is enormous.""The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."

Cons
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful.""It is a little bit simplified.""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."

More Drupal Cons →

"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.""Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved.""The workflow engine cannot support the business needs.""Replication needs improvement.""The limitations and boundaries must be extended.""Using SharePoint is difficult.""Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format.""The management of the product/back-end is complex."
