Concrete5 vs MS SharePoint

• Concrete5 provides a very easy interface for website owners/administrators. Adding pages and content is simple and straightforward.
• Concrete5.7+ works well on mobile devices such as phones and tablets - including admin editing tools.
• Concrete5 has a good user community and support forums, as well as paid add-ons which provide advanced functionality which other open-source CMSs can lack.

• With MS Sharepoint you can share (in my case) projects, initiative trackers, with ID and the information I need to start my developing.
• It offers cloud acaccessibility, so you do not need to maintain your documents on your hard drive.
• It allows Office 365 integration, which for me is really great. Using MS Excel and MS Sharepoint.

• Concrete5 uses Bootstrap in their UI so when developing themes that may also use Bootstrap there can be conflicts using the same classes. This has been solved somewhat in 5.7, however, by use of namespacing.
• Concrete5's MVC structure is great in how easy you can override blocks. However, if you go nuts you can quickly rack up an obscene amount of stylesheet and "is" calls in the head of the document which can hurt performance.
• It's been criticized for having a rather large amount of files, which can be a problem on cheaper shared hosting, but I can't speak to that personally. We've never had a problem.

• SharePoint sometimes has a challenge with the Share feature in Office 365. Traditional best practices are to govern collaboration with permissions groups and manage access at the group level. Share can sometimes undermine that by creating ad-hoc situations unintentionally.
• SharePoint's success in many organizations is really a function of user adoption and training. It is such a large platform that it is often deployed without much governance or direction.
• SharePoint's lists and libraries can leverage Excel services and like-kind tools, but the ability for a list to do math in the same way that Excel does is very limited. It still has a room for improvement in the business intelligence features of metadata management.

• We moved from DocuShare to MS SharePoint and it's been proven very effective.
• Using MS SharePoint has provided immediate access to documents to staff where in the past, they would have to wait for an admin staff to forward to them.
• It has been a positive impact for our organization - our newer staff has really benefited from MS SharePoint.
