Competitors to Sharepoint Portal

  Asked By: Evelyn Little         Date: Sep 17, 2006      Category: Sharepoint      Views: 2509
 

Can someone tell me what they consider the top 2 or 3 competitors to
Sharepoint Portal server. Specifically products that are good at
document and image management and meeting workspaces. I have been
told that Plumbtree might be one. I want to do a comparison of the
competition to show why Portal is the best!

I have no experience with any of these products  other than SharePoint,
but there is a report from Gartner Group that lists products from IBM,
Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, BEA Systems, Plumtree, Sun Microsystems, and
Vignette among the leaders in horizontal portal  products.

For more information and to download the report, see

i prefer the open source stuff to sharepoint  personally but since
there is no "office integration" they opt for sharepoint.

if you go to freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net and search terms like
CMS or Portal, you will find a ton of web based collaboration
software. the only other issue with open source is that it might
take multiple projects to get the same featureset as something like
the ones that ben mentioned.

i have heard good  things about plumtree, as for webfear.. very good
toolset based on open standards but not much of a product out of the
box compared to sps.

My understanding is that DotNetNuke and IBM WebSphere are the only other
"portals" still gaining ground. All other competitors are loosing market
share.

It is my opinion nearly every shop running Office will be running
SharePoint to some extent within the next three years. Microsoft will
dominate this market because no one can easily compete with WSS. The
combination of free and integrated into Windows and Office is quite
compelling. portal  will have competitors for specific features: Search,
SSO, ECM, etc.
