What are SharePoints Competitor Products

Overview:  SharePoint does not stack up against any single COTS product easily due to the size and functionality offered.  This post is my opinion, and I am not an expert in any of the competing products.

A few years back I wrote a post that is still somewhat relevant form SP 2010 competitors.

This post aims to list competitor products in a broad sense and tries to highlight the areas that where the product and SharePoint perform a similar function.

• Atlassian Confluence
• Alfresco
• Documentum
• eRooms
• Lotus Notes
• Igloo - http://www.igloosoftware.com/
• EMC’s Center Stage
• Google docs
• Slack - Very similar to Teams from MS
• ClickUp - project management but has chat, stores docs, calendars, time tracking, links, similar to MS Teams and Slack but from a project management focus. Update: 25/06/2022

Beehive from Oracle lines up to Lync, Exchange/Outlook and SharePoint
OpenText, lines up some of SP's functionality such as blogs, Wikis and document collaboration.

Search competitors:

• Endeca (Oracle)

If anyone has further information, please reply as this is not an exhaustive set of lists.  My experience with rival products is relatively limited.
