Sitecore vs. Sharepoint
Just read a really good series of posts from Julius Ganns in Germany. The series is a developer-centric view of the differences between Microsot Sharepoint and Sitecore CMS, covering the strengths and weaknesses in the two products.
Although Julius works with netzkern, a German Sitecore partner and training center, the series is fairly objective and I would consider a must-read for all you people in the Sitecore/Sharepoint community interested in where Sitecore/Sharepoint can help you.
You can find the series here.
Good work Julius – looking forward to the next post.
Hey Thomas,
many thanks for adding a link to my article series!
Best,
Julius

Hi
I have a project for developing a website (aprox. 1000 pages) on the internet and I need to select SiteCore or SharePoint (no experience on both) . I’m interested on SiteCore I went through the demos and SDN, from your experience how long (time frame) to develop my site on SiteCore compared to SharePoint?
Sitecore CMS is a true Web Content Management system, and has forces in flexibility, integration and usability. I would highly recommend choosing Sitecore if your site is a internet facing website with relatively few editors.
Sharepoint is a really good collaboration platform and has its forces in data and document management. So if collaboration between many (MANY) editors is an issue, this is a really good platform. I cannot claim to be an expert on Sharepoint, but from what I hear from most developers, Sharepoint has a rather steep learning curve (compare Julius’s posts, e.g. http://jgnk.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!457F4BDBA1A371A5!309.entry), and therefore there is a significant investment in startup. The similar task in Sitecore is nowhere near as frightening, and is really mostly a matter of insight into ASP.NET.
Sorry about the vague reply, but I hope you have something to go on. I’ll be more than happy to look more into your solution – just contact our Pentia Professional Services (http://www.pentia.net/).
Thnaks for the replay, one last question, i was told thata if picked the sharepoint CMS i need my production to have to Sharepoint hosting (MOSS 2007 installed on production!! this means licsense for development and one production. Does sitecore needs the same configration?! can i install sitecore on development do my work then push it to production on regaler Windows2003 server (my production)?
Where can I find trail version of sitecore, nothing on SiteCore website for a trial version?
Do i need to be certified SiteCore Devloper to work on SiteCore?
No – check out http://xpress.sitecore.net/.
But I recommend getting the certification, as it allows you to get support from Sitecore.
