Its nice that Noodle also has some social network parts that our sharepoint didn't have. We only looked a few though, some of the ones mentioned may be good as well.

SharePoint can have a very low entry cost as a workgroup solution, and doesn't have to be expensive even in a large scale environment. I can't imagine how complex a $1M implementation would be, but 5000 user can be supported reliably for much less.

We evaluated Sharepoint and were shocked to discover that an enterprise solution )SW + Implementation) would run us around $1M. Needless to say, in this economy, that's just not going to happen. We began looking at Alfresco four months ago and quickly discovered that their CPU pricing and rich functionality/ extensibility were a good match for us. With the number of enterprises now looking at Open Source as a viable alternative... MS had better go back to the drawing board with their pricing model. Alfresco is another example of high productivity, low cost, OPEN tools that are catching companies like Microsoft and IBM/Lotus off guard...... I couldn't be more pleased with Alfresco's capabilities and open architecture.

even more, with the sharepoint 14 coming up, sharepoint suddenly becomes much more than a document management platform
