“This definitely provides an alternative for those organizations looking for basic content services a la SharePoint in a non Microsoft or mixed server OS, database and browser environments.”
Kathleen Reidy, The 451 Group (July’08)
"...this release has appeal beyond the open source community, for the simple fact that by using the Alfresco alternative you are not locked into the Microsoft stack.
Alan Pelz-Sharpe, CMSWatch
“Alfresco Labs 3 is a good example of how an existing server-based product can be extended to support functions previously only provided by SharePoint ... Alfresco Surf is an intriguing collaborative workspace and is worth a look.”
"This seems like a dream come true for those in the open source community that are demanding an open, yet compatible alternative to Microsoft’s flagship collaboration product."
Marisa Peacock, CMS Wire.
"Because the SharePoint UI is built into Office 2007, users get the same functionality without Microsoft's backend SharePoint infrastructure. Instead, companies can use the Alfresco software and a variety of OS and database platforms."
Andrew Conry-Murray, Information Week.
"When you install SharePoint, you must also install Microsoft SQL Server, even if your standard database is Oracle or DB2 or MySQL, and you must install it on Microsoft Server 2003 or 2008. When you use a SharePoint site, you must also use Microsoft Internet Explorer to be able to access its full functionality, even if your standard desktop is a Macintosh or your standard browser is Firefox. Alfresco removes those restrictions, as well as being open source."
"Will an open source ECM be able to challenge Microsoft in the marketplace? Only a little. But for many customers a little can go a long way."
Dana Blankenhorn, ZDNet.
"I'm a fan of SharePoint and the collaboration it enables. This looks like a good move from Alfresco and lets hope the EU's two-fisted stance toward Microsoft results in more of this kind of sharing."
Sam Dean, OStatic.
"Sound too good to be true? It's not ... What [Alfresco] has done is beat Microsoft at its own game by leaving the same Sharepoint menus in Office that users are used to seeing. To the end user, it’s completely transparent … but at the back end, the content is being stored in an Alfresco content repository, rather than Sharepoint. Meanwhile IT can work in whatever systems it likes ... "
