How does KARL compare with SharePoint and Ning?
KARL is often compared to other collaboration solutions such as Ning and SharePoint. While there are many similar features available in each platform, there are also some differences. The primary aim of Ning is to allow users to build their own social network. KARL differs in the sense that it is an enterprise-level knowledge management system with well integrated features and robust security. The primary strengths of SharePoint are its document management and enterprise search features. The collaboration features of SharePoint are less flexible to end users. As an open source solution, KARL offers many of the same features as SharePoint, but at a much lower overall cost.
