Anyone used an internal Portal software (intranet) other than Microsoft SharePoint? I am looking for options for a multi-national company with different languages and sites. Or is SharePoint still the best choice to use?

We already have a SharePoint 2007 intranet but it is pretty old. There is a lot of custom code e.g. links to external data sources (financial, KPI), HR details (up to date directory of companies, locations, staff), reports, company news etc.

People use it quite a lot but I've been in similar companies with more of a community feel e.g. a trade-it style part as we are in multiple countries and people move and sell stuff.

Simplest solution is move to SharePoint 2013/2016 cloud or on-premises, but just wondering if there is any other cheaper solutions or is SharePoint still the best.

Mainly we are using WSS 3.0 (Free version of SharePoint 2007) which is our only server application that we can't move off Windows Server 2003 and onto Server 2012 R2. It also doesn't work that well in modern browsers and would be nice to use SharePoint 2013/2016 that uses much HTML5 and better WYSIWYG editing.

Sharepoint was going out of fashion in 2010. Dislike it and never seen it as a benefit, other solutions available these days with ready to go plugins
Which other solutions do you recommend?
