Are these Sharepoint capabilities available in Alfresco?

[burton]

I'm looking for a Sharepoint alternative. We currently rely on it for a limited number of features, and I am trying to find out if Alfresco has these features. I've been browsing the Alfresco site for a while and it's actually pretty hard to get a sense of its feature set. Here's what I need it to do:

-Document sharing and management (I know Alfresco has this)
-Let users populate a database through a front-end interface, similar to Sharepoint's List tool
-Let users create graphic reports based on that data
-Let users create chat rooms for groups of people

I imagine all of these capabilities are at least possible through custom add-ons, but given our situation, I would need them out-of-the-box or with an instantly available add-on. It'd be really helpful if I could see these in action as well.

Thanks for any insight you can provide…

You can the Alfresco Share.

Hello,
we are looking too to a Sharepoint alternative, and one of the most needed feature for us is the custom lists and views, that I must say in Sharepoint are very advanced.
As already said discussions and sharing are well supported trough Alfresco Share.

I have played a bit with the dynamic lists of Alfresco Share but found out that they are very limited: from what I have seen it's not possible to create customized views (like Calendar, etc) or reports out-of-the-box. Even the creation of the lists itself involves the editing of an xml file (correct me if I'm wrong).

Is there a plug-in or add-on that offers that functionalities and permits the non-tech people of my society to use and create dynamic lists as well?

It looks like the new Datalists feature is an attempt to duplicate the SharePoint Lists tool, but it appears I have to choose from a few pre-built list types instead of being able to truly create my own list with custom fields. Is that correct?

No.   Those are just examples.

No. Those are just examples.

Can I see a custom list in action, then?
