Daisy is very good

• Search functions (contacts, expertise, documents, discussions,

Can search documents that are in the CMS, including the contents of pdf's
etc. Searching email's seems outside the scope of a CMS.


• Document management (incl. online document editing, bulk document upload)


Has access controls and versioned documents, and an api for bulk migration
of content

• Security management, Shared application editing, Integrated e-mail,

Doesn't really have any of this, although you can write modules for it.
Might be an idea to consider separate apps for forums, webmail and CMS
