Sr. Manager of Culinary Innovation Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft SharePoint - the best repository for teams (big & small)" November 18, 2021 5.0 Pros Since most people understand how to use Microsoft in some way, this is a no-brainer. The system allows you to house a variety of file types in one place and allows you to restrict access to many users (by username & credentials). This lets you share content with many people while still remaining in control of that content. It can be accessed via many device types and on the go. It's super versatile for project management and change management. Cons There really isn't a down-side to this for business. Microsoft Office products are ingrained everywhere and this is another tool to help manage the capabilities of all those Office products in one place. If anything, the only con is setting up the access rights and making sure the credentials are recognized across your system. Review Source Zamruddin S. IT Trainer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Share Point is one of the best tool for Data Management" February 27, 2022 5.0 I think the best tool for any organization where lot's of data is managed by humans that differently needs to switch to SharePoint and make data safe and it's easily accessed by any place where we want to access it. Pros I am using SharePoint for all most 3 years, and it's a great tool for managing all the data. In fact, my organization's data is also managed in SharePoint. Some of the great feature that I like most is my data is stored in the cloud we can easily access it from smartphones and laptops or desktops. And we can do real-time work on the same file using SharePoint. It also fixes a is an issue in my organization we don't need to send a file multiple times and rework again and again work on the single file. We can integrate SharePoint with our MS Teams and we can easily work on a file going on the browser and our data is automatic on SharePoint. That is a great feature of SharePoint. we can easily integrate SharePoint with any other Microsoft office software as well. Cons I don't think any cons to this tool. That saves us lots of time for managing and storing data. Review Source CS Chirag S. CITO Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great collaboration with SharePoint; don't go overboard" April 7, 2021 4.0 Since we were strict with our permissions and governance, we had the fortune of having a clean environment. In my past jobs, SharePoint was free for all and it used to be an absolutely disaster. Based on those learnings, we have chosen to use SharePoint only for collaboration. Anything more complex than taking notes, sharing documents, versioning and Visio is moved out of SharePoint. In the first year of use, people became comfortable with our limited and right-sized use of SharePoint. That's our sweet spot and we enjoy SharePoint for collaboration. Pros I love that SharePoint makes collaboration easy. We used to take notes on pen and paper and reconcile our thoughts via emails. Now, we whip up OneNote online and write our notes before the meeting, discuss our thoughts in the meeting and write take-aways in OneNote. Decisioning has become really easy. We also share news across the company using SharePoint. That has worked very well. Cons Workflows and debugging is not the best in SharePoint. We have been bit by gotchas in workflows. They were had to debug. We just gave up on workflows in SharePoint and switched to doing those activities in a different manner. Alternatives considered [Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) Reason for choosing Microsoft SharePoint We were debating whether to do documentation in SharePoint or Confluence. We use Jira, which connects with Confluence very well. We noticed that our documentation will need AD permissions, documents, versioning, videos and more - all of which was built right into SharePoint the way we were using it. There was no point in investing thousands of dollars in another system just for documentation. We feel we made the right decision as SharePoint is working really well for us for documentation.

Paralegal Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's invaluable " May 2, 2024 3.0 Microsoft SharePoint is integrates with Microsoft 356 which eases documents sharing with teammates. Pros Microsoft SharePoint is invaluable software which is easy to use in documents management, it organize files and easy to send documents to teammates. Cons Microsoft SharePoint is simplifies document sharing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Technical and Business Advisor Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft Sharepoint is the best collaborative and document management tool " February 14, 2022 5.0 It has been an enriching experience to collaborate using Sharepoint. Pros Real time collaboration is the best attribute of using this software. It is intuitive to use and fairly easy to master within 15 min. Cons The integration of various Microsoft products make it a very valuable tool. Honestly, I can’t find any thing that I dont like about the product. Review Source SV Shikha V. HR Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Proficient tool for storing and sharing the documents" April 3, 2019 4.0 My overall experience with Microsoft has been good so far. I am sure there is still so much to learn about this application and I am still discovering new things occasionally. It is suitable if you are looking to create a cloud-based repository of documents and it works efficiently if the IT support team of your company set it up perfectly and they keep updating it steadily. Pros SharePoint is the cloud-based tool, which facilitates the storage, sharing, accessing, and managing the files from any location/device using centralized location link. It is a flexible platform and can be implemented and managed in the way you like it. We have been using this software in our company for almost 3 years now and it is extremely compatible with our needs. It helps in creating a common repository of documents, which can be accessed by multiple users/devices. It works well within groups where the permission to access, edit is given by the primary user. It is one of the best software to manage the confidential information in a controlled and restrictive way. There is an option to chat within the group as well. All files can be added to library by simple step of drag and drop. It has abundant features to choose from and you can tailor them as per your business needs. Since it is cloud based, it provides inter and intra-departmental cooperation creating a perfect collaborative environment for a small organization. Cons One has to be experienced with Microsoft products in order to run this smoothly else, it could be little complicated to learn in the initiate phase. Secondly, it could be expensive than the other products in the market however it provides good features but if you are looking for economical solution, you should research more before buying this. If someone authorized edits something in a document, it becomes difficult to locate where the correction has been made. Though it shows the real-time notification I someone is editing but if you try to locate for the past corrections, it is not easy to find out.

Especialista em Inteligência de Mercado Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ferramenta segura para compartilhar informações" September 22, 2022 5.0 Utilizamos o Sharepoint principalmente para compartilhar informações de forma segura e restrita com nossos colaboradores. O sharepoint facilita a comunicação da empresa e sustenta um fluxo contínuo de diálogo na empresa. Essencial para nossa intranet! Pros O Sharepoint já vem integrado com as outras ferramentas da Microsoft, o que facilita muito no report de informações. É uma plataforma segura e privada de envio de informações, compartilhamento de conteúdo e treinamentos. Hoje o Sharepoint é a ferramenta que sustenta nossa intranet, garantimos que todos da empresa tenham acesso a informações e que se comuniquem também em equipes. Cons O Sharepoint pode ser um pouco complicado para os administradores que não possuem tantas habilidades tecnológicas. Review Source MD Matt D. Marketing Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SharePoint for your content management needs" May 3, 2024 5.0 Pros Microsoft SharePoint is widely recognized as a powerful and versatile platform for creating and managing intranet sites. It offers a user-friendly interface, customizable features, and seamless integration with other Microsoft tools. SharePoint allows for easy collaboration, document management, and communication within an organization. With its intuitive design and extensive capabilities, Microsoft SharePoint is generally considered to be a user-friendly solution for intranet purposes. Cons Document upload and library can be a little laborious. Review Source Mandeep J. Associate Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SharePoint is the best web based intranet software to streamline the management of the data and info" November 12, 2018 4.0 I have been using this software for information sharing and accessing within my organisation and I can say it's one of the best online web-based tool for sharing record and information and that too very securely. Definitely one of the best software for intranet web based information sharing. Pros Microsoft SharePoint is the best software for sharing of documentation and information witin an organization. This software given best control to the owners to enable controlled and restricted access to the information for the targetted users. This helps users to access the information remotely from any location using centralized location link using web browser hence the companies can place the data securely at a centralized location even with password protection and let their employees to access the information virtually from any location using the link or url to access the information. Users can also edit or create new information on the portal using certain credentials provided as per the organizational chart. This also helps companies to distribute the important bulletin without being any need to distribute that locally to the employees. It's one of the best software for such controlled and restricted access to the information and valuable data. Cons Though it is very effective tool for management of information Sharing within an organization but it require some experience to set the checkpoints to enable the restricted access to the information to a certain group of peoples such as password protection, applying some read only checks and other restrictions that can be implemented. Review Source EH Eric H. General Manager - Group Finance Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Allowing SMEs to Function in the Cloud" January 25, 2022 4.0 Very positive experience. Pros SharePoint functions very well as a document storage and collaboration tool with many additional features and add-ons that allow for even more collaboration and data capture. The security and audit trail features add a sense of security. Cons There are some nuances to SharePoint that can make it difficult to accomplish what you wish and can lead to some frustration or data loss if the users are new to the tool. Some basic training goes a long way. Review Source Gabriel B. SAP Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A flexible collaboration tool" April 18, 2022 4.0 Pros As a manager in a technology company, there is often the need to generate simple systems that will allow to capture information, process it and trigger actions from it. I loathe the use of Microsoft Excel for this type of collaboration, which is often the solution in a lot of companies. I've found the use of lists and forms to be a powerful tool to create simple applications. And even better, it is basically "free" as it is included with the Microsoft suite. You can request a full fledged Sharepoint site, but the version generated by creating a Microsoft Teams is often enough. It integrates nicely with other Microsoft tools, such as Power Automate, Power Apps and Power BI. By doing a set of custom developments, I've been able to have people collaborate and accurately get real time reports from that information. Cons It has a steep learning curve. Creating lists is trivial, but to extract information from that can get complicated if you are not using other Microsoft products for the integration. If you use a Microsoft Teams Sharepoint site, the permission administration is very poor. You have to either keep the Teams auto generated permissions (just Owner and Member groups) or lose that link and go to full Sharepoint permissions, which involves a little more expertise. Managing advanced permissions and having them stayed linked with Teams would be nice. Review Source ZE Ziad E. IT Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SharePoint a great tool for business automation" December 3, 2021 5.0 Great experience since we are benefiting from SharePoint's rich features through our internal portal Pros Its Workflows system as well as the nice business portal you can create via this software Cons The software is not that good for creating folders or subfolders Reason for choosing Microsoft SharePoint Since we are higher educational institution we almost got this great tool for free, thus we did not evaluate other products from different vendors i.e. Google G Suite, Huddle, Basecamp, etc. Review Source SK Seth K. IT Manager Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SharePoint - Great for Microsoft 365" September 19, 2022 4.0 Pros SharePoint is the engine that drives so much of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (Teams, OneDrive, Intranets, etc). If you are a Microsoft-centric business, SharePoint is a key part of collaboration on files, and organization-wide announcements. It's flexible enough to make it suit your needs, whatever they may be. Cons At times SharePoint online can be buggy (but far better than the days of running your own instance of SharePoint on-premise). I'll find myself needing to refresh pages for it to fully load. Sometimes it can be unintuitive where you have to force your browser to keep scrolling to see the full page results. Review Source Duane D. CTO Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great CMS" December 17, 2021 5.0 Pros What I like about SharePoint the most is that a good Dot Net developer can customize it beyond what comes out of the box. Also, depending on your original install, updating, like with all Microsoft products is a breeze. Cons The only bad experience I have had with SharePoint was when trying to migrate from a single box install to a three box one. For best performance SharePoint should use three servers. One for the program and static content, another for the database, and the final one to run an index server. Migrating from a one box solution to a three box one was a nightmare and resource intensive. That was a few years ago, well...more than a few, however. If you have an Enterprise with a 1000 people or less, you could get by with a one box solution with a Intel i9 or Xeon CPU and 64GB of RAM. Reason for choosing Microsoft SharePoint We choose Microsoft SharePoint because we are a Microsoft shop and it's easy to integrate with other Microsoft products if needed. Also, the learning curve is not too steep. Review Source RH Robert H. Technical Delivery Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Federal Government version of SharePoint we are using lacks key collaboration features" November 22, 2021 3.0 I've used commercial versions of SharePoint that are much better and do not have the problems that the FedGov version has. Pros It is secure and meets Federal Government regulatory standards Cons We are unable to edit spreadsheets or documents in the browser. We must download them and edit them offline in a desktop client, then re-upload them again. This cripples collaboration. Review Source Mariam A. Sales Manager Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Most beloved document collaboration tool" August 9, 2021 5.0 We're working on SharePoint since every participant has to save and update SharePoint data, and we're following GCP and federal regulations. Data and project management are two of the most important aspects of project management. It's really simple to cooperate on. The ability to store data on the cloud and access it from anywhere, with or without the need of a VPN, is fantastic. Pros Microsoft SharePoint is significantly superior than traditional share folders in that it allows you to upload and download nearly any type of content. It's been a year since I switched to SharePoint, and it's already felt fantastic. It simply syncs with Microsoft Excel and Word; I share my work with the team via shareable links, and access is really smooth. What I like best about Microsoft Share Point is that everything is online and accessible from any device, anywhere. Every three years, I've had to replace my PC. I would have lost everything if I had kept my data on the local system. As a result, having Sharepoint saved me a lot of time and effort. Cons Please understand the distinction between a private and a public connection. I was guilty of this, as were many of my coworkers, but just because it's in the business cloud doesn't mean it's available to others until it's expressly mentioned. This is excellent for security, but it's annoying since it means asking, "Hey, I can't see your link," is all too often. Sadly, importing large files into Excel is a dead giveaway. It takes a long time, and we can't work on files with several individuals at the same time. Review Source VB Virginia B. Security Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Indispensable for project collaboration" April 29, 2024 4.0 Pros SharePoint is widely used in my company since it gives you the opportunity of having a common repository where keeping sensitive or reserved files. it's easy to use and helps you customize the public to which give the access to certain files or folders. It helps collaborate to project and to have always the latest updated version of the files without having to exchange it in other ways. You can also customize the color of the folder to be more organized in the environment Cons Its design is quite minimal and sometimes browsing in it, if you have a lot of folders in different places, can be not so immediate. Review Source AW Alexandria W. Quality Systems Auditor Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Regular user at large company using sharepoint for almost everthing" March 12, 2022 5.0 Experience overall has been good, but to a point if you’re dealing with a lot of sharepoint pages with a lot of data it gets very hard to find what you need. Pros I like that this method of storing documents is easier to access than hundreds of folders within mapped drives. I like that certain content can be edited in real time by multiple people with Excel online as an example. My favorite feature is the interfacing with Microsoft teams and the ability to share documents to teams sites with very few steps. Cons It can be difficult to navigate. Sometimes it’s not apparent that are more pages further in, that you have to click 4 or 5 layers deep to get to what you need, and the search feature doesn’t give you what you need even if you know for sure that it is there Review Source HB Henk B. LMS Administrator Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Microsoft SharePoint is a must-have!!!" September 17, 2022 5.0 Microsoft Sharepoint is a great platform that helps with collaboration and file management. Pros Once implemented, everything works seamlessly. End users start using it as if by second nature. Cons I would say that the price is a bit steep. SharePoint that comes with your standard Microsoft Office license is good for home use, but if you want to implement it in a whole organization/company, the costs can become very high. Review Source LM Leizl M. Arabtec Construction LLC Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best help to sustain work in all circumstances and with the same efficiency." May 9, 2022 5.0 With the development of the concept of remote work in the past years, Microsoft SharePoint was an ideal solution for us, where we can share files of different sizes, without the need for auxiliary applications, and we can always access desktop applications easily, which maintains business continuity under all circumstances. Pros Microsoft SharePoint is very important to our team's collaboration and business continuity with the rest of the groups remotely and without interruption. It provides us with a central station for sharing content easily, and makes us constantly collaborate on getting things done. I love how Microsoft SharePoint helps us manage the data and files we share and how to organize their storage on the cloud and also restrict access to them according to specialties and importance, which allows us to organize updates on them in a way that avoids tampering by non-specialists, and ensures maximum data protection. Cons I don't think there are negatives that affect the use, as Microsoft SharePoint, like other Microsoft applications, has an intuitive interface, and the user can easily access files and built-in programs, and saving changes and also sharing is very easy. Review Source Grace A. Digital Marketing Analyst Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "More capable, more robust. " January 13, 2022 5.0 I consider that one of its strongest points is the exchange of documents and the size limit that can be delivered, it is much more capable and the time to deliver is exceptionally short. It also has access controls, where some can only view and others can edit. It takes a bit of patience to know how to use the software correctly and get the best out of this product, but it is worth it, I can say that it is one of the best solutions for central storage of all documents, uploading, tracking, managing and sharing them. Pros I like SharePoint for the fact that it is a tool that seamlessly integrates and manages shared content, it is a secure place to store and organize information. >I have access from any device >Linking with MS Office 365 products, which makes working simultaneously more practical and faster. >Assists us by sharing huge records (good capacity). >Default models are clear. Cons If you want to start modifying it there is definitely a learning curve. I didn't like the user interface at first but I got used to it, but that doesn't mean it's the most intuitive.
