September 16, 2026 5.0 My experience with ShortPoint has been exceptional from both a product and support perspective. It has helped reduce development effort, create reusable solutions, and empower teams to build engaging SharePoint experiences without needing extensive coding knowledge. What stands out just as much as the product itself is the people behind it. The ShortPoint team consistently adds new features and design elements, listens to customer feedback, and provides outstanding support. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping their customers succeed. I appreciate that they've taken my feedback seriously and have incorporated ideas into future releases. At this point, I genuinely can't imagine building a SharePoint environment without ShortPoint. It's a fantastic product backed by a team that truly cares about its users. Pros What I love most about ShortPoint is how easy it makes it to transform SharePoint into something that actually looks and feels like a modern digital workplace. Out of the box, SharePoint can be limiting when it comes to design and branding, but ShortPoint fills that gap perfectly. The ability to create reusable page templates, apply global styling, and build beautiful pages with little to no code has saved countless hours of development time. I've introduced ShortPoint at two different organizations, and in both cases, it became an essential part of our SharePoint strategy. The platform is intuitive, flexible, and helps maintain a consistent look and feel across the entire environment. Cons Honestly, there isn't much I would consider a downside. If anything, the biggest challenge is realizing how much you depend on it once you've experienced what it can do. Going back to a standard SharePoint environment without ShortPoint feels like a step backward. Review Source RG Rüdiger G. CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SharePoint layout and content magic by ShortPoint" June 6, 2023 5.0 ShortPoint eases the setup and orchestration of Intrantes and complex intranet structures and pages. On support cases, the experience was very reactive, qualified and supportive. Pros Easy to learn, easy to use, solves most annoying issues of SharePoint layout and design as well es flexible 3rd party content integration Cons no issues found, can´t say anyting we missed Alternatives considered [Unily](https://www.capterra.com/p/153146/Unily/) Reason for choosing ShortPoint easy of use, cost, templating options, simple REST-integration - ShortPoint just does, what we want to solve - without complexity and feature bloat Review Source NP Nelson P. Project Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Shortpoint is good but still needs work" June 6, 2023 3.0 Overall, I guess it's better than SharePoint alone. There are some things I really like about it but many things I have found are frustrating or don't do what I really want. Pros I like that Shortpoint gives you a number of look and feel options for your pages. It's relatively easy to use but could be easier. I have to say that Shortpoint Support has been helpful to me for the most part although there are a couple of long time issues that have yet to be solved. Cons I hate that if Shortpoint is deactivated for any reason that you have to hit every page on the site to reactivate it. I hate that I have to remember to hit the save icon or take a chance of losing my work (it wasn't always like this), I hate that I have to reset the "link field" in tables if I put that table into edit mode after the link has already been selected (I have been waiting for a year for a fix for this). There has also not been an update in quite some time that I am aware of. Reason for choosing ShortPoint Our development team reviewed them both and found more options with Shortpoint. Review Source SC Stephanie C. Senior Instructional Designer Furniture Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Improved Access to SharePoint with ShortPoint" April 16, 2020 5.0 ShortPoint has enabled us to create internal SharePoint sites that are user friendly and attractive for our multi-generational group of Associates. It has provided us with the opportunity to show how flexible SharePoint can be and how accessible for company-wide information that is important to all Associates. As a company, ShortPoint has been supportive from the time we purchased our subscriptions and all the way through development and learning how to use the software by being quick to respond when we had questions. Pros ShortPoint has an extensive group of features that are easy to understand and use with SharePoint Online. Since we wanted to create modern sites, it was important that the software we selected work well with that format. In addition, the selection of demo sites and features are great with the ability to copy from the ShortPoint page right into our own site - making it so easy to develop a page quickly. Cons The ability to embed html code or widgets into a ShortPoint widget would be a great feature to add. There are other minor properties in some features that could be improved but, all in all, the software doesn't have any major cons as we've used it. Alternatives considered [LiveTiles](https://www.capterra.com/p/159846/LiveTiles-SharePoint/) Reason for choosing ShortPoint We were looking to keep costs down while getting a software that could be flexible for what we needed and envisioned for our sites. We also wanted a software/tool that was reasonably easy to learn quickly to meet the project due dates we had planned. Review Source OA Omar A. Data Analyst Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Product to help you create professional & amazing intranet sites." January 24, 2024 4.0 Pros has multiple features to help you adjust your intranet site look & feel, control image sizes, texts insert icons, there is no need for any coding or prior web development experience. any user who has good knowledge in computer (works for IT) can pick it up. also their support is excellent and prompt when you raise a ticket & there is sufficient documentations on their website with screenshot guides to help you get started. Cons integration with microsoft out of the box features is minimal at the moment, if you want to mix & match webparts between the 2 products to use their best features the site feel will be strange. they mentioned they are working on integrating microsoft webparts inside their product, if that update is done it will be a game changer. Alternatives considered [Origami](https://www.capterra.com/p/204169/Origami/) Reason for choosing ShortPoint their multiple editing features, ready templates and sections on their websites, the copy & paste sections functionality,their knowledge library that is detailed with user friendly screenshots and guides. Review Source Response from ShortPoint February 5, 2024 Hi Omar, thank you for the review. We have rolled out an integration of Microsoft Web Parts into the ShortPoint product on November 21st, 2023.

Senior Technical Specialist, Productivity Platforms Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ShortPoint as Australia Post" January 13, 2020 5.0 Pros Ease of use, functionality, low cost of ownership, ROI, Cons Having to manually upgrade the software on each site. There is currently no centralised way to upgrade all sites to the same version. Alternatives considered [LiveTiles](https://www.capterra.com/p/159846/LiveTiles-SharePoint/) Reason for choosing ShortPoint LiveTiles was purchased for one project, however after a short trial of the product in production we found a large number of bugs and the cost ended up being more than the business was prepared to pay for the entire organisation.

Internal Communications Manager Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great option for a new design" February 19, 2020 5.0 Overall the software is fantastic and the service calls and support from the ShortPoint team was awesome. There is a lot of support offered to ensure you have a great experience. Pros Shortpoint provides such broad options for mixing functionality and design. The copy and paste options from the website were a fantastic tool that allowed me to rebuild our Intranet design quickly and with ease. Cons The software can be hard to get used it for some users. Alternatives considered [LiveTiles](https://www.capterra.com/p/159846/LiveTiles-SharePoint/)[Unily](https://www.capterra.com/p/153146/Unily/) Reason for choosing ShortPoint I needed a product that I could implement with very little IT support. I didn't have a big timeframe or resources to launch a whole new product, I really needed something I could improve existing functionality and design (look and feel). I also had a very limited budget which made ShortPoint a great option for us. I also needed something that would work with our internal IT roadmap of moving to Office365 in a few months. ShortPoint allowed me to relaunch the intranet within a short timeframe whilst still setting us up well to move to SharePoint Online with minimal changes to the user experience. Review Source NL Nicola L. Internal Communications Lead Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great experience with ShortPoint and the team" January 5, 2026 5.0 Pros ShortPoint, via \[sensitive content hidden\] has been incredibly helpful in developing the front page and structure of our intranet. The system is intuitive and creates beautiful engaging intranet pages, however I was not familiar with the system and \[sensitive content hidden\] has been very patient in taking me through everything. Cons It can be a little fiddly to begin with if you don't know how to use the system and new users should definitely have an orientation session booked in. Review Source Alastair R. Independent Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ShortPoint gets fast, great looking results" December 13, 2018 5.0 Excellent - this product allowed me to complete a very challenging rebranding exercise in a very short amount of time. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to complete the project and would still be writing custom web parts using SharePoint framework. Customer support was also excellent. I logged an urgent ticket and had someone on a call within half an hour - and the support person really knew their stuff. Normal requests are answered within a few hours. Pros It's fast to get a great looking website up and running in no time. The components it has look great and having the ability to copy elements from their example sites really speeds things up. Most of their web parts can be connected to lists or libraries which is necessary as a license is needed to edit these web parts so using connected lists/libraries puts some control back into users hands. Very flexible and powerful software collection and there's really not much it can't do to a SharePoint site to make it look the way you want. Cons Requiring a license to edit is a bit of a downer - wish there was some intermediate license or method for others to edit pages with ShortPoint elements on them without requiring the full blown license. Although you can add ShortPoint web parts to modern pages, you can't use the site customiser if your home page is not a classic page. Looking forward to the site customiser for modern pages - once that arrives, will really be pleased. Review Source Response from ShortPoint December 14, 2018 Hi Alastair, Thank you for your feedback. We are about to release the Theme Builder (Site Customizer) for Modern Pages in next few days. After that you will be able to customize each and every aspect of Modern SharePoint Sites with precision. We have added even more features in Theme Builder for Modern Pages. Charmaine M.

December 19, 2018 5.0 i have worked with ShortPoint almost since the product was launched and i have met most of the people and they are very dedicated and really dedicated to ShortPoint. They are truly a marvelous group who stayed dedicated to their dream and made the DREAM real. i would recommend ShortPoint to any company to use - it is just an AMAZING product!!! The BEST and EASIEST tool around for SharePoint designing and making SharePoint more AWESOME. Pros The ease of use and the amount of features and the fact that they are continuously adding new features thus making ShortPoint better and better. i have looked at the other software available and they just do not compare to ShortPoint and with all the the features you get with it. AND the price of ShortPoint is also a winning factor. It really makes the SharePoint designer's life a millions times better and at the same time gives the user an amazing SharePoint experience. Cons The cheap price - just kidding. I love the product Review Source MP MAtodzi P.

Principal Architect Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Probuild Intranet site" September 28, 2021 5.0 ShortPoint has enabled Probuild to easily insource our intranet management. Pros The ease of use is the most critical element. We have non IT staff creating, managing and updating the site. Even when we get new staff they learn quickly how the platform works and start to mange the site within the hour. Cons Ongoing cost was more then the competitors Reason for choosing ShortPoint The capabilities and ease of use Review Source MI Mohamed I. Colloboration Specialist Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Revamp your SharePoint Experience with ShortPoint" January 28, 2020 5.0 Excellent product allowed us to brand our Intranet in a complete different experience with minimal amount of time. Pros Simply the best tool. Lowers the burden on IT from UX and UI perspective. Provides variety of design templates which is the among the good features. Cons Minor issues related to css on how to customize the elements. There should be a possibility to add custom web parts inside ShortPoint section.

Pros Copy pasting from your site. Ease of styling, i can go on for long. Cons Some bugs for instance when pasting on a page it doesn't always paste in the row you want it to go, it sometimes pushes it to the top.

Cons there was actually nothing that i didnt like Reason for choosing ShortPoint the price and the value it provides, it met my business needs. Review Source SS Sharjeel S. Software Services Manager Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great looking product!" December 12, 2018 5.0 The trial was easy to install and configure. Can create intranet pages in-house. This will also help us when we move to O365 as we won't need to re-write the SharePoint solution Pros can create great looking page in-house without outsourcing to web developers, easy to use Cons cannot think of anything at the moment. Review Source AS Andrew S. Systems Administrator II Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Short Points for ShortPoint." June 6, 2023 5.0 I've had a great experience with ShortPoint. If I've ever run into any issues, the technical team is always there to assist and they are very good at troubleshooting issues and helping you to move forward as quickly and sufficiently as possible. Pros The custom ability of templates and features are fantastic! I utilize this feature more than any other and that alone is worth the price! Cons Some of the connections to SharePoint sites can be difficult to setup. Once setup, some of the information being pulled can be painful if you're just guessing what information needs to be pulled from specific document libraries or lists. Review Source Bonnie B. Lead Systems Analyst Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Shortpoint Saves the Day" June 7, 2024 5.0 5 Stars, fantastic, could not more highly recommend. Pros We have found Shortpoint incredibly easy to install and manage our employee intranet. Our brand is able to be consistent and professional, staff are able to easily find the content they need. Communication has become easier and felt less siloed. Shortpoint also has INCREDIBLE support. I know if I have an issue, they're going to be responsive and get to the bottom of it. Cons Some of the more recent updates have broken other components and so we've had to stay at a previous version for awhile while they try to solve the issue. Review Source RA Rick A. IT Director Mining & Metals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Why you should use ShortPoint" June 6, 2023 4.0 Although early in the process, we have found the product fairly easy to use after some initial knowledge base search and learn sessions. Pros After an initial introduction to ShortPoint, you quickly find there are many more tools than meets the eye to not only design but also to make your SharePoint environment welcoming for your end users. Cons Although not a knock on ShortPoint, we definitely would like to see more designs within the Theme Builder. A second item has to do with Forms, instead of using Microsoft Forms we would definitely like to see more customization ability to integrate ShortPoint with the overall SharePoint experience by creating Forms and Approvals.

March 7, 2022 5.0 It has been perfect so far. It was very easy to learn and is being used all across the company lately. I have enjoyed seeing many others take interest in learning and using ShortPoint. Pros They do a great job of marketing their product and offering numerous guides and videos to get users started with designing their sites. Cons Some features, such as the social media ones only allow limited capabilities. Overall, no major issues with ShortPoint however. Great product! Review Source NW Nate W. SharePoint Developer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great solution with terrific support" June 6, 2023 5.0 Great experience from research and demo to use today!! We've been using it for three-ish years (and very satisfied with its abilities)! Pros ShortPoint does a great job making an adaptable solution! They offer great support when you need it (incredibly responsive) and their collection of pre-built (useable) elements is awesome! It takes a lot of time out of the build process if you have the chance to leverage those elements! Cons The new modern builder is still relatively new (so there's a learning curve) and it's a bit delayed in responsiveness, but very manageable. Review Source JB Jami B. Systems Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly with Appealing Elements" June 12, 2023 4.0 We use ShortPoint mainly for our internal use at this time. It has allowed us to define our brand standards across each division (company) to ensure we have a standardized layout for each of our projects and communities. Pros More custom options than out of box options from SharePoint online. Cons I really do not like the new layout of elements and toggling between grid and stacked view. The windows are smaller and overall I am not liking the new required design peice. Reason for choosing ShortPoint Cost Review Source Similar Products Featured
