Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Reviews

I am using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for project management, data management, and as a document management system, as well as for due diligence data rooms and sharing project financial information with our clients or our partners.

The best features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are the integration between SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, and email.

The search and indexing capabilities of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server have an impact on my data retrieval processes. The interlinked search system is great; when I search from my OneDrive or my SharePoint, I get my results. I have a different point of access to the information.

The solution saves time and money for my company, approximately 15%.

I am using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for different clients, internal communication, and sharing documents with our clients and users.

From my partner perspective, the best advantages of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are that it's easy to use, and we can easily communicate, share documents, and assign permissions to specific people. We can create multiple types of permissions according to user requirements and client requirements, and we can allow or block usage of documents and folders. We can publish our achievements on SharePoint sites and multiple projects that we have created and share with the client user and our team management, as well as with the overall management.

The search capabilities are easy to use.

Regarding integration with other tools, it is easy to integrate when we have collaboration on Office 365 with tools such as Teams and OneDrive. These integrate seamlessly with the SharePoint tools.

The solution is primarily used for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server collaboration and document sharing, with edits across teams.

My favorite features in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are primarily related to being able to edit on the browser. This capability is invaluable as I can edit on both phone and laptop. I am not confined to any specific device, which is a significant time saver, especially when traveling. The ability to work through a web browser without requiring installation on devices is particularly beneficial.

Regarding integration, most of our Copilot tools can effectively connect to the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server system. The integration process is seamless and works efficiently without any challenges.

I personally use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server primarily for storing files, while the people from the IT department utilize other features, but I'm not very aware of that because I operate at a very high level as a CEO of operations, meaning I don't really have details of what the technical team is doing. There are three or four people involved before something even gets to me.

The IT team is using some features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, such as business intelligence, to address various business challenges.

With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, we use all the tools integrated with Teams, which has very good tools for governance to support verifying access that is not denied for people trying to access internal financial data, allowing us to verify any unauthorized attempts. In this sense for auditing, it is very good in order to keep the governance strong.

The integration with security tools in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is one of the significant pluses since it alerts the IT team if anyone tries to redirect an email, which is illegal for us. For instance, if a person attempts to forward a corporate email to their Gmail account, the system notifies the IT people with an alert about the forbidden redirect.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is efficient and saves time because we use Active Directory integrated with various access control tools. For example, we have integrated the access system used for physical entry, such as opening doors, with Active Directory. It works effectively, although we had to purchase a tool to facilitate this integration, but overall, it functions as expected.

I utilize the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server in document management workflows, and last month I started the workflow for documents using the workflow two or three times. I have no idea for this feature, but I am using it a little bit for two or three hours, seeing how the workflow works. A workflow is one I have created, and I assign the date, time, and target to the end-user.

My daily operation involves Microsoft Teams, and for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, we already do this on a daily basis: SharePoint document sharing in our organization and outside the organization. It's a daily basis activity for us.

I have not used the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server in any AI-driven projects or AI-driven processes yet, but I will start the AI project after my remaining, already running project. After I complete the running project, I am starting the AI because our company recently partnered with Anderson for an AI consultant. I have chosen this platform for a knowledge base and working base, and I think I will start with AI within two or three months.

The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a main feature of Microsoft, and I use it for everything I share inside the organization and outside the organization. It's easy to use, easy to share, and easy to manage all SharePoint services.

I find the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server very beneficial for an organization because all my documentation and other data can be shared through it. I can attach it to SharePoint and easily transfer my suggestions and documentation to any other person outside the organization or inside the office organization.

Security is a very important feature of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server because when I share a document or another file, I first check if I have any policies relevant to the document, such as edit, view only, and cannot download. This feature is very good.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is the fact that everyone has access to it. It is similar to OneDrive, and I see them as very interchangeable.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server helps with return on investment as it saves a lot of time and helps clients improve their processes. It ties everything together efficiently. When we work on a project, we create a SharePoint for clients, and then we can put all the information there. Nothing gets lost in translation or communication. We have full control of the narrative on SharePoint. It is really beneficial to give people access to, especially when there is a lot of information to share.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server could be improved in terms of its user interface. While it is easy to work with, it could be more intuitive and could look more aesthetically pleasing.

The setup for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is relatively straightforward, but the interface design needs improvement.

In SharePoint, you have two functionalities from my perspective. One is from a newsletter perspective and the other is from a team perspective For example; you have the SharePoint Teams and then you have the SharePoint Newsletter.

SharePoint Teams allows you to create a concept as a team, whereas SharePoint you create a workspace in Power BI and also you create a channel in Microsoft Teams. That's the beauty of the full component of Office 365. When you create things, you also can expand the same functionality for the additional applications that are out of there. The SharePoint News is used when you want to create newsletter updates on SharePoint.

On the point of the design is a design capability. They're there for you to put hyperlinks to other pages if it was your HyperText Markup Language or web page, so the idea or the service is to do a little bit in that direction. A good advantage is that you can create lists in SharePoint.

Basically, you have a full list and the beauty of that is that you can have a Power app that works with it. For example; you could develop a Power app that could be connected to that same SharePoint list. Your Power app will be your front end, where you input your data. Then your SharePoint will get that data into that SharePoint list. It means that you could use the Power BI connected to that SharePoint list to develop your front end, including the visualization of your reports.

Then, you could embed that Power BI report inside of the SharePoint for the end-users to consume. Inside of that SharePoint, they could see the report and they could see the information. Essentially, it is the full suite of Office 365 with the advantage of using the SharePoint database as your list. This is an example of one way that you could use it.

One of the strongest points for Microsoft applications is that they have a very big community.

Document management and records management features are the most valuable.

It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture.
