Bitrix24 vs Microsoft Office SharePoint Server comparison

"I believe that having one system that handles all of the functions that we need in a business, such as marketing, sales, pipeline management, project management, meetings, customer contact, customer feedback, social media integrations, and connections to our cloud data storage, Google, and Microsoft, is a good idea."

"Initially, Bitrix24 improved the way we operate because we were not previously using a CRM. Before Bitrix24, we tracked everything through Outlook. Now, we have a tool that will automatically put out reports for us."

"The CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now."

"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."

"It's a very easy-to-use product."

"We are considering Bitrix24 as an office automation solution for our workplace productivity-related issues, project management activities, and staff tracking."

"The data interpretation feature in Bitrix24 is good."

"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."

"Ability to collaborate with others in one location."

"Microsoft Office SharePoint Server's document management significantly improves collaboration within my organization."

"The forms aspect of the solution, for example, the creation of surveys, is its most valuable aspect."

"It's a very robust product."

"The feature that I value the most about Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is the ability to have multiple persons in a file at the same time, which was not possible when we started using computers."

"Sharing information is the best feature or advantage of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server based on my experience."

"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."

"The solution's most valuable features is its document management. It allows sharing with external users and integrates well with Office apps and Microsoft Flow."

"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."

"The solution’s performance could be made faster."

"The stability could be improved."

"In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement."

"There is a need for better integration with ERP solutions."

"The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming."

"Our financial department does not use Bitrix24 because it's not good for the sort of work they do. So, once we create an invoice in Bitrix24, we sent it to the client and the financial department and they enter it separately into their system. This is not great for us since we can't track what happens after a sale."

"The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved."

"The solution is like a CRM, so the initial setup is complex. It takes a few days to deploy the solution and the length of time depends on how large the company's topology is and what the client's demands are."

"The document management features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are not very good compared to OneDrive."

"The solution needs to have more flexibility. The classic version had more flexibility, however, the modern version has many more limitations."

"The permission management features need improvement."

"This solution is not very stable. It is useful to arrange data but it's not the best for big data. Sometimes we have issues with our reports as a result."

"I would like to see the integration with Teams reinforced."

"Searching information internally in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server could be better because when we get a lot of information, it is difficult to find."

"The user interface needs improvement because there is a lot of stuff in there. I use five to eight navigation buttons. It should be more user-friendly. Frequently used menu items should be arranged in a proper way. That would be helpful."

"The pricing for this program is reasonable."

"The solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a seven or eight out of ten."

"Bitrix24 is a cheap tool. I think our costs are somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 per month. There are no additional costs with it. We did put in some hours to clean up some project-related stuff in it, but it was not much."

"The product's pricing is okay for me. It is not expensive."

"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."

"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."

"Licenses are cheap compared to other solutions."

"Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."

"It can be expensive for on-premises deployments, especially when you have to support SQL Server as your backend database. That's where the cost comes into play. SQL Server has its own licensing, which Microsoft keeps on changing. Therefore, it can become costly. In the earlier versions of SharePoint, version 2007 or 2010, they had an express version where the SQL Server licensing was free. It wasn't like a full-blown SharePoint. It was only a slimmed-down version. It used to be whatever your hardware costs. You would install the free software and work with it, but you were very limited in what you could do in SharePoint. If you wanted the SharePoint Enterprise Server with all the bells and whistles, then you had to pay more to get the SQL Server license based on the number of users or servers. The subscription model is different for cloud deployments. Licensing is per user and per month. The cost also depends on the storage required. If you have a lot of sites or documents, then you need to expand it based on your needs."

"There are some aggressive discounts offered by Microsoft for organizations that are not for profit, which we are, and it makes it quite attractive to consider."

"One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost. With the on premise version, you pay for the license once. For the cloud version, there is a recurring fee. It is very expensive. They expect everyone to pay $20 or $30 per user per month."
