Featured Reviews

Jeremey Kenney - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Technology & Integration at GlobalMac IT
Secure file governance has improved collaboration and automation for client document workflows
The best features are around security, being able to set up different groups, and the governance features are really great. The new AI functionality that they released has been pretty handy. For governance and security, the audit trail capability is excellent. We are able to see when people interact or change files or if something was deleted, and we can go through and review that audit trail. The AI has been great for creating different workflows that we are able to execute. When a form gets submitted into Box - Intelligent Content Management or a file is uploaded, there are certain automations that we can put in place to where it can essentially generate tickets in our system for new users or other tasks.

Centralized collaboration has transformed intranet projects but search and mobile still need work
Workflow in Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has helped my teams by using it for Sharepoint access request forms. The workflow I use involves submission, and when the submission happens, there is an approval of the form. Approval goes to the manager, and once he approves it, it goes to the next phase. For final acceptance, we send it to an end user so he can check mark on it or indicate that the work is done. These are the approval processes we utilize, including out-of-the-box email approval and alerts sent by the system. Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has saved time and improved productivity by enabling cost-saving measures. When using one place for all documents, your team can see everything in the latest mode. All they need to do is click the link to access the same place, and follow-up conversations occur on the same page. It definitely saves a lot of time and energy for teams, allowing them to focus less on email exchanges and more on project tasks. Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 has positively impacted my organization by providing very good collaboration capability. It includes a list, calendar, permissions, and everything that works great for everyone. It offers one centralized place, so there is no need to configure or go to multiple places looking for the same information. Once I update information, everybody syncs on the same data. It also enables tracking changes, restoring previous versions, maintaining document history, and sharing team calendars, organizing the same vision with different kinds of access. This feature definitely contributes to good progress in teams, making it very useful for any organization. Best features Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2012r2-24x7 offers include a list and permission capability, team collaboration capability, workflow and approval process capability. All of these capabilities are fantastic, including version control and permission-based access, providing one centralized place where everybody can see everything and update it. If we need to revert back, version control is there, and we can see how much use case it is. It is very efficient for business users. I am a Sharepoint user for a long time, so all of those features are fantastic.
