Senior Director, Chief of Staff & Program Management Office (PMO) at a transportation company with 501-1,000 employees

Our contracts are moving from draft to full authorization significantly faster now

* The redline function isn’t sufficiently robust. Our clients struggle with the tool during negotiation. * The search feature needs to be a bit more robust, to facilitate complex search functions. * Integration with our ERP system (and other systems) needs to be enabled. SpringCM reports that they are working on all of these items and that they are integrated into their roadmap.

Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured

SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Our contracts are moving through the process, from draft to full authorization, 340 percent faster than they did last year."

"The SharePoint interface is adequate and also a little bit faster."

"Tech support tops off as excellent."

"Competitors are solidly in the market who offer better workflow, security, governance and collaboration."

"Combined reports and data with timeline tracking, better than looking into three systems to find the full picture."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing or information sharing."

"SharePoint 2013 had a better and cleaner user interface that has appealed to more users."

"For all-around capabilities that include not just document management, workflows, calendar, task management, blogging, calendars and overall business process management, we deemed SharePoint as the best overall."

"The complete granularity of being able to apply permissions at collection, site, library, list, folder, and doc set levels give ultimate flexibility."

Cons

"The redline function isn’t sufficiently robust. Our clients struggle with the tool during negotiation. Also, the search feature needs to be a bit more robust, to facilitate complex search functions. Finally, integration with our ERP system (and other systems) needs to be enabled. SpringCM reports that they are working on all of these items."

"The redline function isn’t sufficiently robust. Our clients struggle with the tool during negotiation."

"The technical support from Microsoft for SharePoint is often slow and rated a three out of ten."

"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."

"It is not really better; we use the same solution as before with Google Drive and the Google App solution."

"The product must provide more automation."

"SharePoint Designer enables creating workflows easily. However, they produce errors at times."

"I would love to see a more robust workflow."

"The solution lacks collaboration features."

"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is very expensive."

"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."

"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."

"The data classification and search elements are cheap."

"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."

"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons

At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
