Responsable Technique IT at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
It's easy to customize security access for all resources or content.
Design which contents do you want integrate to your IBM portal. Evaluate constraints for each integration and solve them by technology choices included in this product. They are a lot of solution proposed by IBM portal products Choose if you want a premise solution or a cloud solution ( 2 solutions are advantages and disadvantages)

Collaboration has improved through simplified document access and controlled sharing
SharePoint is definitely used to keep a record of our files and data. The capability is quite good because it is time-saving. I have used it only four or five times, but it has been very helpful to keep all my information in a consolidated manner. The search feature is one of the most beneficial factors that we use to filter out the latest data or the latest file as per our convenience and use case. When you have a large repository, this feature is particularly valuable. Role-based access control has been helpful while developing the knowledge platform. The roles were defined clearly, which made it easy for the four or five of us to work simultaneously and collaborate on our project in a similar manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Workflow to manage page and content with validation step is great and it's easy to customize security access for all resources or content."
"It has allowed my team to seamlessly share requirements with one another and provide feedback while working off one version."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"SharePoint has allowed our organization to effectively share important information across lines of business globally."
"All employees can view necessary interactions/documents, great task management and contact management functions."
"The search feature is valuable."
"What makes SharePoint special is that it applies to a wide range of company scenarios; document management, knowledge management, project management, and records management."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
 

Cons

"Customer service is medium for quality and answer, low for resolving problem."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products."
"It has its limitations. We are unable to use this tool to "archive" data and run queries to generate hindsight information."
"There are multiple areas with room for improvement: Scanning engine driver, mobile integration (just launched by MS, yet to be seen), stability."
"Initial setup was complex for IT resources with a non-SharePoint background."
"The user interface should improve. It is still a bit clunky for the new user to navigate around."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is competitive."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
