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

"We use Huddle to store important team files, and with a dispersed team, we set permissions on files that are relevant to each team, helping us keep files up to date and streamline projects."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"The ability to assign an attribute to a library artifact allows the site owner to create the appropriate views based on artifact attributes (category, owner, etc.)."
"The collaboration features of SharePoint 2013 are probably the best I have seen in an enterprise product out of the box."
"Competitors are solidly in the market who offer better workflow, security, governance and collaboration."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"The complete granularity of being able to apply permissions at collection, site, library, list, folder, and doc set levels give ultimate flexibility."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
 

Cons

"I think the navigation from project to project could be improved, but other than that, nothing I would add."
"It would be nice if the editing and setting up of SharePoint were more user-friendly, so I do not have to have an expert to deal with it."
"The reporting functionality needs improvement, to combine multiple lists (for the most part) requires a solution outside of SharePoint."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"UX performance, especially in Office 365, is an issue when the sites are accessed from Asia and Australia, which is bad compared to accessing them from the USA."
"Performance: The web page was sometimes not as fast as we'd like to see."
"Support is deficient. We depend on local vendors to get access to support and most of the issues we presented took more time to resolve that we wanted."
"Document libraries and document management could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."

"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
