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

"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."
"The most valuable features are its ease of integration and customization."
"The lists handling is perfect, and any kind of content linked to them is very easy to publish."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"It has improved our productivity to a great extent with its great collaboration features."
"Compared to other products, SharePoint is not only a content manager, but a wider product, like enterprise content management."
"It has allowed my team to seamlessly share requirements with one another and provide feedback while working off one version."
"From my perspective as a developer I would say that the most valuable features are the wide variety of data source connections, completeness of features, and strong query possibilities (customisation, SQL, MDX, macros)."
 

Cons

"I think the navigation from project to project could be improved, but other than that, nothing I would add."
"Better wiki offerings."
"Ultimately SharePoint offers less than what you need for more than what you bargained."
"Performance: The web page was sometimes not as fast as we'd like to see."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"SharePoint has workflow built into the software however it is very simplistic."
"I would like to see improvements in the interface."
"The technical support from Microsoft for SharePoint is often slow and rated a three out of ten."
"The technical support level is practically nil."
