Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"SharePoint manages version control, which makes it easier to track and amend documentation accurately, maintaining document integrity and enabling quick recovery if necessary."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"It is very stable."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"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."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
