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

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."
"Single window information sharing."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"It is very stable."
"The best feature that I found for SharePoint was having a main point of contact for everyone involved."
"It helped us manage our documents and records effectively and at a reasonable cost."
"MS Office 365 in combination with SharePoint, as a total collaboration tool, brings collaboration to another level."
"Being able to drop all the cloud service subscriptions saves a lot: the amount depends on how many of those services can be replaced."
"SharePoint integrates well with the Team Foundation Server and provides collaboration features for team members on a TFS Team Project."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"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."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"Office 365 SharePoint is a powerful and great tool, as long as your libraries’ content is limited in terms of the number of files. For huge data uploads, limitation problems will start popping up."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"Administration is still very complex."
"The editing tools are still not up to par with all the existing hi-tech and GUI editing tools."
"Improve the user-friendliness. Make it more intuitive."
"Migrating SharePoint sites can be a cumbersome process and it usually results in the incomplete migration of SharePoint sites and data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."

"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is very expensive.​"

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…
