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."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its ease of use."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."

"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."

"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
