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."
"It is well supported by Microsoft."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The technical support from Microsoft for SharePoint is often slow and rated a three out of ten."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"The navigation is confusing."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"Make it more intuitive."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for SharePoint?
I do not know the difference between the prices of the two solutions; I did not work on this project.
What needs improvement with SharePoint?
It is not really better; we use the same solution as before with Google Drive and the Google App solution. Sometimes I have to refresh pages more than with Google, but it does not charge; the page ...
