Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint ( /products/sharepoint-reviews ) 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 product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"Information is much more readily available."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"Sharing information is very easy in SharePoint. We use multiple types of documents, like online Excel tools and online content editing, especially for group editing. This allows us to collaborate, even in distributed teams. Despite being geographically spread out, everyone can access the same files online, edit them, and see changes. We also use SharePoint to track all these changes, making our teamwork more collaborative overall. The tool fastens information sharing and collaboration."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"It's very easy to integrate with other software from Microsoft; it works fine with Excel, Word, email, and similar tools, which I find valuable."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"I have been facing some challenges when using SharePoint, as the workflows freeze at times, so there is a maintenance activity which needs to be done periodically."
"The product must provide more automation."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing works for us."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The product is reasonably priced."
