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."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint include the ability to co-edit documents in the Office suite, particularly Excel and Word."
"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."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"The web parts in SharePoint could be more intuitive for end users."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
