An Easy to use tool for brainstorming and planning, compatible with Microsoft Project
This solution works well enough. One can always dream up certain things that may or may not be worth implementing in a piece of software because some other people might have some other better priorities that make more sense. But I would say for what I need it to do, I'm okay. My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful. I am pretty sure that the functionality it has today has more modern methodologies than what I use, but for me, it has been very useful and I have kept using it all of this time. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

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

"The metadata map provides operational navigation to complete business processes."
"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
"My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful."
"SharePoint integrates well with the Team Foundation Server and provides collaboration features for team members on a TFS Team Project."
"SharePoint is a big product with many features including customization flexibilities."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"SharePoint is better than Google Pages due to the maturity of the content I can create, the way I can store assets, and the way I can consume them."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
 

Cons

"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."
"I don't know what the pricing is at now, but at the time the price hike upset me to the point that I stopped upgrading."
"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."
"It tends to be unstable and slow when accessing different features."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"There are multiple areas with room for improvement: Scanning engine driver, mobile integration (just launched by MS, yet to be seen), stability."
"I'm trying to get the knowledge bit by bit, so I'm losing the idea of the whole product, e.g. SharePoint is losing its essence."
"It would be nice if the editing and setting up of SharePoint were more user-friendly, so I do not have to have an expert to deal with it."
"Support is deficient. We depend on local vendors to get access to support and most of the issues we presented took more time to resolve that we wanted."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"When used with large data, SharePoint may produce performance degradation; that requires some optimization and tweaks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was very good in the beginning, then the price increased from USD $99.00 to USD $249.00, then I stopped upgrading because what I needed was already there."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The product is reasonably priced."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."

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…
