MS
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.

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

"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"SharePoint is smooth and easy to use for editing, updating, and uploading files."
"It is very stable."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
 

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."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"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."
"The navigation is confusing."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"When working on a website with SharePoint Online, not many people can edit simultaneously. If I am editing one section, my colleague cannot edit it at the same time."
 

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."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The pricing works for us."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It is very expensive.​"
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing is competitive."

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…
