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.

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."
"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."
"The search feature is valuable."
"SharePoint manages version control, which makes it easier to track and amend documentation accurately, maintaining document integrity and enabling quick recovery if necessary."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
 

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 solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
"Replication needs improvement."
"The web parts in SharePoint could be more intuitive for end users."
"​Improve the user-friendliness."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
 

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."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"It is very expensive.​"
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
