The ability to have duplicate document names is very useful for content migration. During trouble-shooting you will discover that the logs are all over the place.
During trouble-shooting you will discover that the logs are all over the place - even on servers you would not expect - and fragmented into dozens of files, yet the detail is excellent. It's Java execution logs, so needs a bit of interpretation skill, though. Speaking of Java, the web interface requires JRE and degrades in mysterious ways without it: No warnings or graceful fall-back. The web UI is otherwise VERY awkward and limited in functionality. The Windows client on the other hand is extremely dated but rich in functionality - not pretty, though. Despite the API, there is no vendor support for integration into any other systems except through HTML frames.

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 ability to have duplicate document names is very useful for content migration."
"The document library feature in this product is most valuable."
"SharePoint integrates well with the Team Foundation Server and provides collaboration features for team members on a TFS Team Project."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"It has helped us collapse all our versions into a single file."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"For us, in terms of the project development and support tools and for a collaborative repository of live documents, there is nothing like this solution."
"SharePoint has positively impacted my organization by simplifying file transfers and storage options and searching through documents."
 

Cons

"Upgrades can be nightmares, partly because there can be architecture and engine changes in minor version increments."
"Office 365 SharePoint is a powerful and great tool, as long as your libraries’ content is limited in terms of the number of files. For huge data uploads, limitation problems will start popping up."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"Ultimately SharePoint offers less than what you need for more than what you bargained."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"The editing tools are still not up to par with all the existing hi-tech and GUI editing tools."
"The stability of SharePoint needs improvement, because once you start to get a large amount of data, it becomes very unwieldy, and it takes a long time to index."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"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.​"
"The pricing is competitive."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."

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…
