Built-in integrations increase efficiency but cluster support requires improvement
On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments. Multiple instances need to be set up and configured. In the cloud environment, improvements are ongoing. The fallback and benefit assessment of the product suggest a need for a rating of seven or eight.
Ravi Raushan Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at ValueMomentum
Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured
SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"There are competitors out there, but there's a lot that Oracle Cloud offers outside of giving you just a basic database or basic infrastructure-as-a-service that add a lot of value to it."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"It helped us manage our documents and records effectively and at a reasonable cost."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"All employees can view necessary interactions/documents, great task management and contact management functions."
"Compared to other products, SharePoint is not only a content manager, but a wider product, like enterprise content management."
"Feedback workflows ensure we don't miss someone when documents need reviewing and approval workflows make sure the right people are approving it, especially when there are new or temporary staff involved."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"It allowed us to be more productive in terms of being more organized."
 

Cons

"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"I would like to see faster turnaround for provisioning new services."
"File recovery is not made simple."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"The navigation is confusing."
"Administration is still very complex."
"Technical support is bad, as the support is for all other Microsoft products."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
"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 tool's licensing part is expensive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"It is very expensive.​"
"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."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
