Senior Market Research Analyst at IDC Corporate
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.

Easy to store information and maintan workflow but we use QlikView for reporting because built in reporting is poor.
Workflow Reorganized the workflow for purchase invoice. My customer uses version 6, I haven't seen the new one. If it hasn't yet been upgraded in the new version, I feel that the interface can be improved to be more windows like. Since 2008 We didn't have any deployment issues. While version 5…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Integration with Office 365 and Active Directory, and access from all our company users as part of the Office 365 licenses, plus hassle free access from mobile devices to sites, forms, and lists, with powerful content search and preview."
"We have taken advantage of the list features extensively and the ability to clone subsites, and the creation of lists and the ability to tie lists together has made my job and other different department’s jobs easier."
"Collaboration became a lot easier."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"SharePoint has streamlined our documentation management process by allowing us to automate several functions."
"We use this solution as central repository for all the corporate information systems."
"It allowed us to be more productive in terms of being more organized."
"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."
"We didn't experience any issues with the initial setup, it was easy."
 

Cons

"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"Primarily, the mobile experience is wanting in SharePoint 2010."
"Well, for SharePoint Online, the add-on features which are free tend to expire within a month or earlier."
"I have noticed in organizations I joined that they lock down SharePoint so much, there is very limited functionality."
"For the functionality you get at this price point, it leaves a lot to be desired."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The solution lacks collaboration features so that I am unable to collaboratively create and work on a document with others."
"SharePoint doesn’t have the Urdu language package, hence we had to work hard for it."
"Customer Service: 5/10. The supplier is slow to answer but now it's better with a self employed consultant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Any extended support from Microsoft is 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 data classification and search elements are cheap."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"It is very expensive.​"

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…
