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 most valuable facet of SharePoint is the content, the ideas, all the information, all in one content management system."
"Using the workflow as an example, it has helped to transform the conventional paperwork processes into digitized and faster processes."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"It's very easy to integrate with other software from Microsoft; it works fine with Excel, Word, email, and similar tools, which I find valuable."
"The most valuable features to our organization are the ability to store and share documents across the entire corporation, and the ability to use workflows."
"Ease of implementation, certainly IT needs to give appropriate access to a sandbox, but learning is easy and quick."
"WordPress is a fast way to present and test online business concepts, events, and marketing activity."
"It has a vast array of themes which could be applied to make the website visually look more appealing to the target market."
"WordPress combines simplicity for users and publishers with under-the-hood complexity for developers."
"WordPress is simple to learn, agile, and flexible."
"This program, WordPress, has made it possible for our company to advertise all around the country, instead of keeping it local."
"The product has evolved and has become dependable and secure."
"The benefits with the use of WordPress are very large, especially when it is oriented to the sale of products and services."
"WordPress offers great flexibility."
 

Cons

"Search integration across SharePoint, Yammer, Teams, and OneDrive."
"Make it more intuitive."
"The technical support level is practically nil."
"Initial setup was complex for IT resources with a non-SharePoint background."
"The solution should improve its integration with other project management tools."
"Performance: The web page was sometimes not as fast as we'd like to see."
"Support is deficient. We depend on local vendors to get access to support and most of the issues we presented took more time to resolve that we wanted."
"Advise users to update the content."
"I would like to have the ability to customize the whole WordPress installation. WordPress comes with a number of core features. I would love to be able to remove those I'm not using at the moment."
"The system should be more informative. E.g., if there is an error in uploading a theme or there is some issue with a plugin, WordPress should describe the error in a more descriptive way and also should explain the solution."
"WordPress is less performant than FirstSpirit solution."
"I think WordPress needs to improve itself in the area of security."
"Customer Service: A five out of 10. Technical Support: A six out of 10."
"It could be a little bit easier to use."
"The plugins have to be tested and monitored frequently as some of them lead to the website crashing."
"I would rate this solution a one out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"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 pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"It is very expensive.​"
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"WordPress is a free solution."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free. The domain and pushing data costs money."
"Regarding pricing, we have the flexibility to utilize certain themes and plugins across multiple websites for a single one-time cost. However, there are instances where themes come with only one activation key, limiting their use to a single website. Certain plugins and themes come with a significant cost, with the least expensive theme priced at around $120. Additionally, plugins typically range from $80 to $90 per year for a subscription. Consequently, it can be considered somewhat costly in this regard. Conversely, when it comes to WordPress, there is no expenditure involved."
"The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
"WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month."
