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

"I find that SharePoint when used for the right purpose, lends itself to be a fantastic collaboration and workflow service."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"From my perspective, since I am a data professional and we have to keep a record of all the data as per our client's demand, SharePoint provides us a repository where we can keep all our data intact and updated."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"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."
"It has allowed my team to seamlessly share requirements with one another and provide feedback while working off one version."
"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."
"Regarding the best features in SharePoint, the accessibility part of it is great; we don't need to do the coding from zero scratch, which we really appreciate."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its flexibility, ease of working with, intuitive interface, and ease of finding a huge online community, along with its simplicity of integration with other solutions."
"WordPress is a fast way to present and test online business concepts, events, and marketing activity."
"This program, WordPress, has made it possible for our company to advertise all around the country, instead of keeping it local."
"The best feature of WordPress is its user-friendliness and its strong SEO capabilities."
"As WordPress is such a popular product, there are many designers and developers available to work on projects."
"There's an immediate return."
"The best feature in WordPress is Elementor. It lets you easily create one-page landing sites."
"With WordPress anyone with or without any coding knowledge can build beautiful robust WordPress websites."
 

Cons

"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"Technical support is bad, as the support is for all other Microsoft products."
"Due to the flexibility and power of the product, out of the box it can be daunting to use."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"It does too many things and some of them seem impossible to set up."
"For the most part, the tool is useable, but there are many end users who still find it difficult overall."
"It may be useful to have a downloadable program that you could have on your desktop that allows you to create and maintain the program while offline."
"WordPress needs to adapt to new technologies. It also needs to improve scalability. We don't have optimized content and plugins in the tech stack."
"There should be an enhanced configuration screen for advanced users to do custom tweaks and adjustments."
"Modifying tables or graphics format in admin dashboard can be more complicated than other applications like Joomla."
"The plugins have to be tested and monitored frequently as some of them lead to the website crashing."
"Running updates occasionally broke down our website. In these situations, we had to pull backups or contact our website developer for guidance."
"However, Gutenberg is still very buggy, so be sure to use another builder in the meantime (e.g. Beaver Builder)."
"It could be a little bit easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is competitive."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"WordPress is a free solution."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money."
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"It provides a high ROI."
"It is an open-source platform. It doesn't need any license."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free. The domain and pushing data costs money."
