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.

It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is functionalities that improve the efficiency of the employee workforce."
"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."
"Outstanding support on SharePoint, in particular from Microsoft."
"It is very stable."
"​Combined reports and data with timeline tracking."
"We used to employ Oracle UCM, but we replaced it because of the features provided in SharePoint along with the customizations, flexibility and ease of creating websites, workflows, pages and applications."
"SharePoint integrates well with the Team Foundation Server and provides collaboration features for team members on a TFS Team Project."
"For simple solutions, I recommend this solution."
"The community is enormous and everyone is very helpful, and other people have problems already solved."
"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"
"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."
"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."
"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."
"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."
 

Cons

"Better wiki offerings."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"The user interface should improve. It is still a bit clunky for the new user to navigate around."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"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."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"Better collaboration, and team sites (social flavour) mobile enabled More and improved integration capabilities into the eco-system of solutions available."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"As website content and number of visits grow, one does recognize scalability issues for websites on shared hosting."
"Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented."
"The code behind a WP theme is not easy to modify in case you need additional features not provided by the theme."
"We are facing issues with outdated plugins and shared hosting security issues, only if WordPress is implemented in dedicated environment it is highly secure."
"No option to monetize the website (Affiliated links or Advertisements)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"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 pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"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."
