I use Sharepoint 2016 Standard in my day-to-day work as part of a team in an organization where I rely on it for document management and internal file sharing.
I use Sharepoint 2016 Standard for knowledge management as a central repository. In projects where I work with around two to three people, each team member prepares design documents, requirement gathering documents, and other documents including SOPs, manuals, and policies. Every document needs to be visible to all other members in that project, and we use Sharepoint 2016 Standard as a centralized place for this purpose. We also use it for workflow automation including approvals and other document review processes where we submit and upload documents. It primarily functions as a team collaboration site.
Sharepoint 2016 Standard stands out to me for its integration with Microsoft tools including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook.
When I need to send a document through Outlook or share it with other team members, and when I need files in different formats such as Word or Excel, the integration with Sharepoint 2016 Standard helps me tremendously and makes the process very easy. This integration is helping my team collaborate extensively.
Sharepoint 2016 Standard has role-based access control, which secures our enterprise data effectively. The user interface is also very intuitive, allowing me to access documents with ease.
Using Sharepoint 2016 Standard enables me to share my thought process and knowledge bases easily across teams as well as within teams. It has improved my productivity significantly. For the HR team, onboarding new team members has become easier because all documents are stored in one location. For the knowledge transfer process, Sharepoint 2016 Standard is very useful.
I have been working with this solution for two years.
For technical members, using Sharepoint 2016 Standard will be easy. For non-IT persons, once they refer to the documentation, setup and navigation will be very easy for them.
Sharepoint 2016 Standard is currently working well for my needs. I would suggest reducing the number of questions in review processes because it takes a long time to complete, and the same questions are repeated multiple times. Overall, the experience has been good. I gave this product a rating of ten out of ten.
