SharePoint Designer [EOL] Reviews

The tool helps with document management. We use the solution to create workflows. 

SharePoint Designer doesn't support the features that are available in the latest version of SharePoint Online. 

I have been using the solution for around ten years. 

I would rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten. 

Microsoft's support is good. We haven't used support since we resolve the issues by ourselves. 

The solution's setup is easy and I would rate it a nine out of ten. The solution's deployment takes only a few minutes to complete. You need to log in with your credentials to connect with any of the SharePoint environments. It took only minimal resources to deploy the product. 

The tool is free of cost. 

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. You can go ahead if you look to use 2010 or 2013 on-premises versions of the solution. However, it doesn't support the latest versions. 

We use SharePoint Designer to create SharePoint sites and applications for sharing information within our organization.

The Power App is the most valuable feature. We can design it to look exactly how we want it to be, without requiring an expert's assistance to set it up. We have the freedom to make changes on our own and can easily connect and generate leads.

Power Apps has certain limitations as it is designed primarily for tablets. When deployed on a computer, it becomes much smaller. I am currently facing the challenge of maximizing its functionality on a computer. This is one of the downsides of Power Apps.

SharePoint Designer needs filter options for lists and libraries. I want to create user groups and subgroups of users to apply properties to the metadata. Currently, I'm struggling to find a workaround.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for around three years.

SharePoint Designer seems to be stable.

I give SharePoint Designer a nine out of ten. We can create sites without having to code.

I recommend SharePoint Designer to others.

When you have a group project and you want to share your document with your group members, the solution is very useful. You can share anywhere but within your organizations.

The valuable feature of the solution is that it can be shared with your colleagues, and then you can share it with everybody around the globe. You can share as long as you have been authenticated with SharePoint.

It's a web-based tool that is sufficient enough for me.

In the solution, if you have a case of accidental deletion, there's no restoration, which should have been there. This can help in restoration in case of accidental deletion happening.

Pricing and stability could be improved.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for a year and a half. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten depending on the internet access.

The solution's scalability is fine. I don't have much confidence in SharePoint. It's easy for me to use.

There are 360 users of the solution in my organization.

It is extensively used, but we have no plans to increase its usage.

I have only used a shared folder.

The initial setup was not very complex. The setup phase was easy.

It took half an hour to deploy the tool.

Regarding the setup phase, it's easy and simple to use. There is nothing much to complain about.

It is based on one's experience and use cases that one reaches SharePoint. Then, you may want to share it with your colleagues based on the project. If you have a department and you want to share it among your department, you need to identify the use case before you post it with SharePoint. Once you establish the use case as a requirement, then it's easy, and it's like a sharing folder.

Two people are used for deployment and maintenance. We only have one system administrator and security team to support us on deployment.

We used the help of a consultant or integrator to install it and for the briefing on how to use it.

I have not seen any ROI using the solution.

The entire package is expensive. There is no extra cost in addition to the standard license.

The solution's stability has certain shortcomings that need improvement.

To others, I would like to say that they must know what they want to do before they embark on SharePoint.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

The most valuable feature of SharePoint Designer is the storing of files. In the Office 365 version, there is the capability to share files with others which is helpful. The files have cross versions capability. If the solution is shut down abruptly the file is stored on the system automatically.

The system can become slow which should be improved.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for a long time.

The solution can crash sometimes, this should improve. However, the reason could be the Microsoft operating system.

The implementation of SharePoint Designer can be difficult.

I rate SharePoint Designer a six out of ten.

When we want to do the configuration changes or customization on the SharePoint side, we do so using SharePoint Designer.

It's a very good tool when it comes to the modification of SharePoint back pages. We use a lot of the standard tools. 

It has helped us create some strong, beautiful websites for our organization.

The master page configuration is useful. 

The solution is reasonably priced.

It is scalable.

The solution has been stable.

The initial setup is not too complex. 

The integration with SharePoint online is missing certain features. 

It needs to align with PowerApps and Power Automate. 

I've used the solution since 2016. I've used it for about seven years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is scalable. The solution can extend well. 

Technical support is a bit tricky to talk about. We generally get support for Microsoft products in general, which is helpful. However, we've never needed help with this product.

The initial setup is very straightforward to set up. It's not complex at all. 

We have witnessed an ROI.

The pricing is reasonable overall. It's not too expensive. 

We have been using the 2016 version. 

I'd advise others to use SharePoint Designer if they value SharePoint. 

I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It has been very useful as a tool. 

We use this solution for web applications when we need to make changes to the pages and front end. We also use it to make changes to the html, design and the user experience. 40 people use this solution in our business. 

The drag and drop feature is the most useful feature when using this solution. In addition, it is a free solution that does not require a license. 

The downside is the different versions of SharePoint which means we need to have different designers as not all versions are compatible. 

In the future, we would like to have support for SharePoint online and the latest standards of UX. 

I've been using this solution since 2006.

I would rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. 

We use this product to build applications for our systems such as project management and training.

We appreciate the fact that this solution can provide us with an on-premises version, as due to our geographical location, we are not able to use cloud-based tools.

We would like to see an improvement in the stability and overall consistency of performance in this solution.

We would also like to have more step by step instructions on build and customization, so that those without a programming background can easily use the tool.

We have been working with this solution for nearly three years.

This is a generally stable solution, although we do tend to experience issues when we configure the transaction load.

The initial setup of this version was very simple and straightforward.

 I recommend this product to any organization who wants to have a nice framework for building their apps.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for collaborating on work. 

For web applications, you can use it to customize some of your designs for your website or your application. 

The one thing I just love is having a platform that is easy to collaborate on and see my work. It's easy to do, and I can even navigate without many technicalities. That's what I've been getting from it. It's easy to use. You can just play around with it and get things done. You get to get your output easier.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

It is stable and reliable.

The solution likely can scale, although I haven't tested its limits. 

We'd like it if we got less frequent updates. 

I've been using SharePoint for roughly a year now.

The solution is stable. It's very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable, and the performance is good. 

While I find it scalable, my use case is not something where I really use it on a large scale and enterprise level. I wouldn't be able to give a definite answer to scalability for large-scale operations.

I just use the product on a personal level. I don't have any large projects that are ongoing.

I've never reached out to technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

The solution is simple to set up. The fact is that most of the initial setup I didn't handle. I just had somebody who walked me through it and did the setup, and made it easy for me. I didn't need to go and research how to do this stuff. 

If you are a designer, you've likely looked at a few options, including, for example, Visual Studio.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I'd rate it six out of ten.
