SharePoint Designer Reviews

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 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.

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.

We use SharePoint Designer for our intranet knowledge management portal and training portal.

The most valuable feature of SharePoint Designer is document management.

SharePoint Designer could improve most in analytics and reporting.

In a future release, SharePoint Designer can improve by implementing a headless solution, where we can create pages without headers.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for approximately 10 years.

SharePoint Designer is stable.

The scalability of SharePoint Designer is good.

The support from SharePoint Designer is very good. When we have an issue they responded quickly and look into the situation.

I rate the support from SharePoint Designer a five out of five.

The initial setup of SharePoint Designer is simple. The full implementation of the solution took years because we slowly made changes over time.

I rate the initial setup of SharePoint Designer a four out of five.

We are using an enterprise SharePoint Designer license. 

SharePoint Designer is the best solution we have. We don't see any alternative as of now. For intranet and knowledge management purposes this is the best solution. It has great integration with Office products.

I rate SharePoint Designer a ten out of ten.

SharePoint Designer is used for reporting and storing files in SharePoint. Additionally, we have other applications in there, like Power Automate.

We mostly used this solution for file storage and basic functions, etcetera.

Microsoft could include more applications in this. And if more applications are included, then it can be scalable that way.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for one year. I currently use the latest version.

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

I would rate scalability a nine out of ten. There are more than 10,000 users using this solution in our organization.

We have possible plans to increase the usage.

The initial setup is straightforward. Actually, it's just a system to create profiles, and it has applications. So that's all.

The solution comes with Microsoft 365 itself.

It's a Microsoft product, so it will need licensing. 

I would definitely recommend using this solution, it's useful to store the data and files.

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

Our company uses the solution for site creation on the collaboration side. We create sites and integrate collaboration components, layers, and forums. 

The solution tightly integrates with all other collaboration tools.

The solution effectively helps with list storage, document storage, and document libraries. 

Outlook and MS Teams are integrated with the solution and that is very useful for enterprise customers. 

The record management and digital signature sides need improvement because we still need to rely on other third-party tools. 

I have been using the solution for five to six years. 

We do not use any other solutions. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

One of our use cases of SharePoint is designing and branding our content management system. When somebody buys an intranet portal, like a content management system, for employees or a document management system for their company, they can buy SharePoint and use it to change the branding. Microsoft gives you default features—out-of-the-box—so if you want any changes regarding your identity, HTML, CSS, colors, or brand guidelines, then SharePoint Designer can help you to complete that task. SharePoint Designer can also be used to clear workflows. This is a tool which helps us brand the SharePoint portal and our flow sites. 

In the beginning, SharePoint was deployed on-premises, but now it is deployed on the cloud, so we are always using the latest version. 

One of the most valuable features is that it's free. If you have SharePoint and you want to do some branding, then the only tool available is SharePoint Designer. Microsoft gives the portal, the content management system, and, on top of that, it gives you Designer. So we don't have a choice, but Designer is good. 

SharePoint Designer could be improved by being more user-friendly. I think that they have a new release, but the focus is on Power Automate, not Designer. Designer's interface is somewhat classical, but it should be more user-friendly. 

Designer should contain more features. Right now, we are doing the development of web parts on Visual Studio and doing the branding on Designer. If it were possible to merge them both into one tool, it would be easier. 

I have been using SharePoint Designer for 13 years. 

There is no maintenance team necessary. Users can maintain it by themselves because Designer is a tool which can be deployed on each PC to work on. 

In our organization, we have around eight to ten people who are developing on SharePoint Designer. We don't currently have plans to increase usage, but it depends. We are a project delivering company, and I am a project manager, so our SharePoint usage is on a project-based development. If we have a client we need to use SharePoint for, we may increase the usage, but otherwise we won't. 

In 13 years, we have raised tickets two or three times. They don't call us, but when we raise tickets, then the issues can be resolved. 

We also use Visual Studio from Microsoft to develop the programs for SharePoint. Designer is only for branding and workflows, but you have to use Visual Studio to actually develop the portal components and web parts. Visual Studio should be used with SharePoint. 

The installation of Designer is very simple, and it doesn't take more than 30 minutes. You can download and install it yourself. 

There is no licensing cost for Designer—it's free. 

I rate SharePoint Designer a six out of ten. There were some bugs, but when you are working on SharePoint, you have to recommend SharePoint Designer, for sure. 

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.
