SharePoint Designer Reviews

The solution's best feature is designing workflow processing. It's easy to change and collate workflows.

The solution has limitations when it comes to exploration.

The web services aspect of the solution is very weak.

If the requirements are moderate, the solution is okay, but for more complex requirements, I need to use the solution in combination with other solutions. It doesn't offer everything I need.

The stability is okay but limited.

The scalability is okay but limited.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We're using the SharePoint 2000 version.

The solution makes the work of estimating the requirements pretty difficult. Mainly, it is a very useful tool I can use for small to medium requirements.

If you're new to the solution, be aware that Sharepoint can be challenging, so you need to be ready to learn the solution in order to fully use it. Sharepoint involves coding; it's not like other solutions that offer zero coding. Organizations considering implementing it should be made aware of this.

If you are considering implementing it, I'd take the time to compare it to what you already have and any other options you are considering so that you are able to choose the solution that will work best for you. There are a lot of features now that are actually offered by competitors.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. If you were talking about the 2016 version, I'd give it a seven out of ten, but the 2013 version I would rate a six.

We primarily use the it as a creative solution for document management.

The document filing system is the solution's most valuable feature. We have used SharePoint as an option for a document managed system, like Documentum and IBM Filenet.

I believe Microsoft does not support Sharepoint on-premises. They only support Sharepoint on the Cloud. They should provide for both options and let the client choose their preference.

The solution should have a better workflow with the craft, and also offer some configurations to help drive workflow.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

There are other solutions on the market. Some are more usable than Sharepoint.

SharePoint Online is a collaborative tool. For example, if you need your coworkers to collaborate on a particular task or project SharePoint Online can be used to store your information in terms of the SharePoint list. Additionally, you can add your document or physical files there. If you need to build any kind of custom workflows or custom requirements for your business, you have the ability to do it in this solution.

I am a developer, and whatever is not possible with the SharePoint default feature, we make custom features available for our clients. Anything which is not possible using all the methods within the solution we can customize.

SharePoint Online is not only a SharePoint standalone, but they have integrated it with other Microsoft services, such as Microsoft BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate. We can deliver any business solution using other Microsoft service, which is collaborative with SharePoint.

SharePoint have their own roadmaps, with the new features that they're coming out which is informative.

Microsoft has invested in SharePoint heavily in terms of UI, stability, performance. It is a very good solution.

SharePoint Online should continue to integrate with other solutions.

I have been using SharePoint Online for approximately 10 years.

The stability of SharePoint Online is good.

The support we have from Microsoft has been good.

I would rate the support from Microsoft a ten out of ten.

SharePoint Online has a subscription-based model for payments and the price is based on user usage.

I would rate the price of SharePoint an eight out of ten.

I didn't get a chance to explore other solutions because when I started my career, it was always SharePoint. If we were not using SharePoint, all the other options seemed to be more costly. For example, integration.

When I compare SharePoint with open source solutions, we don't have difficulties managing the operation because it's subscription-based and everything Microsoft takes care of, such as security.

SharePoint Online has been retired and we now use SharePoint Online.

I strongly recommend this solution. If you have a Microsoft account or Office 365 account, many of the customers don't know that it has a SharePoint within. If they know it, they can manage most of their internal work through it. Having the portal allows the user to manage everything. If they have Office 365 subscription, they should invest in SharePoint because it is available for them free of cost if they have their own subscription to Office 365. However, it is now hidden in the application.

Sharepoint is a good solution and they are working towards more integration with other solutions and tools that can enable developers.

I rate SharePoint Online an eight out of ten.

The interface of SharePoint Designer could be improved, such as in SAP.

I am using SharePoint Designer now and have only used it for a short time.

SharePoint Designer is stable.

We have only recently deployed the solution, I am not able to give much information on the scalability.

We have approximately 200 users using this solution in my organization and we plan to increase usage.

I have not needed to use technical support.

We have used another solution previously and we switched because SharePoint Designer requires less maintenance.

SharePoint Designer is easy to deploy and it is one of the most valuable features. The whole process took a couple of days and it is easy to work on.

We used our own team for the implementation of the solution.

We have one person that handles the maintenance of the solution.

We have received a return on investment.

SharePoint Designer is less expensive than other solutions we have used. We purchased Office 365 which SharePoint comes with the package.

I rate SharePoint Designer an eight out of ten.

The basic functionality the solution makes it easy to share documents or information with the team. 

SharePoint is not a great product. It can be much better in many ways. 

The collaboration tools for editing do not work right and malfunction often.

It has a lot of bugs. It's also not very convenient. The UX/UI is not very user-friendly and not designed to be similar to other applications from Microsoft. 

The management functionality should be much easier. 

The dialogue with end users needs improvement. If you are a manager of SharePoint, sometimes it's hard to know what exactly the user would like to have. There should be more intelligent services or features available, which would make it easier for end users. 

There are many bugs in the solution, so I don't think it's extremely stable.

Although I'm not in charge of scaling the solution, I've heard it's not very easy to expand the capacity.

I've never contacted Microsoft directly, as our enterprise has its own internal support.

I didn't do the initial implementation, but I set up the team functionality, and that part of the setup was not easy.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd rate the solution three out of ten.

I use this solution for site development.

The most valuable feature is the development.

This solution could definitely be made easier to use.

This solution runs alright.

The technical support for this solution is fair. It's ok.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

This solution is free of charge.

This product basically has all of the features that I need, but there is no such thing as a perfect solution.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for modifying SharePoint.

The most valuable part of the solution is its ability to allow for a high degree of customization.

Many aspects of the solution need improvement. It does not make use of modern deployment. You should also be able to separate your concerns between the code and the environment. It should become a development environment rather than a customization tool.

Recently, the stability of the solution has been okay. The later versions have been better.

The solution is not scalable at all.

In terms of advice I would give to others considering implementing the solution, I would say they should adopt the SharePoint Framework and do it with Visual Studio.

I'd rate the solution three out of ten.

Our primary use is for file sharing on our intranet, as well as on the internet. We also develop internet applications.

The management and monitoring features are good.

The pricing is a little bit high and can be reduced. If we could pay for a single license that covers the whole organization then it would be better than paying fees based on the size of our user base.

We have been using SharePoint Designer for more than five years.

We haven't had any issues with technical support.

The cost of the license is based on the size of the user base.

In summary, this product allows our developers to do what they want to do.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
