SharePoint Designer Reviews

We primarily use it as a management system for an internal website accessible for collaboration within the organization.

I like the ability to directly share documents. I like this feature so much.

It's SharePoint 365, which is the Microsoft Suite that comes up for enterprise solutions. 

We are dealing with pervasive client-specific data.

One of the projects that I can mention here is that we created a platform for collecting data from many different clients, then collating that data, and then further analyzing it using statistical analysis on something. 

This particular tool was built on SharePoint so that the clients can enter their own data. We looked at many different other solutions, for example, the web solutions. That web solution would have taken a lot of time to develop, therefore, we used SharePoint, which was a handy tool.

The best part was that it could also be accessed by the client. It was an internal SharePoint tool that we created, and we got it opened for the different clients so that they can enter their own data by logging into our servers. That's how we collected the data from them. It was a three-month-long data collection process in which we did the analyses.

We like the highly customizable websites that you can build. For example, when we were building it for the client, we could design and customize it according to what the client wanted as that was the requirement so that they can access it and see their own logos and stuff, subsequently entering their own data. Customization is one of the best parts of it.

The data collection platform has value. So we had different kinds of access for different clients, and they could collaborate on one particular, for example, an Excel file uploaded on SharePoint. They enter their own data. Ten-odd people could access the same file, enter their own data, and save it on our servers. Collaboration is one of the other big things with SharePoint.

My job involves using SharePoint daily. It's like my online desktop. I have shared drives, documents, and most of my work stuff there.

It saved me a big time once! My car got broken into, and they took my laptop with all my files. But I didn't have to worry because everything was backed up on SharePoint. It was a lifesaver!

I'm using the solution for creating different sites in our organization. We also use it for a file repository mainly. 

It's provided us with a centralized document database that is available to all collaborators 24/7.

I played with the Designer, and it showed recommendations for the PPT style. It was very easy for me. I am very new to the design and it was easy to use, select, and design. There are several selections to design. Those who are new, like me, will find it helpful.

We primarily use the basic functions of SharePoint in our organization.

We create spreadsheets in Designer to collect data and integrate that with Power Apps and Power BI. We have about 50 or 60 users. 

Designer is easy to manage.

We are using it for the HR process. For example, we use it for personal leave, execution, and many things in HR. We create the forms and custom workflows and integrate them with Nintex workflows to automate the process. 

We also integrate this database with the Oracle 12C. It's a centralized database. After the flow or the workflow is done and approved, and there are many layers of approval, it'll go to Oracle. Basically, we integrate SharePoint with Oracle 12C.

SharePoint is great for content management of data. It makes our life easier.

Integrating SharePoint with other platforms is very useful. I can integrate SharePoint with Oracle and I can integrate Oracle with many databases. This makes our life here easier.

The initial setup was pretty easy.

The support on offer is helpful. 

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.
