Learn more about Microsoft SharePoint

Pros:

The ease of managing files and folders with high volume data. To be able to manage sharing of files easily with relevant people makes the app good value for money.

Cons:

I also really dislike that when I want to share a "forced copy" of a document to a client, so the client can just make his/her own copy, I am unable to do so.

Robust foundations

4.0 7 months ago

Comments: Very good and easy to use platform to develop many workflows, co-working spaces and to store documents

Pros:

A great platform for collaboration, presentation, intranet, automation / digitalization of business processes, which is basically "free" as part of the preset of the vast majority of companies using MS 365

Cons:

The simplicity of use and deployment has its price in not too much flexibility to customize the final look, which is simply ... standard

Daily team collaboration in a shared approach using Microsoft’s SharePoint

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: I have been using for 4+ years . This tool is very much a part of the daily routine at all the organisations I have worked for. Mostly I use it to track the progress of the tasks, the automation test cases written. I share my progress along with my team members, Product manager, technical manager. This helps in tracking my goals and tasks done. Overall a positive experience

Pros:

I really like the real time collaboration idea, Microsoft sharepoint introduces. We can actually share links of same document and collaborate. This helps in tracking team information may be related to tasks, leaves, etc. I also like the Single sign on it has, prevents me from logging in again and again. It is simple, easy to learn and very comprehensive

Cons:

The mobile experience of this platform has scope of improvement. The costing is slightly on the higher side. Customisation of the UI is limited, can be improved.

SharePoint, does so much, but forgot a couple things.

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: It's just incredibly easy to use, but the drawbacks it has are silly and makes it feel like it's 90% baked.

Pros:

It's honestly currently the easiest way to share files on the Internet while having very strong customization options. The fact that I can share a file, prevent it's download and give an expiration timer in the same tool I use to host my data is huge.

Cons:

The over-reliance on SharePoint as a solution by Microsoft. Share files on teams? Thats SharePoint. Save to OneDrive? That's also SharePoint. Share a file link with a friend from excel or other Microsoft suite tools? Yep, SharePoint. There's also a severe lack of tools on power automate for SharePoint integration. Why can't I rename a file while moving it on SharePoint?

A must for team files

5.0 last month New

Pros:

Easy to use with a short learning curve. Works well for team collaboration and removes makes it easy to control access to files.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of with any substance. I mean, it would be nice if there was a bit more flexibility in how I can design the page, but that's a small thing.

Pros:

File management works so well, makes managing them as a team very easy.

Microsoft SharePoint helps get and keep you organized.

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: We switched from Google Docs to Microsoft SharePoint and haven't looked back. It is has been a much better choice for our company. It feels more seamless and organized.

Pros:

I like that Microsoft SharePoint allows the company to view, share and edit documents.

Cons:

I find that most of the things that were difficult for us in Microsoft SharePoint is user error more than the product itself.

SharePoint - the Best Document Management Program

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: I've used it all day every day for the past 15 years.

Pros:

SharePoint does everything I need to maintain and securely store my documents: backups, version control, search and retrieval.

Cons:

I don't like that I have to page through my document libraries instead of being able to jump forward or backwards. For example, it would be good to jump to the documents by the first letter of the document's name.

Microsoft SharePoint: A Central Hub for a Microsoft Workshop

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall, the experience with Microsoft SharePoint has been good. It serves as a place to manage multiple Microsoft platforms, from planning, to document storage, to Power BI. I could not imagine working in a Microsoft Workspace without it.

Pros:

Microsoft SharePoint is a central source for curating content for external and internal stakeholders in the Microsoft 365 environment. It has served me and my team well in becoming our team site and initial landing space for business developments.

Cons:

To fully embrace Microsoft SharePoint, means embracing the Microsoft Workshop. Depending on your permission, you may be able to connect to other platforms but the workaround may not be worth it.

Great tool for files sharing on your project

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with Microsoft SharePoint has been mixed. It’s a powerful tool for document management and collaboration, with excellent integration into the Microsoft ecosystem. However, its complexity and occasional performance issues can make it challenging to use effectively without proper training or support.

Pros:

Centralized document storage and sharing, seamless integration with Microsoft Office, customizable workflows, version control, and robust collaboration features.

Cons:

Complex setup and maintenance, steep learning curve, occasional performance issues, and limited flexibility for non-Microsoft integrations.

Microsoft SharePoint a multipurpose application.

Pros:

Plugins to other microsoft products, supports linking and embedding

Cons:

Not very intuituive to navigate for users or build within it for admins

Microsoft SharePoint Is a Great App.

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: The software has a user-friendly interface and intuitive features that make it easy to navigate and perform tasks.

Pros:

The software has helped me a lot in sharing important documents and submissions easily and can be accessed easily by the end party. Overall, the software is well balanced, and it has great features.

Cons:

The software is excellent and meets most of my needs, but it could improve on some aspects, such as:  The modified folder doesn't have any choices to save my previous settings for each folder.  Another con is that if I open the notebook, there is no option to go back directly to the SharePoint interface. You need to go back to App Launcher and open from there, where it is very inconvenient if you are in a hurry to do things quickly.

One of the most handy organizational tools at the office

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: SharePoint has saved me a lot of valuable time throughout my career through hosting of reports and projects.

Pros:

Hosting of projects which users can access and view from anywhere at any time, hosting eliminates emailing project work or presentation to a distribution list, ease of use.

Cons:

Took a long time to get to know all of the useful ins and outs because there's so much functionality, but have been using for years so no problem at all.

It's our resources hub for users.

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: It has fostered a more connected and collaborative work environment. It has improved communication, streamlined information sharing, and empowered employees to access the resources they need to do their jobs effectively.

Pros:

SharePoint has become the central hub for our organization's intranet, connecting employees, departments, and information seamlessly. I love the ability to create team sites, share documents, manage workflows, and build custom applications to meet our specific needs. The integration with other Microsoft 365 apps enhances collaboration and streamlines our daily work.

Cons:

Although SharePoint offers powerful features, the initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex, requiring some technical expertise and planning.

Sharepoint is best suited for collaboration and file storage

4.0 4 months ago

When multiple users are working on the same file in SharePoint there is always sync issues and one of the user has to close the file before the other user can save his progress

Sharepoint the DMS you need

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: My overall impression of sharepoint is that this system can be used very well and versatile. Due to the easy customizability, business processes can also be mapped and even various release processes.

Pros:

The integration with all other microsoft 365 products is amazing. Because everything is connected, cross-refrences can be created and linked directly. Furthermore, the link with entraid makes it possible to include a good authorization concept.

Cons:

The admin interface is currently still a bit outdated, but it is not a blocker.

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Really positive experience using SharePoint

Pros:

Having everything in one place, quick links to regularly visited sites. Staff had there own individual folders that tutor could access to find lesson plans

Cons:

Nothing to be honest, a minute things that I wasn’t able to set it up as my home page but that was most likely due to my computer.
