| Network Administrator at Letshego | 4.5 | I primarily use SharePoint Designer for managing an internal website for organizational collaboration. I appreciate the document sharing feature but feel the setup process could be improved. Previously, I used WordPress personally, and I deploy on Microsoft Azure. |
| Manager at Bain & Company | 4.5 | No summary available |
| Planner at Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation | 4.5 | I use SharePoint daily for my work and find it invaluable, especially when my laptop was stolen and all my files were securely backed up. However, the user interface could be improved for easier navigation and use. |
| Digital Lead at Baker Tilly | 4.0 | I use SharePoint Designer for creating sites and file repositories within our organization. Its stability, easy file sharing, and simple setup are valuable. I see no need for additional features and haven't considered other solutions. |
| CSV at Agilent Technologies, Inc. | 4.0 | I found SharePoint Designer easy to use, especially for PPT style recommendations which were beneficial as a novice. It's convenient for design tasks, though security features need improvement for better protection. It's a useful tool for small companies. |
| Lean Manager at GrupoPhoenix | 4.5 | We use SharePoint Designer to create spreadsheets, integrate them with Power Apps and Power BI, and manage these processes easily with about 50 or 60 users. While we find it effective, the user interface could be more user-friendly. We previously used Excel and have seen a return on investment. Our deployment is via Microsoft Azure. |
| Senior Sharepoint Developer at Zak Solutions for Computer Systems | 4.5 | No summary available |
| Office 365 Administrator/IBM Notes Administrator at a retailer with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | Our organization's intranet uses SharePoint Designer, which has numerous applications. However, I find the tool itself lacks intuitiveness, which could be improved. I didn't explore other solutions or use a cloud provider for deployment. |
