Collaboration has improved through simplified document access and controlled sharing
SharePoint is definitely used to keep a record of our files and data. The capability is quite good because it is time-saving. I have used it only four or five times, but it has been very helpful to keep all my information in a consolidated manner. The search feature is one of the most beneficial factors that we use to filter out the latest data or the latest file as per our convenience and use case. When you have a large repository, this feature is particularly valuable. Role-based access control has been helpful while developing the knowledge platform. The roles were defined clearly, which made it easy for the four or five of us to work simultaneously and collaborate on our project in a similar manner.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure."
"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"I rate it a ten."
"The best feature that I found for SharePoint was having a main point of contact for everyone involved."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"The complete granularity of being able to apply permissions at collection, site, library, list, folder, and doc set levels give ultimate flexibility."
"SharePoint integrates well with the Team Foundation Server and provides collaboration features for team members on a TFS Team Project."
"It's very stable; I call it a multifunctional document system because you can do a lot of things with it, and it's just incredible how much we have been able to automate a few steps that people had to do thanks to the integration with other Office products."
"We have taken advantage of the list features extensively and the ability to clone subsites, and the creation of lists and the ability to tie lists together has made my job and other different department’s jobs easier."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"SharePoint Designer enables creating workflows easily. However, they produce errors at times."
"Special implementation and development should be easy."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"The initial setup was somewhat complex."
"Advise users to update the content."
"The user experience is very poor."
"Search integration across SharePoint, Yammer, Teams, and OneDrive."
"The editing tools are still not up to par with all the existing hi-tech and GUI editing tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The pricing is competitive."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
