FileCloud vs Microsoft Office SharePoint Server comparison

"Since using FileCloud, we have saved approximately 40% of the time it previously took to access data because we can retrieve information at any time with an internet connection."

"My main use case for FileCloud is that I love it because it's a very secure content collaboration platform that provides compliance, data governance, data leak protection, data retention, and digital rights management capability."

"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."

"FileCloud has been a very positive experience overall."

"I decided to switch from OneDrive to FileCloud because FileCloud offers advantages over all the cloud products I have used, as it is more cost-effective, fast, and reliable, with unparalleled security compared to other alternatives, and it is very easy to use, allowing us to access our server and retrieve our files with ease."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very usable. I can navigate it, I can have a media call, I can have a call with my project team, so we can chat with every team kind of like WhatsApp. Any time there are projects or other things, we can chat in a secure way. It's automation-specific secure."

"The most valuable features for us are their document management list and hybrid forms. and We also use third party ad-dons to achieve workflows and other recent apps."

"The support from Microsoft is very quick and they are very proactive."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Communication Site."

"The software is friendly to use for mixing data and analyzing it."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."

"Microsoft Office SharePoint Server's document management significantly improves collaboration within my organization."

"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."

"However, one area that it should improve is that the updates need to be more constant, especially to the file drive."

"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."

"The requirement to uninstall and reinstall after every other update is time-consuming and should be addressed."

"I would suggest that the cost could be reduced to give smaller organizations a chance to afford this tool."

"The price can be a little higher for smaller organizations, but for medium to large enterprises, the price is very cost-effective and affordable."

"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."

"Regarding the setup for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I have to rate it lower, maybe a seven out of 10, as it is a little bit more complex and not so easy to use in some use cases."

"The product is behind in development and lacks some features."

"The areas around security, such as protection, need to be included."

"The search feature needs improvement. I can never find the information I need when I use it."

"The ability to preview files in different formats should be expanded to include formats such as embedded postscript (EPS), AutoCAD, and Adobe Acrobat PDF."

"Workflows could be simplified."

"The solution needs to be more collaborative. I believe they are just coming up with the themes for this right now."

"One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost. With the on premise version, you pay for the license once. For the cloud version, there is a recurring fee. It is very expensive. They expect everyone to pay $20 or $30 per user per month."

"It can be expensive for on-premises deployments, especially when you have to support SQL Server as your backend database. That's where the cost comes into play. SQL Server has its own licensing, which Microsoft keeps on changing. Therefore, it can become costly. In the earlier versions of SharePoint, version 2007 or 2010, they had an express version where the SQL Server licensing was free. It wasn't like a full-blown SharePoint. It was only a slimmed-down version. It used to be whatever your hardware costs. You would install the free software and work with it, but you were very limited in what you could do in SharePoint. If you wanted the SharePoint Enterprise Server with all the bells and whistles, then you had to pay more to get the SQL Server license based on the number of users or servers. The subscription model is different for cloud deployments. Licensing is per user and per month. The cost also depends on the storage required. If you have a lot of sites or documents, then you need to expand it based on your needs."

"There are some aggressive discounts offered by Microsoft for organizations that are not for profit, which we are, and it makes it quite attractive to consider."

"Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."
