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.

Pros

"We use Huddle to store important team files, and with a dispersed team, we set permissions on files that are relevant to each team, helping us keep files up to date and streamline projects."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"Ease of use, ease of setup, ease of administration, ease of configuration, ease of customization... what's not to like?"
"SharePoint 2013 had a better and cleaner user interface that has appealed to more users."
"The most valuable features to our organization are the ability to store and share documents across the entire corporation, and the ability to use workflows."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"I think the navigation from project to project could be improved, but other than that, nothing I would add."
"Stability, even after deployment three months ago, still seems to be an issue."
"I would like to see the following: More freedom given to a power user Feature development on a site collection level without the need for farm-level rights"
"I would rate Microsoft support a six out of 10, which I feel is a fair rating."
"Setting up permissions can be overwhelming. If this can be improved it would be great."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"The interface is not all that great, but other than that, there's not much to say because it's a pretty simple tool and I don't have high expectations for it to improve."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"The stability of SharePoint needs improvement, because once you start to get a large amount of data, it becomes very unwieldy, and it takes a long time to index."
