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

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

What needs improvement with SharePoint?
