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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"​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.​"
"The navigation is confusing."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
