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."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"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."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"Regarding the best features in SharePoint, the accessibility part of it is great; we don't need to do the coding from zero scratch, which we really appreciate."
"I rate it a ten."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"SharePoint is not always intuitive to use and can be overwhelming for non-tech-savvy users."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"I have been facing some challenges when using SharePoint, as the workflows freeze at times, so there is a maintenance activity which needs to be done periodically."
"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
