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."
"SharePoint is a great document management tool."
"This has allowed our organization to start moving away from manual and non-standard practices, to more repeatable procedures."
"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."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"The lists handling is perfect, and any kind of content linked to them is very easy to publish."
"The security feature is valuable."
"It is a good tool that makes managing projects and teams much easier, with all documents and calendars in one central location."
"The initial setup of SharePoint is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"Workflow is something that can become more intelligent."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"I'm trying to get the knowledge bit by bit, so I'm losing the idea of the whole product, e.g. SharePoint is losing its essence."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"There are multiple areas with room for improvement: Scanning engine driver, mobile integration (just launched by MS, yet to be seen), stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing works for us."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"It is very expensive.​"

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
