Ravi Raushan Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at ValueMomentum
Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured
SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

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."
"Sharing information is very easy in SharePoint. We use multiple types of documents, like online Excel tools and online content editing, especially for group editing. This allows us to collaborate, even in distributed teams. Despite being geographically spread out, everyone can access the same files online, edit them, and see changes. We also use SharePoint to track all these changes, making our teamwork more collaborative overall. The tool fastens information sharing and collaboration."
"With accessibility from a DMZ, SharePoint is a good solution for outside access."
"Valuable features in this product are: Easy customization with MS .NET and related tools, stability, performance in a medium size environment (100-200 users), and full support by MS."
"Feedback workflows ensure we don't miss someone when documents need reviewing and approval workflows make sure the right people are approving it, especially when there are new or temporary staff involved."
"Office 365 integration is most valuable thing in SharePoint."
"I think this represents the collective knowledge, which is highly valuable."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"Lists, documents, wiki pages and being able to create sites/subsites are valuable features."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"I have noticed in organizations I joined that they lock down SharePoint so much, there is very limited functionality."
"Due to the flexibility and power of the product, out of the box it can be daunting to use."
"Support is deficient. We depend on local vendors to get access to support and most of the issues we presented took more time to resolve that we wanted."
"I’ve personally experienced some difficulties in creating new pages, as this tool isn’t a web designer’s dream."
"SharePoint Designer enables creating workflows easily. However, they produce errors at times."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"The fact that it relies on the Internet and runs in a browser means it is bound to have performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is competitive."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"It is very expensive.​"
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."

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…
