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."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"It has helped us collapse all our versions into a single file."
"We used to employ Oracle UCM, but we replaced it because of the features provided in SharePoint along with the customizations, flexibility and ease of creating websites, workflows, pages and applications."
"The most valuable features are its ease of integration and customization."
"It has improved our productivity to a great extent with its great collaboration features."
"Improved collaboration through multi-user document editing capabilities."
"Single window information sharing."
"Co-editing of documents enables teams to work on the same document and the work gets done faster."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The search functionality could be improved, especially when dealing with 'lift' lists, where there are performance issues."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products."
"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
"The cloud-local file synchronization application (OneDrive for Business) is not as simple as expected, but it works."
"Primarily, the mobile experience is wanting in SharePoint 2010."
"In Brazil and India, I thought technical support was really poor."
"It's Microsoft; empty your pockets. Seriously, if you obtain SharePoint under one of their blanket licensing agreements you really need to pay attention to the terms and conditions, especially if your acquisition is part of Office 365."
"SharePoint Online is excellent as is, but licensing for the on-premises version is 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…
