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."
"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 keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"It improved transparency around work products."
"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

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…
