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's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"SharePoint is smooth and easy to use for editing, updating, and uploading files."
"The SharePoint interface is adequate and also a little bit faster."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"The technical support process should be more streamlined as it usually involves contacting vendors and arranging calls for resolution."
"The product must provide more automation."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"It is not really better; we use the same solution as before with Google Drive and the Google App solution."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."

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…

What needs improvement with SharePoint?
