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 enterprise global collaboration, DMS, and ECM needs, this is the right platform."
"The solution is cost-effective and has a perpetual license per environment."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"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."
"SharePoint is a great document management tool."
"There are a lot of valuable features (e.g., ease of use, collaboration, integration with LDAP, security, accessibility, stability, etc.)."
"The initial configuration was straightforward and the online support documentation is well written and easy to follow."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"For sure, it should offer customisation of data grids, which is not possible, as it seems to use some proprietary OCX control."
"Mobile rendering is not up to the mark."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"It would be nice if the editing and setting up of SharePoint were more user-friendly, so I do not have to have an expert to deal with it."
"For the most part, the tool is useable, but there are many end users who still find it difficult overall."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"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."
"The pricing works for us."
"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…
