An Easy to use tool for brainstorming and planning, compatible with Microsoft Project
This solution works well enough. One can always dream up certain things that may or may not be worth implementing in a piece of software because some other people might have some other better priorities that make more sense. But I would say for what I need it to do, I'm okay. My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful. I am pretty sure that the functionality it has today has more modern methodologies than what I use, but for me, it has been very useful and I have kept using it all of this time. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

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

"The most valuable feature is being able to export to Microsoft Project."
"My advice to others is to get it, and use it! It's very good and useful."
"The metadata map provides operational navigation to complete business processes."
"Its functionality is enormous."
"For a medium to large scale business, it is excellent."
"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."
"SharePoint has streamlined many processes and provided additional organization for our company."
"The document library feature in this product is most valuable."
"It has improved our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"Yes, especially reducing the print paper and having a very quick response, and reducing the time between department and people."
"Using this product, one can benefit from OOB features in regards to content and document management, and it provides a single platform where multiple applications can be integrated under one roof."
 

Cons

"I don't know what the pricing is at now, but at the time the price hike upset me to the point that I stopped upgrading."
"The SQL based database connectivity and data access for analysis and reporting, both need some attention."
"Since I have been using such an old version, most of the improvements have already been made, but I would suggest moving forward with the times and creating a cloud-based solution for universal access."
"When used with large data, SharePoint may produce performance degradation; that requires some optimization and tweaks."
"It would be nice if the platform made it easier to implement a complete document management process (digitalization, OCR, protocols, etc.) without the need to integrate software from different vendors."
"SharePoint Designer enables creating workflows easily. However, they produce errors at times."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"While working with SharePoint, I observed that if the number of files is too much, the upload time, management time, and search time consume a lot of time during the initial phase."
"We did have stability issues in the old versions and there were too many hotfixes, in the 2013 version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was very good in the beginning, then the price increased from USD $99.00 to USD $249.00, then I stopped upgrading because what I needed was already there."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"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…
