Collaborative work benefits while user-friendliness challenges persist
The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its user interface, which is very easy to use. I do not have to be very technical to use it. Its rights management capabilities and ability to restrict access to certain people are also very useful. Furthermore, I can access SharePoint from any device, whether it is a phone or laptop, which is very convenient.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint include the ability to co-edit documents in the Office suite, particularly Excel and Word."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"It is very stable."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
 

Cons

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"The navigation is confusing."
"​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.​"
"The technical support from Microsoft for SharePoint is often slow and rated a three out of ten."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"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."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is very expensive.​"
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
