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 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."
"Our accounts department's invoicing process has been optimized and this has helped us in saving a lot of time."
"As a portal, EDM platform for organizations, I think it is an excellent product."
"Office 365 integration is most valuable thing in SharePoint."
"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."
"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."
"We have generated a true document ID card, and metadata is easy to index in the research engine."
"Competitors are solidly in the market who offer better workflow, security, governance and collaboration."
"The best feature that I found for SharePoint was having a main point of contact for everyone involved."
"It is a good solution for the enterprise level."
 

Cons

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"The Arabic language text search ability needs to be improved."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"Improve the user-friendliness. Make it more intuitive."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"Technical support is poor. Microsoft makes it tough to get quality support."
"Microsoft seems to always be making changes."
"The navigation is confusing."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The pricing works for us."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

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…
