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

"Our accounts department's invoicing process has been optimized and this has helped us in saving a lot of time."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"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 most valuable facet of SharePoint is the content, the ideas, all the information, all in one content management system."
"Easy management of content and portal and the document repository features are a distinguishing point compared to a file server."
"For enterprise global collaboration, DMS, and ECM needs, this is the right platform."
"It has improve our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"SharePoint Search improved document searchability from different sources like file systems and Office 365."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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 offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
 

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."
"The documentation can be improved, so it is easier to use for non-technical people."
"SharePoint Online is excellent as is, but licensing for the on-premises version is expensive."
"For example, if you installed SharePoint on a virtual machine with dynamic memory, it could destroy the farm without any possibility of repairing it."
"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."
"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."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"There are some limitations on storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"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."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
