Ravi Raushan Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at ValueMomentum
Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured
SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

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."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"SharePoint is smooth and easy to use for editing, updating, and uploading files."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"What makes SharePoint special is that it applies to a wide range of company scenarios; document management, knowledge management, project management, and records management."
"Collaboration with other Microsoft products has made SharePoint a real tool for us."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing or information sharing."
"The solution is cost-effective and has a perpetual license per environment."
"For all-around capabilities that include not just document management, workflows, calendar, task management, blogging, calendars and overall business process management, we deemed SharePoint as the best overall."
 

Cons

"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."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"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."
"Technical support is bad, as the support is for all other Microsoft products."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"Replication needs improvement."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"There are multiple areas with room for improvement: Scanning engine driver, mobile integration (just launched by MS, yet to be seen), stability."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"Searching for information appears based on Bing and that is utterly useless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"It is very expensive.​"
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
