The ability to have duplicate document names is very useful for content migration. During trouble-shooting you will discover that the logs are all over the place.
During trouble-shooting you will discover that the logs are all over the place - even on servers you would not expect - and fragmented into dozens of files, yet the detail is excellent. It's Java execution logs, so needs a bit of interpretation skill, though. Speaking of Java, the web interface requires JRE and degrades in mysterious ways without it: No warnings or graceful fall-back. The web UI is otherwise VERY awkward and limited in functionality. The Windows client on the other hand is extremely dated but rich in functionality - not pretty, though. Despite the API, there is no vendor support for integration into any other systems except through HTML frames.

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 ability to have duplicate document names is very useful for content migration."
"This has allowed our organization to start moving away from manual and non-standard practices, to more repeatable procedures."
"The latest versions of SharePoint are highly useful for configuring pages for managing and conveying large amounts of information, while giving users the ability to pinpoint the specific things they need with speed and accuracy."
"For a medium to large scale business, it is excellent."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing or information sharing."
"Regarding the best features in SharePoint, the accessibility part of it is great; we don't need to do the coding from zero scratch, which we really appreciate."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"Feedback workflows ensure we don't miss someone when documents need reviewing and approval workflows make sure the right people are approving it, especially when there are new or temporary staff involved."
 

Cons

"Upgrades can be nightmares, partly because there can be architecture and engine changes in minor version increments."
"The problem is IT departments that don't understand the solution start in the wrong direction, which can lead to reinstalls and other interruptions because of the initial configuration."
"Co-authoring needs to be real time."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"The stability of SharePoint needs improvement, because once you start to get a large amount of data, it becomes very unwieldy, and it takes a long time to index."
"SharePoint Designer enables creating workflows easily. However, they produce errors at times."
"Unless you have worked with a SharePoint business analyst, designer or power user, managing individual sites does require training to understand the components of the site settings and content."
"It does too many things and some of them seem impossible to set up."
"The interface is not all that great, but other than that, there's not much to say because it's a pretty simple tool and I don't have high expectations for it to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is competitive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

"The platform has medium pricing."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."

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…
