Our end users find great value in building team workspaces to collaborate not only with internal employees, but with third-party consultants and customers as required.
Having one centralized collaboration space to bring all employees together has been quite beneficial for our organization as we have 120+ remote locations in rural areas with slower internet connections. This allows head office and regional office users to share documents with those remote users as shared network drives are not an option.

Streamlined collaboration through seamless integration and customization

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
 

Cons

"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"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."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
