Principal Data Scientist at Tata Consultancy
Built-in integrations increase efficiency but cluster support requires improvement
On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments. Multiple instances need to be set up and configured. In the cloud environment, improvements are ongoing. The fallback and benefit assessment of the product suggest a need for a rating of seven or eight.
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

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"There are competitors out there, but there's a lot that Oracle Cloud offers outside of giving you just a basic database or basic infrastructure-as-a-service that add a lot of value to it."
"The best feature that I found for SharePoint was having a main point of contact for everyone involved."
"It's very high, I can't disclose exact figures, but it's a seven-figure number."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"Competitors are solidly in the market who offer better workflow, security, governance and collaboration."
"From my perspective, since I am a data professional and we have to keep a record of all the data as per our client's demand, SharePoint provides us a repository where we can keep all our data intact and updated."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"My advice is to not hesitate; just plunge in and implement SharePoint."
"Ease of use, ease of setup, ease of administration, ease of configuration, ease of customization... what's not to like?"
 

Cons

"I would like to see faster turnaround for provisioning new services."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"Ultimately SharePoint offers less than what you need for more than what you bargained."
"Document libraries and document management could be improved."
"The fact that it relies on the Internet and runs in a browser means it is bound to have performance issues."
"The user interface should improve. It is still a bit clunky for the new user to navigate around."
"For sure, it should offer customisation of data grids, which is not possible, as it seems to use some proprietary OCX control."
"Initial setup was complex for IT resources with a non-SharePoint background."
"I would rate Microsoft support a six out of 10, which I feel is a fair rating."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"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."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"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…
