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 reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."
"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 product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"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."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"This product has allowed us to coordinate the efforts of individual groups, as well as different groups that need to interact for specific projects/processes."
"It has improved our productivity to a great extent with its great collaboration features."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"It's very stable; I call it a multifunctional document system because you can do a lot of things with it, and it's just incredible how much we have been able to automate a few steps that people had to do thanks to the integration with other Office products."
"Overall, since I started using SharePoint, I have seen benefits for sure."
 

Cons

"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"I would like to see faster turnaround for provisioning new services."
"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."
"Technical support was not as good as expected. Sometimes request took upwards of three business days."
"Setting up permissions can be overwhelming. If this can be improved it would be great."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"Customer Service: It's poor, and if you want Microsoft support on SharePoint you have to hire Microsoft Consulting Services."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"We need the storage of the files, the documents right now are in the database. Maybe SharePoint has to improve the capability to store the information in file systems."
"It would be nice if the platform made it easier to implement a complete document management process (digitalization, OCR, protocols, etc.) without the need to integrate software from different vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"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…
