Senior Market Research Analyst at IDC Corporate
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.

Easy to store information and maintan workflow but we use QlikView for reporting because built in reporting is poor.
Workflow Reorganized the workflow for purchase invoice. My customer uses version 6, I haven't seen the new one. If it hasn't yet been upgraded in the new version, I feel that the interface can be improved to be more windows like. Since 2008 We didn't have any deployment issues. While version 5…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"The best feature that I found for SharePoint was having a main point of contact for everyone involved."
"The stability of SharePoint is high."
"Information is much more readily available."
"SharePoint manages version control, which makes it easier to track and amend documentation accurately, maintaining document integrity and enabling quick recovery if necessary."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"I think that SharePoint is the best on the market in terms of stability, quality and capability."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"We didn't experience any issues with the initial setup, it was easy."
 

Cons

"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"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."
"The cloud-local file synchronization application (OneDrive for Business) is not as simple as expected, but it works."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"The user interface, although extensible, leaves much to the imagination when compared to modern websites."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"Customer Service: 5/10. The supplier is slow to answer but now it's better with a self employed consultant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"The pricing is competitive."

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…
