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.

Based on my experience, I would recommend WordPress to other people.I would recommend WordPress because it is easy to use and more flexible than a SaaS website such as Wix.I have 10 plus years of experience with WordPress, but we do not implement it. I am an end user and have no relationship with WordPress.I rate WordPress overall a seven.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"The stability of SharePoint is high."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"The search feature is valuable."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its ease of use."
"We use WordPress on two different websites and it solves all of our website issues."
"I like the tool's plugins."
"The product provides capabilities to build modern websites and can be used for various aspects of services."
"As WordPress is such a popular product, there are many designers and developers available to work on projects."
"There are so many free plugins"
"It is easy to edit content using WordPress."
"I like how it integrates graphics and words, and more generally, the way people can develop the choices of spaces for different websites."
"This program has made it possible for our company to advertise all around the country, instead of keeping it local."
 

Cons

"The introduction of AI and automation with Copilot could be a beneficial improvement."
"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."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"The solution should improve its integration with other project management tools."
"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."
"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."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"I would recommend dumping the Gutenberg interface, as that is horrible."
"WordPress could use improvement in terms of optimization, especially for large websites with extensive databases and many images."
"The backend development process needs improvement."
"In WordPress, the user onboarding process is an area with complexities...there is no step-by-step explanation provided."
"A user may feel intimidated the first time he or she sees it."
"I would like to have the ability to customize the whole WordPress installation. WordPress comes with a number of core features. I would love to be able to remove those I'm not using at the moment."
"The basic product is becoming less usable by end users for site maintenance post delivery."
"WordPress needs to improve its usability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The platform has medium pricing."
"It is an open-source platform. It doesn't need any license."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month."
"WordPress is a free solution."
"The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform."
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"Regarding pricing, we have the flexibility to utilize certain themes and plugins across multiple websites for a single one-time cost. However, there are instances where themes come with only one activation key, limiting their use to a single website. Certain plugins and themes come with a significant cost, with the least expensive theme priced at around $120. Additionally, plugins typically range from $80 to $90 per year for a subscription. Consequently, it can be considered somewhat costly in this regard. Conversely, when it comes to WordPress, there is no expenditure involved."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
