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.

Cons

"The navigation is confusing."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"It would be nice if the editing and setting up of SharePoint were more user-friendly, so I do not have to have an expert to deal with it."
"Setting up permissions can be overwhelming. If this can be improved it would be great."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"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."
"​Improve the user-friendliness."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The pricing is competitive."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"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 product is reasonably priced."
"It provides a high ROI."
"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."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
"WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free. The domain and pushing data costs money."
