Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Reviews

I am using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for different clients, internal communication, and sharing documents with our clients and users.

From my partner perspective, the best advantages of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are that it's easy to use, and we can easily communicate, share documents, and assign permissions to specific people. We can create multiple types of permissions according to user requirements and client requirements, and we can allow or block usage of documents and folders. We can publish our achievements on SharePoint sites and multiple projects that we have created and share with the client user and our team management, as well as with the overall management.

The search capabilities are easy to use.

Regarding integration with other tools, it is easy to integrate when we have collaboration on Office 365 with tools such as Teams and OneDrive. These integrate seamlessly with the SharePoint tools.

Regarding disadvantages of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I have not observed any areas that need improvement. It's easy to use, though one suggestion would be to separate the Team sites from SharePoint sites. When we create a Team channel or any kind of team on a Team portal, they also create a SharePoint site. We need to separate this functionality. We should be able to create only Team sites that work for Teams, and when we create SharePoint sites, they should work for SharePoint only, without the combination of both.

I have been using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for the last three years.

I am currently working with Microsoft Office 365 Exchange Online, Microsoft Defender, and Azure Sentinel technologies.

Regarding scalability, it's very scalable. We haven't experienced any kind of glitch in the site.

Concerning technical support from Microsoft, I am not very satisfied with their support. I feel that when receiving support from the Chinese companies, they are not properly guiding us.

I would rate technical support from one to ten as four or five.

Positive

I have not worked with anything similar to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server from other vendors for the same use case.

The installation, initial setup, and deployment are easy to use and configure. We just follow some steps to install and configure the website.

Regarding return on investment, I would estimate it at 10-20% ROI.

The pricing for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is very reasonable, and the cost is not a significant concern.

I am using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and my clients typically have it on cloud, though some clients use it on-premises. I am a partner and a Senior System Engineer. I always recommend Microsoft to my colleagues and company.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Office SharePoint Server a 9.5.

The solution is primarily used for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server collaboration and document sharing, with edits across teams.

My favorite features in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are primarily related to being able to edit on the browser. This capability is invaluable as I can edit on both phone and laptop. I am not confined to any specific device, which is a significant time saver, especially when traveling. The ability to work through a web browser without requiring installation on devices is particularly beneficial.

Regarding integration, most of our Copilot tools can effectively connect to the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server system. The integration process is seamless and works efficiently without any challenges.

While I don't have significant issues with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, there is one area that could potentially be improved. In previous years, there were some challenges when integrating with the email client. The system tends to slow down when integrated with the Outlook client. This could be seen as one possible area for user experience enhancement in terms of Outlook integration.

I have been using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for more than 10 years as a service rather than a product.

I cannot provide insight regarding the installation of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Since it is deployed as a platform or software as a service in my case, I am not familiar with its implementation complexity.

There are no stability or glitch issues with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server that come to mind. Latency is not a challenge as it operates on a robust network. Any speed issues are typically related to individual network bandwidth rather than platform constraints.

Scalability of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server has not been an issue for my needs.

While I don't directly engage with the support aspect, I believe they provide good care for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server through the enterprise agreement.

Positive

When comparing Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to alternatives, Zoom has emerged as a platform with similar features to what Microsoft provides. Zoom has developed comparable capabilities, though it's worth noting that these tools don't exist in isolation. Modern solutions tend to be integrated suites handling everything from GenAI to document storage, retrieval, and collaboration. While cost comparisons suggest Microsoft's solution might be more expensive, I don't have exact financial details to make a precise comparison.

My exposure to Zoom has primarily been through marketing pitches rather than a detailed side-by-side comparison with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

I am an end-user of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server through Microsoft 365, rather than using it as a local deployment. The solution is quite comprehensive in its offerings.

Microsoft has done well with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server in terms of navigation and usability. The Teams integration with SharePoint backend provides an enhanced user experience compared to using SharePoint independently.

Regarding search and indexing capabilities, usage patterns have changed significantly over the last year and a half due to Copilot and GenAI tools. Users now tend to rely more on AI tools for content crawling rather than direct SharePoint searches.

While I cannot speak to the specifics of licensing, conversations with competing platforms suggest it might be more expensive compared to other competitors.

I have rated Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 8.5 out of 10.

The social networking features in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server help my team communicate with our global projects. We are currently based in Colombia, but we have projects with Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. We are using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server internally only, not with our clients.

What I appreciate most about Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is how it centralizes information and collaboration in one place. It is really easy for us to work because it allows the team to share documents, manage workflows, and access data easily. This improves our productivity and ensures everyone is working with the most up-to-date information.

There are areas that could be even better with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Making it more intuitive could help teams adopt it faster and use it more effectively by being more user-friendly.

I used Microsoft Office SharePoint Server five years ago.

I still use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server today.

I have never used the support with this product, but I believe the technical person in charge of the hardware has used it. The person who checks that all employees have the tools handles this aspect. I have never had a complaint about support and I always have my tool working properly.

Positive

I am not aware of what collaboration tools were used before Microsoft as I have been in this company for just three years.

The price of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is affordable for us.

I am not familiar with other content collaboration products. Here in Colombia, Microsoft is really popular. In all the companies where I have worked, it has always been Microsoft products.

In the next release, AI agents could be included.

I do not use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server's advanced search functionality.

I also use Microsoft 365 Business and Dynamics.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Microsoft Office SharePoint Server a nine.

I personally use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server primarily for storing files, while the people from the IT department utilize other features, but I'm not very aware of that because I operate at a very high level as a CEO of operations, meaning I don't really have details of what the technical team is doing. There are three or four people involved before something even gets to me.

The IT team is using some features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, such as business intelligence, to address various business challenges.

With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, we use all the tools integrated with Teams, which has very good tools for governance to support verifying access that is not denied for people trying to access internal financial data, allowing us to verify any unauthorized attempts. In this sense for auditing, it is very good in order to keep the governance strong.

The integration with security tools in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is one of the significant pluses since it alerts the IT team if anyone tries to redirect an email, which is illegal for us. For instance, if a person attempts to forward a corporate email to their Gmail account, the system notifies the IT people with an alert about the forbidden redirect.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is efficient and saves time because we use Active Directory integrated with various access control tools. For example, we have integrated the access system used for physical entry, such as opening doors, with Active Directory. It works effectively, although we had to purchase a tool to facilitate this integration, but overall, it functions as expected.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a mega, giga tool, which means there are some cumbersome aspects because it can be complicated at times to migrate a list to a group in Teams. Moreover, the information can sometimes be scattered across different queries, making it challenging to find the right information needed, yet it works. This part is actually the support, not from Microsoft directly, but from the tools available in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, which can be complicated to use.

The documentation for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is sometimes very conflicting or complicated. For example, adding a group when you create a Teams site can be a complicated process at times.

If I were to rate the documentation of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server on a scale of one to 10, I would give it a seven.

We have not encountered any scalability issues with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Regarding the pricing of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, what we have necessitates payment for the subscription of 365. I don't remember the exact amount, but we pay for access to Word, Excel, and similar tools, and I find the pricing fair.

For us, the pricing is fair, around $10 a month; however, I don't remember the exact value as the financial team handles those details.

Based on my experience, I would rate Microsoft Office SharePoint Server a nine out of ten.

I utilize the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server in document management workflows, and last month I started the workflow for documents using the workflow two or three times. I have no idea for this feature, but I am using it a little bit for two or three hours, seeing how the workflow works. A workflow is one I have created, and I assign the date, time, and target to the end-user.

My daily operation involves Microsoft Teams, and for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, we already do this on a daily basis: SharePoint document sharing in our organization and outside the organization. It's a daily basis activity for us.

I have not used the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server in any AI-driven projects or AI-driven processes yet, but I will start the AI project after my remaining, already running project. After I complete the running project, I am starting the AI because our company recently partnered with Anderson for an AI consultant. I have chosen this platform for a knowledge base and working base, and I think I will start with AI within two or three months.

The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a main feature of Microsoft, and I use it for everything I share inside the organization and outside the organization. It's easy to use, easy to share, and easy to manage all SharePoint services.

I find the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server very beneficial for an organization because all my documentation and other data can be shared through it. I can attach it to SharePoint and easily transfer my suggestions and documentation to any other person outside the organization or inside the office organization.

Security is a very important feature of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server because when I share a document or another file, I first check if I have any policies relevant to the document, such as edit, view only, and cannot download. This feature is very good.

At this moment, everything is fine with the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. For improvement, I think last time I checked about 13 to 15 days ago, I saw new updates for SharePoint and Teams, and it is much better than before. After the improvements and updates, it is very good.

Regarding the first initial setup of the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I had no complexities or challenges. However, when I migrate, a tenant-to-tenant migration presents a challenge to move SharePoint files easily to another tenant because we are using a third-party tool for this migration. I think Microsoft doesn't have a tool to easily manage this, just as emails can be easily exchanged and migrated from tenant to tenant. But for SharePoint, I'm using a third-party tool for tenant-to-tenant migration.

I have been working with the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for the last four to five years because we have a Microsoft 365 admin portal and our organization uses hosting for Microsoft 365, also SharePoint and OneDrive.

I have not had any performance issues with the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and I have found no scalability issues right now; it's working very smoothly.

I have not had any performance issues with the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and I have found no scalability issues right now; it's working very smoothly.

The Microsoft tech support and customer service team is very cooperative. I mostly interact with the Microsoft US technical team through emails and calls, and they are very cooperative in resolving issues.

Positive

I have not worked with any other collaboration platforms apart from Microsoft.

Regarding the first initial setup of the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I had no complexities or challenges.

We have the local Microsoft Office SharePoint Server deployed on-sites.

In Pakistan, we are mostly using an older version of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, not the upgraded one, for cost reasons.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is time-saving, and everything is beneficial because I can easily migrate and transfer all data from one site to a second site or from one city office to a second city office, and I can transfer it easily on-site. It's very time-saving.

Everything is working fine right now with the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Office SharePoint Server a 9.

I think mostly for collaboration within the organization is my major use case, any document of any format. For collaborating on it and for sharing any of those documents we have, whether it's a PPT or Excel. If you want to work in the file together, then that's where we generally rely on.

I believe the control and the restrictions, accesses that we can have once we decide to share any document through Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, are the most beneficial aspects for me.

Document management does improve collaboration in the organization.

The recent search functionality in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server does the job for me. I don't generally use an advanced search option. The basic search bar works for me.

I cannot think of any drawback or area for improvement at the moment. It is quite useful. There are enough things that we can do with it.

Probably because I may not have extensively used the advanced search, the search option can sometimes get a little difficult to find out what exactly you're looking for. It may be because I'm not so familiar or the advanced search option is not so easy to access.

We have been using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for a couple of years.

I cannot provide details regarding dealing with technical support from Microsoft at this time.

We do work with some project management products. We have had some other platforms such as Deltek and Degreed, which are not exactly equivalents, but they are into other HR support services.

I cannot comment on whether the installation process is straightforward or can be quite complicated because I was not part of the setup.

We are just in the process of implementing the same products. I cannot really say anything at the moment about the experience. We have just subscribed to the platform and we are in the course of implementation. We just started the journey.

Because I may not be the right person to comment on any other platform, I think for Darwinbox too, it is only in nascent phases. I don't think it is time that I can give any detailed feedback. We have just started on it and started doing the implementation.

I am not aware of the pricing, so I cannot say if the solution is expensive or quite affordable.

I think in the organization, by default, this is what we will have to use regarding solutions similar to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

I have never utilized the social networking feature in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. The access controls of the platform are compliant with organizational policies. My overall review rating for this product is 7.

In the university where I work, I use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and it is very common for sharing information and sharing files. We can share files and work on them at the same time. It is very useful to save time and to share work, co-working with different units of the university. From Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I think that you save a lot of mails with files. It is very easy to share files and you do not have to mail or upgrade permanently new files.

You always have the last version of the file. You do not have to interchange many files with other persons, as you have the files in the same place. That is one of the main characteristics of this application.

In the university, each unit has a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server space. Currently, it is the main source of institutional information.

It is easy to manage files with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. There is no other application for file information, as 90% of the university's information is managed through Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. The main feature is that you can manage the institutional information through Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

It is very easy to share information and maintain the university's information. It has many rules to manage information. Not everyone can access different files as there are many rules and roles. It is easy to track who is reading information and who is not. Sometimes files get free access, which is a problem for us, but that is a human mistake, not a problem with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Two years ago, I did not enjoy using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server because I am from the generation that managed files by email. Now, after learning about it, I understand the advantages that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server has. The way Microsoft teaches and makes it easy for people to understand and manage the tool is very important. Young generations do not have that problem.

We use Outlook which has many applications, email and scheduling. Teams and Outlook applications are primarily used. For meetings, Zoom was used during COVID-19, but now it is very expensive, and Teams is cheaper.

I use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server in my work.

Microsoft used to have advantages for purchasing Microsoft applications for universities. They are very easy at the beginning, but with the passage of time, they change some conditions and increase prices significantly. At the beginning, they are very cheap and easy to access. However, with time, they raise the price until it becomes somewhat expensive for us.

I would rate Microsoft Office SharePoint Server an eight out of ten, though I do not have other solutions to compare it with.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is the fact that everyone has access to it. It is similar to OneDrive, and I see them as very interchangeable.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server helps with return on investment as it saves a lot of time and helps clients improve their processes. It ties everything together efficiently. When we work on a project, we create a SharePoint for clients, and then we can put all the information there. Nothing gets lost in translation or communication. We have full control of the narrative on SharePoint. It is really beneficial to give people access to, especially when there is a lot of information to share.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server could be improved in terms of its user interface. While it is easy to work with, it could be more intuitive and could look more aesthetically pleasing.

The setup for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is relatively straightforward, but the interface design needs improvement.

We do not encounter any scalability issues with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for bigger clients.

The team that deploys Microsoft Office SharePoint Server consists of multiple people, approximately six team members.

The job roles for those deploying Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are all in consulting. When a client needs SharePoint, we create it for them and handle the deployment process.

I am not sure about the pricing of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Our team uses Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for collaboration and document management, which was set up before I joined.

I would definitely recommend Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to others without hesitation.

I find Microsoft Office SharePoint Server easy to use and prefer it over alternatives. Despite its interface limitations, it is a superior solution. I am a dedicated user of SharePoint and enjoy working with it.

I am not familiar with whether AI is integrated into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server for some of our clients.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Office SharePoint Server an 8.
