SharePoint Designer Reviews

We use this product to build applications for our systems such as project management and training.

We appreciate the fact that this solution can provide us with an on-premises version, as due to our geographical location, we are not able to use cloud-based tools.

We would like to see an improvement in the stability and overall consistency of performance in this solution.

We would also like to have more step by step instructions on build and customization, so that those without a programming background can easily use the tool.

We have been working with this solution for nearly three years.

This is a generally stable solution, although we do tend to experience issues when we configure the transaction load.

The initial setup of this version was very simple and straightforward.

 I recommend this product to any organization who wants to have a nice framework for building their apps.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for collaborating on work. 

For web applications, you can use it to customize some of your designs for your website or your application. 

The one thing I just love is having a platform that is easy to collaborate on and see my work. It's easy to do, and I can even navigate without many technicalities. That's what I've been getting from it. It's easy to use. You can just play around with it and get things done. You get to get your output easier.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

It is stable and reliable.

The solution likely can scale, although I haven't tested its limits. 

We'd like it if we got less frequent updates. 

I've been using SharePoint for roughly a year now.

The solution is stable. It's very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable, and the performance is good. 

While I find it scalable, my use case is not something where I really use it on a large scale and enterprise level. I wouldn't be able to give a definite answer to scalability for large-scale operations.

I just use the product on a personal level. I don't have any large projects that are ongoing.

I've never reached out to technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

The solution is simple to set up. The fact is that most of the initial setup I didn't handle. I just had somebody who walked me through it and did the setup, and made it easy for me. I didn't need to go and research how to do this stuff. 

If you are a designer, you've likely looked at a few options, including, for example, Visual Studio.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I'd rate it six out of ten. 

We use this solution to access our cloud-based Microsoft applications.

We like that the interface is very user-friendly making it easy to use.

The solution is not very flexible when trying to access the solution via a personal PC.

We have been using this solution for two years.

We have found it to be a very stable product.

This solution is very scalable.

The setup for this solution is very straightforward as there is nothing to install; users can just log in and access the software.

The licensing for this solution is payable on a yearly basis.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We were reviewing this tool for one of our clients — we work with both medium and large enterprises. Currently, they are using Documentum but they are interested in migrating to SharePoint, so they asked us to compare the two. I am part of an IT company where we do a lot of solutions and service-based IT. We do things for many customers from the IT side.

SharePoint Designer is for the developer or the administrator, it's not for the end product (the business user).

We use SharePoint to improve sequencing and workflow design in general, and it can be used to build a workflow process from end-to-end.

We also use the classic version of SharePoint to do work on the master page, pinning, and other things. We can use SharePoint Designer for that. We also copy our data from our SharePoint site by using SharePoint Designer to cut and paste.

SharePoint Designer is a great tool. The new workflow platform, Power Automate, which can be integrated with SharePoint Designer, is going to be great because currently, SharePoint Designer is only compatible with workflows.

Because things are moving toward the cloud, they should design a pin in SharePoint Designer that would be great because we do some coding for that.

SharePoint Designer should be integrated with SharePoint, for example, SharePoint Online can be integrated with SharePoint Designer to perform activities such as backup and restoration, that would provide a great advantage for developers and administrators. Naturally, this integration would also help Microsoft grow its SharePoint market.

We use Power Automate in the cloud, it would be great if we could do that with SharePoint Designer and publish it to the cloud. It would be nice if we could work offline, too. It is not always necessary to be online. The modern platform, from Microsoft Modern UI, is easily designed with integrated teams within SharePoint Designer, which will be a great advantage.

I have been using SharePoint since June 2007. We were using SharePoint Designer 2013, but we have recently upgraded to modern SharePoint; however, because the development platform was changed, the new SharePoint Designer is very limited, so we don't use SharePoint Designer very often.

Overall, it's quite stable, but sometimes it requires maintenance.

The scalability is not a problem because this is a desktop application and it works just fine. As long as your SharePoint site is scalable, the application will work just fine. 

The technical support from Microsoft is very good. We have never had any issues with them. 

From a user's perspective, it was simple. Microsoft is user-friendly and is always simple to use. 

The setup time is very quick. I don't remember exactly, but I would say it took maybe even less than five minutes. 

We do everything. Sometimes it requires maintenance and when it does, we do it.

SharePoint is included in your Office 365 package, you don't have to buy anything extra. There is no extra license required. Typically, many customers already have the Office 365 license in place so it's just a matter of leveraging Sharepoint Online.

SharePoint Designer is just a tool. As there are a lot of key factors, I would recommend using SharePoint Designer online for internal collaboration platforms. SharePoint is not only a document management system, but it also handles content management systems, workflow automation, process automation, and more. 

SharePoint Online is a product that is included in the Microsoft Office 365 package, it is not part of Microsoft Azure. Office 365 and Microsoft 365 is a separate product altogether. People do use SharePoint Designer within the SharePoint 2016 and 2019 on-premise versions, but I see a lot of customers moving to the cloud, so they use SharePoint Online. 

I would rate it a nine out of ten.

The solution is used to design and customized Microsoft SharePoint websites.

The most valuable feature is the simplicity, standardization, and ability to create more than one portal.

The solution can be improved with a reduction in price. 

I have been using the solution for over five years.

From my experience the solution is stable. I have heard of clients that have complained about the stability once a certain amount of data, over 200 gigs has been reached as well as the stability of SQL Databases.

The initial setup is straightforward. You can have everything deployed in under a month.

The implementation was completed in-house.

The cost of the solution is based on multiple factors such as the number of users, and any customization that may be required.

I give the solution eight out of ten.

I usually recommend this solution to clients before any others.

We are using SharePoint Designer for sharing knowledge.

SharePoint Designer could improve by making the searching feature better. It is not accurate in some cases, and there are some descriptions that are not clear.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for approximately five years.

There are some bugs in the solution but it works. There are problems with the server.

The solution is scalable.

We are a small company with five people using the solution. If we grow it will be approximately 10 to 15.

If we ever have a problem we contact our consulting company for assistance.

I did not evaluate other solutions prior to SharePoint Designer.

The initial setup of SharePoint Designer was simple. It took approximately one week.

We used a consultant company for the deployment and with our processes.

I use Macintosh devices, and because this solution is not available in the Apple Ecosystem I use it because it is cost-effective.

We achieved the discount rate for the solution and the price is low for this year, but I think it will increase next year. It cost approximately €10 per user with a discount.

We do not need anyone to maintain the solution, we contact our consultant company if we need to.

My advice to others is to use a good consulting company to assist them with the implementation of the solution.

I rate SharePoint Designer an eight out of ten.

SharePoint Online is a collaborative tool. For example, if you need your coworkers to collaborate on a particular task or project SharePoint Online can be used to store your information in terms of the SharePoint list. Additionally, you can add your document or physical files there. If you need to build any kind of custom workflows or custom requirements for your business, you have the ability to do it in this solution.

I am a developer, and whatever is not possible with the SharePoint default feature, we make custom features available for our clients. Anything which is not possible using all the methods within the solution we can customize.

SharePoint Online is not only a SharePoint standalone, but they have integrated it with other Microsoft services, such as Microsoft BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate. We can deliver any business solution using other Microsoft service, which is collaborative with SharePoint.

SharePoint have their own roadmaps, with the new features that they're coming out which is informative.

Microsoft has invested in SharePoint heavily in terms of UI, stability, performance. It is a very good solution.

SharePoint Online should continue to integrate with other solutions.

I have been using SharePoint Online for approximately 10 years.

The stability of SharePoint Online is good.

The support we have from Microsoft has been good.

I would rate the support from Microsoft a ten out of ten.

SharePoint Online has a subscription-based model for payments and the price is based on user usage.

I would rate the price of SharePoint an eight out of ten.

I didn't get a chance to explore other solutions because when I started my career, it was always SharePoint. If we were not using SharePoint, all the other options seemed to be more costly. For example, integration.

When I compare SharePoint with open source solutions, we don't have difficulties managing the operation because it's subscription-based and everything Microsoft takes care of, such as security.

SharePoint Online has been retired and we now use SharePoint Online.

I strongly recommend this solution. If you have a Microsoft account or Office 365 account, many of the customers don't know that it has a SharePoint within. If they know it, they can manage most of their internal work through it. Having the portal allows the user to manage everything. If they have Office 365 subscription, they should invest in SharePoint because it is available for them free of cost if they have their own subscription to Office 365. However, it is now hidden in the application.

Sharepoint is a good solution and they are working towards more integration with other solutions and tools that can enable developers.

I rate SharePoint Online an eight out of ten.

The interface of SharePoint Designer could be improved, such as in SAP.

I am using SharePoint Designer now and have only used it for a short time.

SharePoint Designer is stable.

We have only recently deployed the solution, I am not able to give much information on the scalability.

We have approximately 200 users using this solution in my organization and we plan to increase usage.

I have not needed to use technical support.

We have used another solution previously and we switched because SharePoint Designer requires less maintenance.

SharePoint Designer is easy to deploy and it is one of the most valuable features. The whole process took a couple of days and it is easy to work on.

We used our own team for the implementation of the solution.

We have one person that handles the maintenance of the solution.

We have received a return on investment.

SharePoint Designer is less expensive than other solutions we have used. We purchased Office 365 which SharePoint comes with the package.

I rate SharePoint Designer an eight out of ten.
