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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's security has improved our management process. Its integration is good. It offers ready APIs that you can customize without developing the code. You don't have to go to the code level to implement the integration parameter."
"The document management system (DMS) has a fast retrieval time regardless of the stored volume."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
 

Cons

"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"There's room for improvement in the search functionality, although it has matured significantly over the years."
"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."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"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."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"The web parts in SharePoint could be more intuitive for end users."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"It is very expensive.​"
"The pricing works for us."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."

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…
