Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are its integration capabilities and advanced marketing suite."
"I would say they have a modern, flexible, agile content management system."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"The search feature is valuable."
"The security feature is valuable."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
 

Cons

"They don't have a lot of libraries, which is something that they can improve on."
"This product needs an out of the box Intranet/Extranet Solution."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"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."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are probably about $100,000 USD per year."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The pricing works for us."
"For this type of solution, it is not wise to buy it without Software Assurance."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"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."
