Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"For any organization with more than one person in it, if they are trying to organize things to let people in the company know what others are doing, then this solution is good for them."
"It is very stable."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"Information is much more readily available."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"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."
"This solution would benefit from the implementation of enhanced online forms and template development capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"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 pricing is competitive."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"It is very expensive.​"
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
