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."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"SharePoint manages version control, which makes it easier to track and amend documentation accurately, maintaining document integrity and enabling quick recovery if necessary."
"SharePoint is a ten out of ten solution."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The product must provide more automation."
"It does not integrate despite being part of the Microsoft family."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"It will fully use your system resources."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"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."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"The pricing works for us."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
