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."
"No code and low code, scalable, and stable collaboration platform. Straightforward to set up. Its support system is good and offers fast issue resolution."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"It offers an easy way to store unstructured content (.pdf, .doc, .xls, images) and to tag them with metadata."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
 

Cons

"Newgen could open up more to the education segment by making resources easily available to customers, similar to IBM and SAP certifications."
"We need to work on establishing a stable licensing model. When licensing terms change frequently, customers find it difficult to budget effectively."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"The solution's support services and GenAI could be improved and made faster and more knowledgeable."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"The navigation is confusing."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
 

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 licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The pricing works for us."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
