The local desktop changes synchronize with the server and are available to the project manager on his mobile.
The user interface can be changed to 'look' more like a Microsoft one since this will help market the product more. The users only know Microsoft. If someone does not know the other choices, there is nothing to choose from. If it looks like Microsoft, it may sell better. Additionally, I do have to credit Microsoft for the user interface.

Streamlined collaboration through seamless integration and customization
I have been an administrator for SharePoint and have used it as an end-user for document storage. Predominantly, I've been involved in administration SharePoint helps a lot since we've moved from using it directly to using it as a backend for Teams, which makes collaboration easier. It supports…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's relatively easy to create folders or workspaces."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"The most valuable aspect of SharePoint is its integration with Teams. T"
"SharePoint is easy to collaborate with."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"Information is much more readily available."
"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
 

Cons

"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"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."
"Replication needs improvement."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
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…
