Our end users find great value in building team workspaces to collaborate not only with internal employees, but with third-party consultants and customers as required.
Having one centralized collaboration space to bring all employees together has been quite beneficial for our organization as we have 120+ remote locations in rural areas with slower internet connections.

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."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing or information sharing."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"Tech support tops off as excellent."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
 

Cons

"The speed of opening files is too slow and should be increased."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"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 product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"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."
