SharePoint Designer Reviews

We use SharePoint Designer to create SharePoint sites and applications for sharing information within our organization.

The Power App is the most valuable feature. We can design it to look exactly how we want it to be, without requiring an expert's assistance to set it up. We have the freedom to make changes on our own and can easily connect and generate leads.

Power Apps has certain limitations as it is designed primarily for tablets. When deployed on a computer, it becomes much smaller. I am currently facing the challenge of maximizing its functionality on a computer. This is one of the downsides of Power Apps.

SharePoint Designer needs filter options for lists and libraries. I want to create user groups and subgroups of users to apply properties to the metadata. Currently, I'm struggling to find a workaround.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for around three years.

SharePoint Designer seems to be stable.

I give SharePoint Designer a nine out of ten. We can create sites without having to code.

I recommend SharePoint Designer to others.

The most valuable feature of SharePoint Designer is the storing of files. In the Office 365 version, there is the capability to share files with others which is helpful. The files have cross versions capability. If the solution is shut down abruptly the file is stored on the system automatically.

The system can become slow which should be improved.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for a long time.

The solution can crash sometimes, this should improve. However, the reason could be the Microsoft operating system.

The implementation of SharePoint Designer can be difficult.

I rate SharePoint Designer a six out of ten.

We use this product to build applications for our systems such as project management and training.

We appreciate the fact that this solution can provide us with an on-premises version, as due to our geographical location, we are not able to use cloud-based tools.

We would like to see an improvement in the stability and overall consistency of performance in this solution.

We would also like to have more step by step instructions on build and customization, so that those without a programming background can easily use the tool.

We have been working with this solution for nearly three years.

This is a generally stable solution, although we do tend to experience issues when we configure the transaction load.

The initial setup of this version was very simple and straightforward.

 I recommend this product to any organization who wants to have a nice framework for building their apps.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use SharePoint Designer for our intranet knowledge management portal and training portal.

The most valuable feature of SharePoint Designer is document management.

SharePoint Designer could improve most in analytics and reporting.

In a future release, SharePoint Designer can improve by implementing a headless solution, where we can create pages without headers.

I have been using SharePoint Designer for approximately 10 years.

SharePoint Designer is stable.

The scalability of SharePoint Designer is good.

The support from SharePoint Designer is very good. When we have an issue they responded quickly and look into the situation.

I rate the support from SharePoint Designer a five out of five.

The initial setup of SharePoint Designer is simple. The full implementation of the solution took years because we slowly made changes over time.

I rate the initial setup of SharePoint Designer a four out of five.

We are using an enterprise SharePoint Designer license. 

SharePoint Designer is the best solution we have. We don't see any alternative as of now. For intranet and knowledge management purposes this is the best solution. It has great integration with Office products.

I rate SharePoint Designer a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case for SharePoint Designer is for implementation for clients.

What I like most about this solution, is that we can use it as a secondary customization platform. We do customization and make a web SharePoint live for our clients. 

From what I read online, it depends on what you use the program for. I think the customization and migration need to improve. Upgrading should be simpler without too many things you need to change or repair. 

SharePoint Designer should be more practical and become an extension of Visual Studio. Because Visual Studio is a universal development platform. So I don't want to have to switch my user ID every time. So it should be more flexible and more of a mobile app version and integration with other solutions.  

The program is perfectly stable. I really like Microsoft products because they are very advanced. I like SharePoint because it's big and the pricing is fair. 

The scalability of SharePoint is good and the program is fast. 

There is zero technical support. I have to use Google to fix the issues myself.

I used a smaller content management platform which I customized. Visual Studio and SharePoint Designer work well together and could be extensions to each other.

I struggle with the installation. We are not a small company and there are three equal sides. You need to get them right, otherwise, SharePoint won't install properly. A single installation takes a couple of hours. You need time to do separate functionality. 

The program wasn't easy to deploy either, because when I integrate solutions, I have to do so many things before I can deploy SharePoint. So the process is a little tedious due to the security features of the program, but once you get it, it becomes easier. But its always a challenge for someone who is unfamiliar with this program. 

I've never paid for SharePoint Designer. What I paid for is the SharePoint license, the cava, and then the client accesses the line fee. 

On a scale of one to ten, I rate this a five because it could be more flexible.

We use this solution to access our cloud-based Microsoft applications.

We like that the interface is very user-friendly making it easy to use.

The solution is not very flexible when trying to access the solution via a personal PC.

We have been using this solution for two years.

We have found it to be a very stable product.

This solution is very scalable.

The setup for this solution is very straightforward as there is nothing to install; users can just log in and access the software.

The licensing for this solution is payable on a yearly basis.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Our main use case for this solution is to develop custom SharePoint sites. SharePoint is about collaboration to help improve efficiency, collaboration within teams, document management, and search. We have thousands of users in our client organization. We are a Microsoft gold partner.

SharePoint Designer has made information available centrally 24/7. It brings offline records online. It has made searching easy, without it document search was difficult. Communication between departments has become more effective.

I find the document management and search of SharePoint the most valuable features. 

I would like to see SharePoint improve the integration with different systems. I also would like to see more customization.

We have been using SharePoint Designer for 16 years.

SharePoint is stable.

Scalability has certain limitations depending on the number of users and number of records.

The availability and quality of technical support both need improvement.

Earlier, we used Custom.NET applications however, SharePoint is much better.

The initial setup is straightforward and gets simpler with every new version. The set-up takes less than a day, but the project for full implementation takes anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks. 

We used our own consultants to set up SharePoint. You need anywhere from 2 to 5 people and even upwards of 10 depending on the size of the portal to deploy and maintain SharePoint Designer.

Most of the SharePoint implementations are for the cloud which is priced per user per month. There are different plans at different costs that you can choose from.

We reviewed Custom.NET and other PHP based solutions prior to selecting SharePoint.

If you are implementing SharePoint Designer in your organization, I would recommend that you use the best practices given by Microsoft, specifically in implementation.

I would rate SharePoint an 8 out of 10.

The previous version of the solution was good as we had different views of both the design and the code. The new version doesn't have the option to view data but it has other, better features though.

I would like to see some improvements when assigning a task. For instance, when you create a task or a subtask, there should be a better workflow. At this stage, we can't CC any names in the sent box. We can only use a "to" address. So when I want to send an email, I have to write a custom code through .NET and then send the mail. It takes up a lot of my time. Then I also found that there was a requirement from one of my customers that they want this option in the taskbar too. For instance, when the email gets sent, they want a CC option as well. 

I will rate this program a five out of ten. The reason for this is that I would like to be able to use SharePoint Designer without having to buy other third party programs. At this stage, I still have to use other designing webpages because SharePoint Designer doesn't offer all the features I need. You can create beautiful pages, add the list and add a document library, but the solution doesn't offer any complicated designing features. One can only do a few simple designs. Everything has to be coded through either Visual Studio or some other solution. So I hope to see an improvement in the new version of this program. Perhaps they can add different templates where one can add banners, tabs, and lists. And even drag and drop features where one can add permissions. That would be great.
