Product Details

What is SharePoint?

MS SharePoint / SQL refers to Microsoft Sharepoint, a web-based collaborative platform, being used in tandem with Microsoft SQL Server to provide business intelligence analytics and reporting. They can provide BI content such as data connections, reports, scorecards, dashboards, and more.

With Sharepoint, users can share files, data, news, and resources. Sites can be customized to streamline teams’ work. Team members can collaborate inside and outside the organization, across PCs, Macs, and mobile devices.

Sharepoint also supports the ability to discover data, expertise, and insights to inform decisions and guide action. SharePoint’s content management features, along with connections and conversations surfaced in Yammer, enable organizations to maximize their velocity of knowledge.

Users can also accelerate productivity by transforming processes—from tasks like notifications and approvals to operational workflows. With SharePoint lists and libraries, Microsoft Flow, and PowerApps, they can create digital experiences with forms, workflows, and custom apps for every device.

Microsoft SharePoint, at the scale of a large org, has no rivals outside of Microsoft Teams

We have too much invested at this point to do anything different and there are too many reasons as a company our size to keep it. We are heavily licensed out for Microsoft and have 12 years of SharePoint development baked into who we are. Extracting that as a tool at this point would be dumb and devastating. There are no like-kind competitors to it at an enterprise level that scale and integrate as well.

It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better.

The tool is easy to use and it provides us with the functionality that we need. We want to have mobile access to data that needs to be shared both internally and externally in a manner that is secure and able to be controlled based on a variety of scenarios. The tool is adaptive to our needs and it is overall very functionally suited for our use cases.

We have no issues with the product, it is easy to use, and our support people are comfortable with the administration of sharepoint. We have a strong relationship with Microsoft and have good pricing from the vendor.

The only drawback is the price, it's quite costly to buy and requires Microsoft professionals to run at its peak capabilities. It works very well with large quantities of employees, has powerful search capabilities and a huge community. However it might not be a good fit for smaller companies who don't handle a large number of documents and employees and who don't exert high security requirements.

For me it is the most cost effective solution to a number of separate products which would otherwise require not only the procurement of a number of individual products, but also;
  • Separate agreements
  • Separate infrastructures
  • separate Support
  • Separate Logons potentially
  • Incoherent search across all systems, if one was available
  • Separate renewal, upgrade, patching etc.

To me SharePoint is the most complete technology out there for business needs as it includes:
- Business Intelligence
- Electronic Forms
- Collaboration Sites
- Blogs
- etc...

Blogger for example may individually do blogging better than SharePoint but does not have all the other features that SharePoint has such as BI. SharePoint to me is the best choice as it does many features really well where other technology may do something specific better but is restricted to that feature only.

I am not the decision-maker for my organization regarding enterprise technology, so I can't really answer this question very accurately, other than to say that I am happy to continue using SharePoint as long as my organization keeps it.

It a nutshell, it works. It meet ours requirements and does a pretty good job at it. Although it is expensive, it does offer our organization enterprise level tools in one location. SharePoint is a very popular solution and most people that are familiar with MS Office (later versions) should have no trouble adapting to its use.

Overall my company could get a lot more out of the product but SharePoint covers the primary usage needs of my group (collaboration, document versioning) with relatively little effort. Starting over with a new tool at this point would require a significant effort compared to the benefit received.

Currently we are in a migration process to SharePoint 2013. The Yammer integration and an even larger feature set made us switch to the new version. What we are experiencing right now is that people in our company are sharing even more on Yammer. We are very eager to launch our new intranet with complete Yammer integration.

Again, nothing offers the same functionality for collaboration and document management on the market with such integration with the other Office package. Everyone uses MS Office, and we do heavily, so anything else to try and seamlessly bridge the gap between people, projects and documents across multiple teams and business units just doesn't exist in the same way.
