Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SharePoint

We use a lot of M365 products and hence the reason we decided to use SharePoint as it would make the integration part a bit easier. We use it mainly for data storage and company wide communication or document sharing. SharePoint makes the data sharing and collaboration part more convenient which is quite helpful as we have lots of branches in the company that require different fractions of data at a given time.
  • Cloud based data storage.
  • Data sharing and integration
  • Making cross-team or department data sharing much more safer.
  • Integration/Extensions. To have more integration opportunities with other platforms or software other than provided could a nice touch specific to certain businesses.
  • A lot of Lagging. In our personal use, we have found often times the platform would start lagging especially when working with a medium-large data set which can be annoying and can be improved upon.
  • File Syncing issues. Syncing has been different for user to user and hasn't been stable in our experience. It works sometimes, other times you have to go over again.
  • The ROI on the product has been positive. It being cheaper is a major aspect for large businesses.
  • Negative side - The system just lags out a lot that can hinder your processes a lot. Users have to still save files on their system for backup just in case.
  • Neutral - There is still opportunities for integration with other cloud based platforms that if explored could make the ROI much higher

Do you think Microsoft SharePoint delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft SharePoint's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft SharePoint live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft SharePoint go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft SharePoint again?

Yes

From a business perspective, it is cheaper, works fine, there is ease of use and can be customized to do most of the work a business requires. It only gets a 7 as there are still areas of improvement and when implemented on a larger scale, some small flaws become much more impactful to the daily functioning.
