Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft SharePoint is mainly used as a document management system where I store and organize all my documents. SharePoint addresses accessibility, regardless of whatever device you have you can access your files as everything is in the cloud. This provides better accessibility compared to having files just locally in a device. More than this, there are some automation that can be used through power automate and the possibilities are endless.
  • Accessibility
  • Integration with other Microsoft products such as word, PowerPoint and excel
  • Permissions
  • Providing version histories
  • When uploading a lot of files, sometimes not all files gets uploaded
  • It would be good to have some sort of offline version in cases where internet signal is low
  • When opening files through browse, not all functions are provided. You will need to open up the file on the actual word, excel or ppt app. I hope that everything can be available with just the browser version.
  • Easier collaboration
  • Automation
One drive I think is more for personal use as a cloud storage. SharePoint can be more of use in businesses where teams can easily collaborate in various documents and files. This can also automate other processes to make it easier for the business in their day to day work tasks.

Not sure

Yes

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Microsoft SharePoint go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Microsoft SharePoint again?

Yes

Microsoft is well suited for cases where you require accessibility and easy organization of your documents as it can be used as a document management system. However if you have so much storage (e.g more than 5 to 10 years of files) that you are uploading/storing to Sharepoint, I don’t think it will be best suited to them as it can be expensive in terms of storage.
