Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL
We currently use MS Sharepoint/SQL across the enterprise with a number of SharePoint farms supporting different customers who have different needs. It allows a single place for all users to collaborate on work and projects. The ability to easily share information with other users with a familiar interface allows us to address communication issues.
- Easy to share information with colleagues or partners within or outside of the organization.
- Easy to learn quickly, people are used to the interface.
- Everyone likes talking about themselves, SharePoint gives users a place to do that if they so wish.
- Setting up an external facing SharePoint site securely can be a challenge.
- Permissions can be difficult for users to set up and maintain.
- Setup can be intimidating as it can require many servers if you split all the roles out.
We evaluated Atlassian Confluence and compared it to our current SharePoint implementation. We felt that the two products were quite similar in the user experience but we chose to keep our SharePoint farms up and running. This was mainly due to the cost of switching and the fact that they are both similar in feel and use. Confluence did some cool things but not enough to tip the scales.
