Microsoft's SharePoint is an Intranet solution that enables users to share and manage content, knowledge, and applications to empower teamwork, quickly find information, and collaborate across the organization.
Depending on use and knowledge, both Jira and Microsoft SharePoint allow for task management, file sharing, communication, reporting, etc. However, out of the box, Jira is ready to go, whereas SharePoint requires more customization to get to the same point. Although Jira could …
These are not very efficient like JIRA is. It's easy to understand and browse this product. Not much of training is needed here. We like the ease and smoothness of using this product. The look and feel of this product is awesome. It's more cost effective than other tools.
We remain with JIRA even though our umbrella company is fully invested with ServiceNow(SNOW) as SNOW has just a portion of the utility of JIRA when it comes to agile development. SNOW also requires advanced technicians and an entire support team to maintain, whereas JIRA's …
JIRA blows Sharepoint out of the water. I've been a heavy user of both and the JIRA implementation we have now has reduced so many headaches within our organization. At one time, we had physical cards to track Sharepoint issues and were forced to stand around a board for 15 …
JIRA is by far more superior to Sharepoint, in my opinion, when it comes to tracking information. Sharepoint is very clunky and difficult to customize. We spent way too much time trying to configure Sharepoint into a useable product until we decide to just abandon the product …
The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the …
We still have Confluence and Google Drive, but we wanted a product that could provide document security and a single point of access that easily integrated into our active directory. Since we use this for our intranet site, we found the features easier to stand up and the UI …
There is no competitor to SharePoint for an organization our size. The integration into our development environment, active directory, and other office tools just can't be matched (specifically from a contractual agreement and holistic perspective with ALL of our toolsets). Micr…
I think SharePoint has been around the longest, at least it's the first cloud-based collaboration tool I used many years ago. It has a very Microsoft feel which has its perks and drawbacks. Reminds me of when I used Microsoft mobile OS and how it felt like Windows on a phone. …
Teams is the new front end for SharePoint. So far, I like the look, feel and adaptability of it better. As for Confluence, I have never been a fan of it's searching capabilities. Additionally, we've encountered users having a hard time being aware of other "spaces" within …
we have tried Confluence as a collaboration tool as well. Confluence does have a steep learning curve in my opinion. I think SharePoint is easier to adapt to because it builds off of other Microsoft habits, but neither is super intuitive. If I were to pick one it would be …
SharePoint has more features than Google Drive, but is not free. It has the ability to present full web pages, which Google Drive does not have. It also has integration into Microsoft 365, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Outlook which are strong product lines for business. Googl…
SharePoint is a more mature product than Confluence but this does come with both positives and negatives. We are a heavy MS technology company so using SharePoint is a logical step for us. If you are not heavily invested in MS tech then Confluence is a perfectly viable option …
There are overlapping capabilities of SharePoint and the above list of products. The simplest form seems to be the Google Suite of products that provide cloud integration with document creation, such as Docs/Slides/Sheets/Forms where storage is in Drive. The cloud nature …
We use Google Drive as well BUT the functions that are available in SharePoint are not translated in Google Docs. Formatting and uploading are not the same and some of the Excel functions do not transfer over. SharePoint makes it seamless! Either system is good but the …
Sharepoint stacks up very well against all of its competitor software. It gets upgrades at the right time. However, from an integration perspective, none of the other software are able to do so properly with SharePoint. It is a very basic use of project management and access to …
Google Docs: Not enterprise ready, but great at multi user edits. Subsites and integration not native. Use of service accounts not a strong suit. Not audit friendly
Slack: Discontinued due to security features and lack of AD integration (At the time)
MS SharePoint stacks great against its competitors for a simple reason, it is perfectly integrated into Microsoft ecosystem, as it is tightly synchronized with Skype for business, Outlook, Outlook calendar and any other O365 software. The great thing about MS SharePoint is that …
SharePoint is well up front from its competitors. For a simple reason, it is integrated with THE Office package and all the Office programs which are widely used across the numerous companies. Its integration with OneDrive makes it even better and offers something that no …
For the use case we have I think SharePoint is the best fit for the task being done. It is so flexible at the same time simple and powerful. It does not require a lot of coding skills and, with even with the basic knowledge, you can still do a lot.
JIRA has one of the easiest project management and workflow tools that have many integration points available. It also integrates with Confluence which provides easy and up-to-date information for both internal and external documentation.
MS SharePoint works similarly to JIRA. However, with a bit more patience and some understanding of how MS SharePoint works, MS SharePoint has more capabilities than JIRA Software. Because MS SharePoint can be customized to meet your needs, the software is basically limitless. …
Ease of use, ease of setup, ease of administration, ease of configuration, ease of customization... what's not to like? SharePoint's got exactly what you need. Just don't expect too many frills, bells, whistles in terms of UI, but even then, it gets the job done.
We selected SharePoint mainly due to the fact that we were already using an older version. Migration to a new system would require significant end-user training. Being a "Microsoft Shop," stakeholders were well informed on how the product "should function" etc. In addition to …
The Jira software works well for managing scrum boards and allocating resources to a task. When your Epics and Issues are set up properly, it can give you a good idea of where your team stands and the trajectory of your project. It is not the ideal solution if you need to provide documentation and support to people outside of your product teams or organization. It would benefit from having a public documentation or repository feature.
Very user friendly. If you're already using M365 products it offers great integration! If you're using Azure AD it offers SSO for IAM and integrates nicely with Azure AD Groups which can then be used for Access management. As our IT / Azure Administrator, I particularly like the "sharing link" options where you can send a link with an expiration date and not have to remember to remove the link / access after a project / business case scenario is over.
This is because Jira Software generates a huge profit for an affordable price. Having a tool that makes team management transparent and effective is very valuable.
In addition, the renewal of Jira Software and all Atlassian tools is predictable and clear, as the prices are published on the Atlassian website and there is no pyramid of intermediaries.
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.
JIRA Software is a pretty complex tool. We have a project manager for JIRA who onboarded us, created our board, and taught us the basics. I think it would have been pretty overwhelming to learn without her. JIRA offers so much functionality that I'm not aware of -- I constantly need to Google or ask others about existing features. Also, although they are all under the Atlassian umbrella, I find it difficult to switch between JIRA Software and Confluence.
No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths
Our JIRA support is handled internally by members of our Product Support team. It is not supported by a 3rd party. Our internal support will always sent out notifications for downtime which is usually done on the weekend unless it is required to fix a bug/issue that is affecting the entire company. Downtime is typically 3-4 hours and then once the maintenance is complete, another broadcast email is sent out informing the user community that the system is now available for use.
The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing.
One of their strong points i stheir documentation. Almost all of the basic set up needed within JIRA is available online through atlassian and its easy to find and very precise. The more critical issues need to be addressed as well and hence the rating of 8 instead of a 9.
I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users.
Take your time implementing Jira. Make sure you understand how you want to handle your projects and workflows. Investing more time in the implementation can pay off in a long run. It basically took us 5 days to define and implement correctly, but that meant smooth sailing later on.
Jira Software has more integrations and has more features than many of its competitors. While some of its competitors do have better UI/UX than Jira Software, they have improved this greatly over time. Atlassian also acquired Trello years ago, so that adds better user interfaces to the system. They do also offer a pretty in-depth library of how to customize the platform that others don't.
The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities.
Increased collaboration - MS Sharepoint has increased knowledge share and collaboration between departments. This saves time and energy because of its efficient and effective communication
Increased document security - MS Sharepoint has increased our document security so we're safer knowing that our documents are security and access controlled appropriately. We are less prone to get in trouble by our customers due to the security provided by MS Sharepoint
Negative Impact Compared to other software - Not sure if the MS Sharepoint's main functionalities could've been met with other tools we currently have
