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.
I love how Jostle connects our company and allows us to celebrate milestones while also being able to share important messages. Being able to store Job Aids in the library as a resource to your team is amazing, especially when they are out in the field and they do not have a computer they can still look up how to do something.
SharePoint Document Management excels as a central repository for storing, organising, and retrieving documents. It supports version control, metadata tagging, secure access, and integration with tools like Power Automate. At our organisation, it's used for managing contracts, policies, and supplier documents. SharePoint Workflow Automation integrates with Power Automate to streamline approvals, gather feedback, and automate recurring tasks. This reduces reliance on email chains and manual trackers.
I have been using this application and I feel like this is a good solution to all the relevant problems.
Communication is key when it comes to organizations and Jostle is rightfully solving this problem so that is why I like using the software because it has many positive things.
The intranet software of Jostle offers well-balanced functions and all possible features that are important for an organization.
The biggest drawback that I have been facing for a very long time is that Jostle’s dashboard is not well designed and has all the feature that I needed on the go. I have to go through a lot of navigation panels to actually land on the right page or tool.
Secondly, needs more customization with the events function, which has to add more flexibility in operations to be able to customize the calendar. The library needs a lot of customization and a lot of features need to be added like different categories to easily access the different things.
Windows Explorer users have some difficulty having to constantly UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD files. Specifically on the DOWNLOAD when they are used to Drag & Drop in & out of LOCAL folders via Window's explorer.
Microsoft SharePoint supports multiple "library" types. When implementing our "image" library the search function is done via "tags" and boolean logic. This is challenging to most end users. I'd like our users to be able to search our Microsoft SharePoint image library without having to enter KEYWORD or other BOOLEAN logic.
Microsoft SharePoint can also be an internal website for each department or company wide communication tool but I believe these features are geared for much larger organizations. Since we are a SMB we really aren't using these features. So maybe something more useful to SMBs would be nice.
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.
It's a wonderful product that can be used from a computer or from the ease of an app on your phone. I love that my team can have access to Job Aids from their phones while working out in the field. I have not personally had any issues while using Jostle and I highly recommend it for your business.
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
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.
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.
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.
Jostle is a communication-based intranet fix that is easily accessible and available in the market to resolve one of the most common problems of communication within organizations.
I like how Jostle has made all of us unite on a single platform where we can share all files and ideas as well.
Jostle has proved to me that it is the best mode for our department.
