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.
Atlassian Confluence isn't as robust with document storage but it does provide a good way to share detailed information in article or Wiki format. Microsoft SharePoint is more like a lightweight webpage creation tool while Confluence more like an enhanced notebook. Microsoft …
Microsoft SharePoint is more feature rich but that also comes with the cost of complexity. Needing to learn how to set up folders, documents, etc, with the right permissions isn't difficult, but to make sure it is done correctly does take some time to understand where to do …
Egnyte is the superior solution due to the way it segments data and provides a holistic approach to sharing and access. Microsoft SharePoint provides this a bit but could improve but the value of Microsoft SharePoint is greater given it is included in our subscription.
I like Microsoft SharePoint over Google Drive for its organization. I believe that Microsoft SharePoint keeps things much more organized than Google Drive. Also, typically when you purchase Microsoft SharePoint, you get the rest of the Microsoft Suite. However, Google Drive has …

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.

From what I have seen, Google Workspace seems to get the balance better. I think both tech giants are in a position to be indifferent to end user experience.
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 …
Since Microsoft SharePoint comes with the MS business office package, it is fully integrated with other office products and really works together with other MS Office products like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, Publisher, etc.. in real-time, so it's really easy to maintain …
Microsoft SharePoint definitely has the highest ranking for use with MS Office packages and integration into Windows devices--mobile or normal desktop devices. The cost for Microsoft SharePoint is also competitive in comparison and with local hosting options within APAC regions.
I prefer Atlassian Confluence for file sharing, wiki markups, and as a better tool for engineering documentation. Microsoft SharePoint is the tool that was chosen for my current organization, and I do miss using Confluence. Both tools get the job done and it is largely a …

SharePoint was selected primarily because of its inherent integration with MS Office. The other tools were easier to use and easier to set up, but not selected because they were a third-party integration with Office.
MS Sharepoint is much more simpler way to use if we compare it with BOX, Box is very slow loading app not that user friendly. Box need really good quality of connectivity. MS Sharepoint provide good after sales support. Query resolution time is really fast in case of MS …
Both Confluence and Sharepoint have similarities, but they also have significant differences. In both cases, people can use the wiki to exchange information with each other. Many platforms, including Mac, are easier to use with Confluence's better user interface. Compared to Con…

Dropbox has been used, but this is strictly for getting files from point A to point B with them being backed up. It is great and has great integration with the file explorer to access files. Adobe Sign is great for documents needing signatures but only serves this one purpose.
Dropbox UI is very cluttered and not well organized. It doesn't come with an office suite, unlike SharePoint. Inbuilt video player on SharePoint is great and has better playback controls than Dropbox video player. Sharepoint is integrated well with other offices 365 apps. Dropbo…
MS SharePoint lags behind its competitors in most areas. While it does offer more functionality, such as custom sites, MS SharePoint's bogged-down sharing system really hurts it. While sharing documents with coworkers, outside contractors, and guests is hassle-free with Google …
I think that MS SharePoint is a more robust and well integrated tool than other products. Because it lives in the Microsoft universe it likely integrates to the other software products you already have very easily. Most users will not have trouble adopting it as the UI is …
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 …
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.
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.
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.
