Pros

Microsoft SharePoint integrates well with Office 365. So long as the content is organized and users know what they are looking for, it can store a wealth of information.
It's simple for administrators to add and remove users. It is possible to restrict access to specific pages of a website to particular individuals or groups.
As long as the document structure is simple and keeps track of authors and last edited dates, it is simple to store documents in Microsoft's simple document structure.

On boarding process is so strong and the application itself is easy to use.
The camera on or off function works great and I find it very easy to mute and unmute myself so calls are quiet when needed.
I like the fact that it connects easily and over different time zones and I can add as many people as I can to the meeting as possible at one time without breaking up.

Cons

It does take some work to get your setup to be as graphical as modern design tends to be.
Overlapping calendars are great but they do take some time investment to create.
Depending on how many project or teams you work with it can get a little overwhelming to have so many different groupings.

Use less bandwidth during meetings.
Ability to rename attendees who have joined by audio only.
Using Breakout Sessions where participants are in the breakout room but are also in the main and their name still appears in the main room. Kind of like in no-man land.
The host tries to move them but it says they are already in the break-out room just 'not in session'.

SharePoint 9.8

Based on 21 answers

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

Webex Meetings 9.0

Based on 65 answers

The Webex system does work but the interface is quite dated. Everything is text and menu driven, sometime it is difficult to find a particular feature that may be hidden within the menus. We've utilized Webex for some time and we are familiar with the interface, we've found that new users to Webex have a hard time navigating the menus and their comments are that Webex is quite complex to navigate.

The graphic environment is very well designed. The buttons are well placed and customers and users can quickly become familiar with the tool. You can make any changes to the camera, background, screen, change the sound, change light effects, etc. The connection is very stable, it is fast to start and it does not take many resources to run it.

The support provided by Cisco is not as great as its product. Many times you lose time explaining the issue to representatives who seem to be not perfectly aware of how Cisco Webex Meetings works and who don't speak English very well. Often you need to exchange many emails to get the issue resolved and it takes much time.

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.

Online Training

SharePoint 6.4

Based on 1 answer

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.

That we needed complex implementation that we didn't get tells me 2 things: 1) the product was not designed in a way that "just worked" like some of its peers (Zoom / BlueJeans) and 2) had our company defined actual user needs and validated / verified that they had bought something that matched those, we would have pursued features / designs more closely aligned with what the product actually does: screen share, sometimes video, definitely VOIP audio (always an option regardless of license), and easy recording and retrieval of meetings.

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 Sharepoint

Webex Meetings proved to be better when stacked against Zoom and Microsoft Teams when it comes to hosting large meetings and providing documents to audiences. We utilize all three but Webex Meetings has proven to be the better application and most used and our clients have gotten used to using this over other applications.
