Product Details

What is SharePoint?

MS SharePoint / SQL refers to Microsoft Sharepoint, a web-based collaborative platform, being used in tandem with Microsoft SQL Server to provide business intelligence analytics and reporting. They can provide BI content such as data connections, reports, scorecards, dashboards, and more.

With Sharepoint, users can share files, data, news, and resources. Sites can be customized to streamline teams’ work. Team members can collaborate inside and outside the organization, across PCs, Macs, and mobile devices.

Sharepoint also supports the ability to discover data, expertise, and insights to inform decisions and guide action. SharePoint’s content management features, along with connections and conversations surfaced in Yammer, enable organizations to maximize their velocity of knowledge.

Users can also accelerate productivity by transforming processes—from tasks like notifications and approvals to operational workflows. With SharePoint lists and libraries, Microsoft Flow, and PowerApps, they can create digital experiences with forms, workflows, and custom apps for every device.

The platform was very easy to use. It is organized in a way that makes a lot of sense to me. I am a very visual learner so the addition of more instructional videos, in particular, would be helpful for me and other visual learners. Overall, when I had questions I was able to find them answered in writing.

SharePoint is a great CMS and DMS, has lot of out of box features. It is secure, stable and reliable. It has a Central Admin through which all the SharePoint sites can be configured and managed. As SharePoint is a part of Microsoft Office, the support if required from Microsoft is great.

Support for SharePoint is quite good. Microsoft provides good support. Microsoft offers
  • Quick turnaround time for issues
  • A range of support services
  • Access to a network of resources
  • Escalation of issues
  • Ongoing development and commitment to produce enhancement
The majority of support is required for initial installation. Once complete and the system is operating we have had very few support issues.

Support varies by tech and by vendor. I've used Microsoft's support channel and for the most part have been successful to get my questions answered. I've also used third party vendors and have gotten some answers resolved as well, though sometimes getting them on the phone is difficult. It all depends!

The time lapse between identifying the issue and getting a final, ready to go, solution can sometimes be longer than desired when the product is in production and our daily operations depend on the products ability to perform correctly.

My experience with the SharePoint support team has been pretty bad primarily because of the support rep simply not listening to what the problem is and them being too quick to blame it on another issue and require me to put in another ticket due to "scoping" issues.
