Syskit Point - the only way to make sense of SharePoint permissions
Pros
- Identifies opportunities for saving space through numbers of versions and provides a simple mechanism for deleting old versions.
- Ease of investigation and allocation of individual user permissions.
- Provides great views of sites and files that are overshared and provides a simple way to remediate.
- With the licensing add-on, it easily shows total licensing spend and also opportunities for rationalising them and reducing the spend.
- I love the Orphaned User report. Before this we would get enquiries from users why some previous employee still had access to their site. This report allows you to easily see where these users still have access granted and simplifies removing them.
Cons
- Nothing springs to mind - we just find the tool so useful
- We did have one issue with how the tool report on Sharepoint space, where as we were using Sharepoint Archiving, it would always report that we were over 100% of or assigned space. In reality we were not, but we did report tis to support and it now correctly atributes the space to live and archived data correctly
- TBF - Support have been very pro-active in addressing any issues as they arise.
Return on Investment
- Users and owners love the visibility it gives them of their sites and associated permissions
- One of the main reasons we got Syskit Point was to have visibility and be able to alert on site permissions being overshared. The tool makes this very easy to do.
