Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SharePoint

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Organization uses Microsoft SharePoint as an organization tool. It allows us to keep track of all our documents that are necessary for us to complete our duties. If we need certain documents kept together, Microsoft SharePoint allows us to keep them together through different folders. It may seem simple, but it is actually a really nice tool to have.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Help keeps documents organized through the use of folders
Allows for easy access and finding of documents through understandable pathways
Make sharing documents with others in the organization easier

Cons

Could make it easier to find documents by maybe having a folder for recent/frequently visited
Make a favorites tab for the more frequently used folders/pathways

Return on Investment

It has made organizing documents much easier and does not require us to pay someone to create a bunch of folders on a drive
It helps with efficiency by making putting all the documents in one place
Sometimes if a folder is in a confusing spot, it can take extra time for certain people to find what they are looking for

Alternatives Considered

Google Drive

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 over Microsoft SharePoint the fact that Google Drive is free and also shows you your most recently visited documents.

Likelihood to Recommend

I like Microsoft SharePoint because it makes it easy to share many documents with multiple people within an organization or group. It helps keep them in an organized status and allows for those in the folder to be able to find them through the folder pathways. A scenario where I would not use Microsoft SharePoint would be if I was sharing a few documents with a few people, as I could just email them over creating an entire Microsoft SharePoint.
