Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SharePoint

I use Microsoft SharePoint as a repository for documents and for sharing documents for co-editing and co-creation. It's a good way to get collaboration across a wide range of people and expertise within our company to make sure we address all concerns during creation instead of spending meetings to come to consensus afterward.

Pros

  • Controlled access
  • Shared content
  • Shared creation

Cons

  • Ease of defining access controls
  • Reporting on access/edit of documents and/or folders
  • Dissemination of info to the right people is good but exact ROI is impossible to calculate as many other options (including free) are available
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 what. Also, the clean up of old documents can be very cumbersome, especially when the original owner leaves the company.

Do you think Microsoft SharePoint delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Microsoft SharePoint's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft SharePoint live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft SharePoint go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Microsoft SharePoint again?

Yes

For a well thought out share location, this is a good solution, but for a quick and dirty just need to share a couple documents with 2 people, and the project is done in a week, then Microsoft SharePoint is too cumbersome to make sure the right controls are in place to protect your data.
