Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft SharePoint
SharePoint is used primarily for document storage. We generally have many people across different business units collaborating on a document simultaneously. SharePoint helps us to keep one version of the truth. It also assists for sharing documents via link to the direct file, instead of attaching the actual file, which could lead to many different versions. It is also very useful for versioning, especially when you need to revert to previous versions if you need to recover past content
Pros
- Central document storage
- Version control
- Document sharing
- Team sites
- Workflow
Cons
- Document sharing permissions don't always work well. Sometimes if you manage permissions of a document on e-mail it doesn't work. You need to share on e-mail + directly on the document
- Team sites are not always accessible to external users, even though they have access
- The search function doesn't always produce the best results
- It stops people from attaching large files on e-mail, which reduces storage usage on the exchange server
- It provides one version of the truth, which reduces wasted effort in trying to compare documents
- It keeps document secure by allowing you to apply permissions to restricted documents, thus keeping info safe and secure
None - have always used SharePoint
