Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint
It was a collaboration tool used throughout my whole team. It was very helpful to share documents and presentations. Helped with version control and updated content and provides a sleek and effective way to share information across the entire organization.
- Version control which will allow for no re-writes or extra effort.
- Integration with Outlook and a simple way to use content management and collaboration.
- A detailed report of different documents and their completion.
- Very intuitive and simple to use.
- Tons of features to choose from that you can customize to fit your business needs.
- You can address multiple service providers.
- Time to load varies and can be a hassle when the entire company is trying to utilize one aspect.
- Can be expensive to add features as well as customization. Each customization feature requires some the back office work to ensure that it won’t interfere with current processes.
- Running more than one project at a time can become very messy. Projects don’t save correctly and sometimes are intertwined.
- End bill can be extremely costly if you don’t pay attention to the customizations and extra scripting being done.
- Time spent on document recollection was a negative impact as it did take some time and resources to make sure we had everything uploaded and ready to use.
- Fewer resources and databases needed however when using it for project management. This allowed only a small team to really understand and collaborate on missing projects, timelines, etc.
- Price is effective for what it’s needed for, just be sure to watch customizations as those can become pricey and usually don’t fulfill all requirements.
Is not a document depository but does allow for sharing of documents and collaboration and is much cheaper.

Evaluating MS SharePoint and Competitors
No - Manual document depository and project management tools. It was becoming too difficult with version control to do it all in excel.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Vendor Reputation
Features- we were looking for something that could accomplish all of our goals and still be used company wide and this was it. We needed it to be customizable as well and it has done that so far.
If we were to redo the selection process over again I would absolutely focus on price and review more competitors as I don’t believe we dove into that aspect too much because there was a deadline to meet.
