Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint
We used it across the whole organization. Sharepoint is used mainly for sharing files with teammates, as well as simultaneously editing them. We just tell each other that we have posted it on Sharepoint and that's all. Sharepoint allowed us to be efficient and saved us tons of time versus emailing the files around to each other all the time.
- SharePoint is great for file sharing.
- The ability to create and fill out online forms for business purposes is my favorite feature.
- I enjoy having the ability to grant different levels of access to different members of the team.
- Files saved can be easily tracked using your Office 365 applications.
- Uploading documents, you can simply drag a document onto a site page in any browser.
- It is hard to integrate sharing documents and uploading documents through my Mac.
- Finding a specific file without a proper link can be very challenging.
- Some of the sortings can be confusing when you are first learning the product.
- Some of the set up is not obvious. I watched a lot of youtube to help me connect the dots.
- For example, our server`s power supply failed two days before a grant request was due. SharePoint has given us the ability to safely and securely store our data as well access it from anywhere.
- I think Sharepoint has a very thorough way of organizing documents and makes it easy to edit them (thanks to the various Office Online apps).
- We use SharePoint 2013 for both clients facing and internal processes. We do invoice processing for our clients.
- Alfresco Enterprise Content Management and Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP)
SharePoint is easy to use for people familiar with or already using Microsoft Apps. If you are implementing Office365, it will come with most licenses. As a result, free is free. It's definitely a great tool for sharing and submitting files across a large organization and helps control the amount of information shared and keeps projects organized per business line.

Evaluating MS SharePoint and Competitors
Yes - Previously, to store documents in the cloud and their exchanges between employees, we used Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive. But after our company began to grow, and the possibilities of these programs were not enough for us, we decided to try SharePoint. The program pleased me with its capabilities and I was pleasantly surprised.

Easy to set up and train employees. It is easy to collaborate with other colleagues when working on team projects. I like Sharepoint's multi-device functionality, as well as its integration with various other Microsoft programs.
I think my opinion about this program and its functionality has not changed yet.
