Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint
MS SharePoint is our organization-wide document repository. With a dispersed company workforce, it was essential that we used a cloud-based program for organizing and sharing all our documents. We stored procedures, released CAD prints, test reports, projections, bills of materials, and all other company-wide documents on SharePoint.
Pros
- Cloud document sharing.
- Revision control.
Cons
- Read/write control.
- The ability to "boot" a user from a document to seize control.
- Messaging users that they are locking a document without editing for a long period of time.
- Good collaboration.
- Locked files stay locked to an inactive user.
- Versioning made returning to a previous document very easy, saving a lot of time recreating documents.
MS SharePoint had great Microsoft product integration compared to other services, and was a more complete enterprise package. We didn't evaluate many other services, as SharePoint's integration into other basic office programs was more valuable than saving a little bit or unnecessary features. Also, because of the breadth of SharePoint's apps, we could have all things in one place, instead of multiple services.
