Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it across our organization amongst all of our teams to share documents and collaborate. From a marketing standpoint, we also use their calendar to put in upcoming campaigns that we are running. It is also used to submit or receive tickets amongst our teams for any problems or request that needs addressing.

Pros and Cons

Allows all of our teams to seamlessly collaborate
Calendar gives the organization visibility into what campaigns or programs are upcoming

Doesn't handle large files well
Sometime when uploading video, it does not render properly and the file must be downloaded
The interface could be more user friendly

Return on Investment

Increased collaboration across teams.
Ticketing systems help us resolve any issue internally.
Extra visibility into what our teams are working on.

Alternatives Considered

Google Drive and Dropbox

MS SharePoint offers far more beyond just document sharing like Google Drive or Dropbox. It allows our company to collaboate and complete tasks in a timely manner. It is a more robust solution and offers better security, customization, and scalability than other solutions.

Other Software Used

6sense, DiscoverOrg, Wistia

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a great collaboration tool that allows teams to share files across the company. Also, MS SharePoint has solid security that includes a robust privacy control limiting which groups can see what. This is important to my organization as we are a security company, and a solution like Google would not work for us.

MS SharePoint doesn't handle large files too well, and the search functionality could use some work.
