Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint
We have run several joint projects with business partners. Data exchange and report sharing are always issues since data sets are rather large. Most business associates have had experience with SharePoint so deploying a SharePoint solution for each project has been very successful. Data was easily exchanged, all staff could easily get to information and it served as an information repository for staff entering the project late. Very easy to set up and administer.
- Many templates available that are easy to deploy.
- Cloud SharePoint is easy to scale and the managed solution minimizes IT resource requirements.
- No steep learning curves.
- It requires some discipline for the users to keep things organized. Some automation templates and features that are easy to deploy could help.
- Some admin features to have user access expire instead of having to go in and lockout users as projects transition.
- More sync and backup from cloud to in-house systems.
- Very successful deployment in a lean environment with low IT overhead.
- Established company image with partners as a solution-driven business.
We have looked at several cloud file sharing solutions. Limited configuration features and resistance from IT departments to allow cloud file sharing access make MS SharePoint the solution with a broader acceptance across partners.
