Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL
MS Sharepoint, utilizing SQL as the back end, is used by our organization as a single point for document storage and versioning. It also is used to host workflows and forms. We also use it extensively for hosting internal IT documentation.
- Document versioning - provides an easy way to view the history of a document and allow for collaboration
- Customization - easy to build custom pages to accomplish what you need
- Integration - works well with the rest of MS Office
- Search is not up to modern standards
- Database storage of all documents as BLOBs makes the databases overly large
- Settings required make a dedicated SQL instance required
