Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL
SharePoint was used across the entire organization as a supplement to the intranet. It was also used as a file repository. It helps streamline communications and makes information easier to find, access, and control.
- Access Control. SharePoint allows administrators to provide a great amount of control over who can see information, and what they can do with it.
- SharePoint integrates easily with other Microsoft products, making collaboration very easy. It has out of the box integrations with Skype, and Office, of course.
- Support is readily available with a very large user base. Open source alternatives can be frustrating when support is needed.
- For larger installs, the architecture can get complicated.
- Pricing could be better. As a Microsoft product, it tends to be expensive.
- For larger organizations, the layout can be complicated, and it is easy to lose your place. A share point environment can be expansive, so a way to navigate without getting lost is crucial.
Atlassian/confluence--more of an open source product. Wiki style content and not as formal as SharePoint. Much less expensive. I am ok with Confluence, but SharePoint wins on ease of use.
