Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL
SharePoint is used across the organization as well as with external entities. SharePoint specifically addresses core business needs/problems such as: collaboration, rich search features, online display and edit of office documents, analysis, project tracking, external sharing of data, permission-based access of data/content, shared department/sub-department calendars, reporting, workflow orchestration, organization communication, video/rich media content distribution, version tracking on documents, two-stage recycling bin vs accidental delete within a file share, simultaneous file/ content editing and online presence display within team sites.
- Continuing along the lines of answer 1: collaboration, rich search features, online display and edit of office documents, analysis, project tracking, external sharing of data, permission-based access of data/content, shared department/sub-department calendars, reporting, workflow orchestration, organization communication, video/rich media content distribution, version tracking on documents, two-stage recycling bin vs accidental delete within a file share, simultaneous file/ content editing and online presence display within team sites.
- Specifically, SharePoint’s core advantage to an organization is the immediate speed a user can start using without training and structured process. This intuitive ease of use makes the adoption of the platform much more effective at the basic use level of SharePoint. SharePoint obviously integrates extremely well with Office products which are pervasive within any size of company.
- Webparts from solutions, sandbox solutions and/or apps definitely add to the ability of the platform to extend out core list/library elements to custom code development.
- One key area which SharePoint lacks would be within the areas of: ease of modification for interface / UI modifications for branding, site specific /library specific usage data reporting and inline content commenting and real-time collaboration (the Yammer promise).
WordPress – best for public internet
Confluence – simple, nice but somewhat lacking in advanced collaboration features
Google – easy to get started, cost effective, does not match well with Microsoft Office components.
