Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL
MS SharePoint / SQL at this time is being used in various departments across the company. Its most useful role is occurring in shipping and receiving. It has also helped in normalizing data across various databases in a rational manner. It has proven to be more stable and flexible than tools used in the past. The reporting services really stand out for the work being done.
- Content storage is excellent with a full range of data types being supported and able to organize such as individual documents like files in document libraries as well as lists and web parts
- I believe these are strengths because the functionality is already built in and we can concentrate on the more complex needs we have rather than building from the ground up
- I am happy that we can deploy PowerPivot for SharePoint and Reporting Services in the same SharePoint farm
- Until I have my total automation packages in place it is difficult to handle things when a service or services stops.
- Intermittent connectivity has occurred but that has been mainly due to differing versions of software but it still seems more difficult than it should to identify the source than it should be with our automated tools
- Retrieving documents reliably was a difficulty for a while until it was determined, again, that differing versions contributed to the problem
MS SharePoint / SQL was selected because of a long, trusted relationship with the vendor. Compatibility is also an issue. With a large installation already in place it made more sense to upgrade the system rather than start working in products in a patchwork. There is no way that a impact to business can be tolerated.
