Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL
Our university uses SharePoint as our intranet portal. Each department created content for their areas and keeps it up to date. A governance committee works with IT to make larger changes to the main page and other areas as needed. SharePoint allows a fully collaborative environment so that IT is not the sole source of support. A large portion of our content is stored in this platform as well as being a launchpad for other web applications.
- Collaboration. Our entire university is involved in making SharePoint a success.
- Integration. As we are primarily a Microsoft shop, integration with Office and other Microsoft products is key for us.
- Performance/Design. Microsoft has designed their systems to scale for any environment.
- Learning Curve. SharePoint has a steep curve to figure out what it is and is not and what is required to get everything working together for complete functionality.
- Sprawl. The number of servers required can be daunting.
- SharePoint is only a basis for eventual use. Even functional items like consistent backups, workflows, and forms really require other products to perform.
