Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our marketing firm, we have been heavy consumers of Microsoft products. As our company started to expand globally and due to the presence of many remote employees, we felt the need of using a proper content management system to improve interdepartmental collaboration. MS SharePoint was the natural choice for us mainly due to our existing alliance with Microsoft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Access and sharing through users is role-based and very familiar to the regular Microsoft Office suite.
Document versioning and backups is a breeze.
Microsoft SharePoint is one of the best tools for sharing and collaborating on internal documentation.

Cons

Exposing websites outside the intranet can be really challenging.
Customizations to provide the same look and feel to make it compliant with other company resources can be daunting as well.

Alternatives Considered

Joomla!, Drupal and Agility CMS

We like it better.

Other Software Used

IBM App Connect, IBM B2B Cloud Services, IBM Campaign

Likelihood to Recommend

Sharepoint backed with MS SQL was the right tool for us in managing our business content for projects and business deadlines. It allows us to safely host content and allow real-time collaboration on documents.
