Microsoft SharePoint: A Complete Solution for Document Storage, Sharing, and Workplace Collaboration

Microsoft SharePoint is a huge assistance to me in my everyday life; it keeps all of my project-related documentation and study materials organized in one location.

PROS

Records can be stored, arranged, and edited in at a single spot with Microsoft SharePoint's outstanding management features. Collaboration on the same assignments along with data sharing amongst teams are made simple by the application. Furthermore, its integration with every other Microsoft program is excellent.

CONS

For an individual who uses it for the first time, it is not easy for them. Although it took me longer to realize, once you had it in your fingers, it truly does assist. My recommendation is to make it easier for users.

I use SharePoint for everything

Shapepoint is a platform that is is growing for content management services and offers a high amount of value today for any adopter. The experience is quite positive as users who gets trained once to use a SharePoint site are ready to use any other site due to the standard uniformity that is baked into the application. Once you have office 365, you should try to built your next enterprise internal focus app in sharepoint.

PROS

SharePoint is like a flat table top that is empty at first but you can use it to create all sorts of database and data storage application for you small to mid size organization without the heavy lifting and IT capital expense. Apps can be designed and developed for internal organizational staff use in days. Apps can be modified with low or no code experience. Organizational users, after using the SharePoint tool can transfer their practice on any other SharePoint site/app, this helps with institutional strengthening where the framework is one standard platform that can be used to fit most or all internal system. SharePoint is at least secured as much as O356 can be. I use SharePoint online only these days. I must say that sharepoint list are greatest tool every but you have to get a forms designer to make them very exciting and function especially when you are considering to build a full system.

CONS

It a growing platform. Today, I think that Microsoft need to include an easy to use SharePoint forms design tool with the product. Customization of forms with PowerAPP is not suitable today, too much work to get just little activities and task. There needs to be an infopath replacement that is easy to use. Sharepoints at this time of wring sucks from a design and layout perspective. If you looking for functionalities, Sharepoint got you back, if you want to have the best modern UI then you will not like SharePoint.

Reason for choosing Microsoft SharePoint

It is offered as part of the O365, I did not originally choose it. But then after using NetDocument which then started to point to integration with OneDrive I notice that a decision was to be made. The decision is SharePoint and OneDrive. Collaboration, Controls, liberation, without any of the IT headaches.

Essential for Collaboration

PROS

SharePoint makes it seamless to collaborate with others across the company. Powerful sharing and permissions settings allow secure document storage and sharing. Version control and ability to restore prior versions are essential for reducing errors

CONS

Some of the more advanced features are hard to use such as custom permissions settings. Takes some time to get used to the user interface.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint integrates with Microsoft Office applications which are significantly more advanced and powerful than google's options such as google docs. Google Drive is good for basic use cases but SharePoint covers much more advanced and high volume usage
