Pros:
We have found Shortpoint incredibly easy to install and manage our employee intranet. Our brand is able to be consistent and professional, staff are able to easily find the content they need. Communication has become easier and felt less siloed. Shortpoint also has INCREDIBLE support. I know if I have an issue, they're going to be responsive and get to the bottom of it.
Cons:
Some of the more recent updates have broken other components and so we've had to stay at a previous version for awhile while they try to solve the issue.

Pros:
The custom ability of templates and features are fantastic! I utilize this feature more than any other and that alone is worth the price!
Cons:
Some of the connections to SharePoint sites can be difficult to setup. Once setup, some of the information being pulled can be painful if you're just guessing what information needs to be pulled from specific document libraries or lists.

Vendor Response

Hi Ahmad, We're deeply sorry that you were unhappy with the software. We received and responded to your email stating you did not get a chance to use ShortPoint and you'd like us to rollback your license 6-months. I'm sorry we were unable to do that. As we value our customers feedback greatly, if you'd be willing to meet with us regarding your personal experience, we'd love to hear from you and learn from any issues you may have had so we can improve.

Why you should use ShortPoint

Although early in the process, we have found the product fairly easy to use after some initial knowledge base search and learn sessions.

Pros:
After an initial introduction to ShortPoint, you quickly find there are many more tools than meets the eye to not only design but also to make your SharePoint environment welcoming for your end users.
Cons:
Although not a knock on ShortPoint, we definitely would like to see more designs within the Theme Builder. A second item has to do with Forms, instead of using Microsoft Forms we would definitely like to see more customization ability to integrate ShortPoint with the overall SharePoint experience by creating Forms and Approvals.

Reasons for switching to ShortPoint

Claromentis required an onsite deployment, whereas ShortPoint is in the cloud and reduced our overall infrastructure overhead.

Pros:
ShortPoint does a great job making an adaptable solution! They offer great support when you need it (incredibly responsive) and their collection of pre-built (useable) elements is awesome! It takes a lot of time out of the build process if you have the chance to leverage those elements!
Cons:
The new modern builder is still relatively new (so there's a learning curve) and it's a bit delayed in responsiveness, but very manageable.

You have to really work in the software a lot to get the best bang for your buck. There are a ton of features you can implement but you have to take the time to learn how they work and also have a google foundation on how SharePoint and lists etc work to max out functionality.

Pros:
It is by far the best, if not the only product that can really define a better looking sharpoint intranet than the default Microsoft stock offering, and really potentially add better content to your pages.
Cons:
There needs to be more work around live and grid mode, we need to be able to connect to Sharepoint out side of grid mode. copying and pasting is not working for both web parts and copying parts in grid mode.There is also some saving glitches, when switching back to published, the page sometimes doesn't load all the web parts it should.

Pros:
1- Delivery Time: ShortPoint drastically reduces the branding, design and development efforts required to build a state-of-art intranet. We were able to build our intranet portal within two weeks only with one developer who was not working dedicated as well! 2- Ease of Development: Given that branding SharePoint as not like branding any normal website, because it requires some SharePoint knowledge, we believe that ShortPoint is the ultimate tool that should be used by all organizations that have a SharePoint implementations. Using ShortPoint inserter, which hosts a great collection of reusable components/elements, the developer don't need to know about SharePoint branding anymore. Another core aspect of ShortPoint is the instance changes that you can do on the site. no need for deployment, IIS restarts, etc. Just edit the page, do your changes using ShortPoint editing features, and publish, that's it. 3- SharePoint Upgrade: This is a critical one, SharePoint upgrades will be much easier because ShortPoint will reduce the customization you need to do in SharePoint. SharePoint can be thought as a layer on top of SharePoint. 4- Development Cost: Developing advances intranets without ShorPoint will cost you millions depending on the features you require. With ShortPoint, you can achieve the same with almost no cost through internal resources/developers. Learning ShortPoint is extremely easy and actually it is fun to use.
Cons:
Ealier, few components were not rendering in IE the same way it was rendering in Chrome or Firefox. But that was fixed later on
