ShortPoint gets fast, great looking results

Excellent - this product allowed me to complete a very challenging rebranding exercise in a very short amount of time. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to complete the project and would still be writing custom web parts using SharePoint framework. Customer support was also excellent. I logged an urgent ticket and had someone on a call within half an hour - and the support person really knew their stuff. Normal requests are answered within a few hours.

PROS

It's fast to get a great looking website up and running in no time. The components it has look great and having the ability to copy elements from their example sites really speeds things up. Most of their web parts can be connected to lists or libraries which is necessary as a license is needed to edit these web parts so using connected lists/libraries puts some control back into users hands. Very flexible and powerful software collection and there's really not much it can't do to a SharePoint site to make it look the way you want.

CONS

Requiring a license to edit is a bit of a downer - wish there was some intermediate license or method for others to edit pages with ShortPoint elements on them without requiring the full blown license. Although you can add ShortPoint web parts to modern pages, you can't use the site customiser if your home page is not a classic page. Looking forward to the site customiser for modern pages - once that arrives, will really be pleased.

Vendor Response

Hi Alastair, Thank you for your feedback. We are about to release the Theme Builder (Site Customizer) for Modern Pages in next few days. After that you will be able to customize each and every aspect of Modern SharePoint Sites with precision. We have added even more features in Theme Builder for Modern Pages.

Improved Access to SharePoint with ShortPoint

ShortPoint has enabled us to create internal SharePoint sites that are user friendly and attractive for our multi-generational group of Associates. It has provided us with the opportunity to show how flexible SharePoint can be and how accessible for company-wide information that is important to all Associates. As a company, ShortPoint has been supportive from the time we purchased our subscriptions and all the way through development and learning how to use the software by being quick to respond when we had questions.

PROS

ShortPoint has an extensive group of features that are easy to understand and use with SharePoint Online. Since we wanted to create modern sites, it was important that the software we selected work well with that format. In addition, the selection of demo sites and features are great with the ability to copy from the ShortPoint page right into our own site - making it so easy to develop a page quickly.

CONS

The ability to embed html code or widgets into a ShortPoint widget would be a great feature to add. There are other minor properties in some features that could be improved but, all in all, the software doesn't have any major cons as we've used it.

Reason for choosing ShortPoint

We were looking to keep costs down while getting a software that could be flexible for what we needed and envisioned for our sites. We also wanted a software/tool that was reasonably easy to learn quickly to meet the project due dates we had planned.

Shortpoint is good but still needs work

Overall, I guess it's better than SharePoint alone. There are some things I really like about it but many things I have found are frustrating or don't do what I really want.

PROS

I like that Shortpoint gives you a number of look and feel options for your pages. It's relatively easy to use but could be easier. I have to say that Shortpoint Support has been helpful to me for the most part although there are a couple of long time issues that have yet to be solved.

CONS

I hate that if Shortpoint is deactivated for any reason that you have to hit every page on the site to reactivate it. I hate that I have to remember to hit the save icon or take a chance of losing my work (it wasn't always like this), I hate that I have to reset the "link field" in tables if I put that table into edit mode after the link has already been selected (I have been waiting for a year for a fix for this). There has also not been an update in quite some time that I am aware of.

Reason for choosing ShortPoint

Our development team reviewed them both and found more options with Shortpoint.

Amazing Product to help you create professional & amazing intranet sites.

PROS

has multiple features to help you adjust your intranet site look & feel, control image sizes, texts insert icons, there is no need for any coding or prior web development experience. any user who has good knowledge in computer (works for IT) can pick it up. also their support is excellent and prompt when you raise a ticket & there is sufficient documentations on their website with screenshot guides to help you get started.

CONS

integration with microsoft out of the box features is minimal at the moment, if you want to mix & match webparts between the 2 products to use their best features the site feel will be strange. they mentioned they are working on integrating microsoft webparts inside their product, if that update is done it will be a game changer.

Reason for choosing ShortPoint

their multiple editing features, ready templates and sections on their websites, the copy & paste sections functionality,their knowledge library that is detailed with user friendly screenshots and guides.

Vendor Response

Hi Omar, thank you for the review. We have rolled out an integration of Microsoft Web Parts into the ShortPoint product on November 21st, 2023. You can read more about it here: https://www.shortpoint.com/roadmap I hope this helps!
