Pros

“Calendar and scheduling features are useful for team coordination, especially when integrated with other Microsoft tools, making it easier to manage shared events and deadlines in one place.”

Swarnima G.

Software Engineer

“As an IT Professional managing infrastructure and productivity tools for a mid-sized company, SharePoint (as part of Microsoft 365) has become our central hub for document storage, team collaboration, intranets, and business processes.”

Joe B.

IT Systems Specialist

“MS SharePoint is a good tool to help organizations improve collaboration, streamline document management, help employee engagement and track projects. Although there is a learning curve to it and a complex interface, it provides a lot of customization to your business needs. If you already have other MS products, this is worth the money.”

Victoria T.

Self-Employed

Pros

“Good image for client's uploading process, ease of controlling potential buyers' access, branding options allow use of client photos used in CIM and other data.”

Barton W.

President

“Usually the human support team is good and thanks to [sensitive content hidden] for helping out a few times but it took over 4 hours to fix the locked data room issue”

David W.

Senior Manager

“The Claude integration meaningfully cut our diligence response times.”

Cameron G.

Government and Regulatory Affairs

Cons

“We also have frequent issues with users who upload a new profile photo to the directory taking several days to sync and eventually show up throughout Sharepoint.”

Clyde W.

System Administrator

“It also needs a proper structure from the start, because if folders, sites, and permissions are not planned well, it can get messy quickly.”

Basel E.

IT Manager

“In addition, search results can occasionally be inconsistent if documents and metadata aren't well maintained. Despite these points, none of them have been significant enough to outweigh the overall benefits we've experienced.”

Andrea L.

Innovation Manager

Cons

“When downloading files the downloaded file included the location number in the beginning of the document title, this was burdensome when needing to duplicate a room.”

Tara H.

Paralegal

“It's hard to find the toggles for participants notification settings if you don't remember where the option exists (one place) and what it looks like (it says something different. ”

Barton W.

President

“Some of the documents had too long file paths when downloading which would create 0MB files, not helpful.”
