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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

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.”
JB

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.”

“Search and dynamic views surface the right document and version in seconds, while no-code workflows standardized approvals and cut manual follow-ups.”

“M-Files lets me use metadata tags so that the specific document I want appears immediately. Since the AI-based classification learns my preferences, it becomes consistently accurate and intelligent after a few uses, to find files across systems.”

Purchasing Analyst

Cons

“The learning curve can be pretty steep, especially when it comes to managing permissions and site structure. If it isn't set up properly from the start, the search function can get cluttered quickly, making it tricky to find specific files.”

“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.”
CW

Clyde W.

System Administrator

“There is a limited amount of page layouts which means it is not possible to make optimal use of the screen real estate and users need to scroll.”
