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

“I always feel secure knowing that my files are stored at home, in addition to the devices I bring with me.”

Mihail N.

Service Engineering

“Setting up my 2TB NAS drive into ownCloud & configuring my partitions exclusively for work & personal use proved to be an unchallenging task.”

Mohammad M.

Technical Office Engineer

“In general it is a very good tool to manage files between the company and the clients. And thus always have the files in real time both on our side and on the client's side.”

Sérgio B.

Técnico de informatica

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.”

Callum D.

Social Media Marketer

“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

“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.”
