Pros

“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.”
VT

Victoria T.

Self-Employed

“It has helped improve collaboration across teams and departments by ensuring information is stored in a single location and is easily accessible when needed. While there can be a learning curve when first using the platform and SharePoint becomes a very useful resource once you get used to using it more.”
JV

Jordan V.

Sales Specialist

Pros

“I love that it can automatically change the reference style with zero effort and it can find the paper I want to cite by title DOI, link, whatever I throw at it.”

“It's a very user friendly tool, can be integrated into both GoogleDocs and Word and prevents me from messing up my references.”

“It is intuitive and since is connected to google docs as an extension I can have my info wherever I need it.”

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.”
CD

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.”
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.”

Adam M.

Senior Technical Writer

Cons

“The word plug-in, which is the most important thing to me since I write all of my papers in MS Word, can be buggy at times and sometimes does not update with new references/has to be recompiled frequent.”
LZ

Lisa Z.

Physician

“Lack of reference version control to explicitly link version numbers/dates to duplicate references and allow controlled deduplication is an issue.”
OM

Oliver M.

Research Associate

“The worst part of paperpile is when importing papers, it often finds non-published (arXiv) version of the papers instead of their published counter parts. ”
