FlyView For SharePoint Reviews

This product has some useful features, such as history, favorites,fast JAVA script novigation. I like to use these features in my every day work It makes my Sharepoint experience more enjoyable. The product has quite a useful interface and it easy to install. It took me about 2 minutes to install this product for the browser based navigation and I would also like to test the server side version in the future.

I didn't find any negative features at the moment. Probably further testing might show some negative features, but so far I haven't seen any. Possibly, because the product is very new, some drawbacks will be found in future.

I would definitely recommend this products to other people which are engaged in the SharePoint and IT sector. I belive this product is very helpful and it will benefit both individual and enterprice users.

I use it for office 365 and sharepoint library and site navigation. I have tested the product for some time and it appears that it meets my business needs for proper and fast navigation and good control for SharePoint and Office 365

This powerful Chrome extension allows to navigate on SharePoint sites and site collections, and it does not require additional page refreshes. With this extension users can simply jump to any library or subfolder, or open file directly from the FlyView menu. And what I like most in FlyView is “Instant Search”. This feature at the top of the menu allows to quickly get the file, without having to open library itself. It works even if SharePoint Search Service Application is not configured, a user just need to start typing part of filename.

When I first time added this feature I didn’t understand where it is and what it does. We need to refresh the page to apply it.

Fly-View feature is very easy to adopt, no matter if it is small organization or enterprise. It makes navigation between SharePoint pages faster and more effectively. I think this tool could be very useful, because it helps in accessing hidden sublevel content, and makes users much more productive.

It allows finding data more comfortable and faster, and also provides quick preview for documents and pictures, that could be very useful. FlyView “Advanced mode” enables you to navigate to “Site Settings”, “Workflow Settings”, and all other SharePoint Application Pages too.

Site History

Site Pinning

Quick Navigation

Preview Pane

Ease of Installation

There are no things I dislike about this product at this time. Only positive experience

The solution creates Breadcrumb and Navigation in the Chrome. As you know Breadcrumb is deactivated by default in SharePoint 2013. It might not be very easy for users who are not familiar with SharePoint Designer to activate the Breadcrumb. For Advanced users, it’s not difficult, but it takes less time to install Flyview than activating the Breadcrumb. If we have an existing environment and we need to activate Breadcrumb on multiple site collections, it will take some time. On the other hand if we use FlyView – we have to install it only once in the browser. This add-on automatically detects SPS site and creates JavaScript based navigation.

The navigation is quite fast, compared to standard SharePoint navigation. JavaScript rendering is faster than standard navigation, when we have to click through a document library to get to a specific document.

This add-on can be useful for small and large businesses and it will save time for SharePoint users.

Flyview History is another feature which is worth mentioning. If you navigate to a SharePoint site, the site address is stored in the history and can be accessed easily. Technically, if we need to access already visited sites, we can use the browser history, but the good thing about Flyview, is that it focuses solemnly on SharePoint, but not any other site types.

Instant search is a great feature too. It is faster than regular search and a user can search any library instantly.

Document pinning can be quite useful feature too. It allows users to pin multiple documents in preview mode on the screen and to compare those if necessary.

I can give one specific example. Not long ago, I have completed a migration from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 and the main question most users had – where is the breadcrumb? In many enterprises, when SharePoint 2013 version is used, Flyview is a very useful add-on.

In general, I would like to give some positive and a little neutral feedback.

Neutral: The plugin is quite new, from what I understood it was developed about a year ago, extensive knowledge base is not available, the price for the server version is not known.

Positive: Client version is available, it quite useful and works fast, very easy to install, Chrome browser is supported, document previews are available, SharePoint site history is available, no known compatibility issues, instant search and document pinning. Server version is quite easy to install also, it’s only a matter of uploading and activating the solution at the site collection level.

In conclusion, I would like to state and I will be using this add-on for business projects in SharePoint 2013.

Speed of Navigation within SharePoint 2013

Easy navigation to all points within the site and its children. Exposition of site contents. Good tool for speeding Power User adoption within SharePoint. Works on all SharePoint sites including publicly facing ones you may not have known were SharePoint based.

Occasionally the fly-out will interfere with site layout and top toolbar content.

Great time saving tool for developers, administrators and power users.

Quick visualization and navigation of site and sub-site structures in SharePoint.

Through FlyView, one can directly navigate to desired page or media without browsing through several pages. It also creates an easy to navigate structure on the fly for whole portal including subsites which is amazing. Awesome thing, which I like most is that, page or any other media can be viewed, download or print on the fly. Searching is also available to make navigation faster. Searching is available separately at each level to seamlessly and quickly filter results. It also has an option to switch to advanced mode to see hidden locations or site settings. While navigating I can also bookmark a page or media for later retrieval. It also maintains date wise history, if I wants to take a look at what all I have navigated earlier.

It's easy to setup on Google chrome. However for other browsers, not yet launched. However company seems promising to launch it soon on other browsers. Till then, we just need to wait.

I will strongly recommend it to all organizations and individual developers who are developing on Sharepoint or thinking to adapt Sharepoint. I am sure it will increase productivity and make sharepoint navigation more of a fun rather than a headache.

I always found navigating through Sharepoint portal a tedious job but recently I come across FlyView, which is a SharePoint Navigation Tool. Since that day navigating a Sharepoint portal is more of a fun for me. It has made life easy by providing a custom navigation way.

Its lightning fast and very intuitive. It provides the quick way to navigate through content in the sharepoint without actually clicking on each of it. Navigation is lightning fast! It can easily navigate through the multiple subsites in milliseconds!

You can easily plug and play the extension from the google chrome.

Supports only google chrome for now as provided extensions.

Its definitely must use product. Its easy to use and saves you lot of efforts

Superfast, Ease of Use, Increase in Productivity, Saving lots of time and manual efforts

Flyview is great for navigating around SharePoint when local navigation might be confusing.

IF using in Chrome, you need IE emulators to work properly with SharePoint. This is not a problem with Flyview, but rather a problem with SharePoint and Chrome.

You will have to wait for IE and Firefox versions. They are in beta according to their support staff.

Navigating around SharePoint to all the places you have permissions. Employees can find SharePoint sites faster and documents within those sites.
