Microsoft SharePoint Reviews & Product Details

A single pane of glass for communication and collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Native SharePoint workflows used to be very useful and convenient. Now Microsoft has shifted to Power Automate and other Power Platform tools, which you have to pay for. We used to be able to do much more with the native SharePoint workflows without any additional cost, but now it’s essentially the same capability under a new name—Power Automate—and you’re expected to pay for it. It feels like Microsoft started charging for something that was previously native to SharePoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Microsoft Sharepoint is easier to use than using the shared drives on the organizations computers. I find that being able to open share point via both program and browser gives you two options to access, in case something is faulty. I personally like that I can open share point in the web browser and find the interface easier and the performance is faster to use than using the microsoft apps.

I do not like that the Microsoft Sharepoint homepage is hard to navigate to. I also dont like how you have to be an owner in a group sharepoint in order to edit documents uploaded to a group sharepoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very easy to download files and share them across our organization. When I need to access something for training purposes, or to learn how to format specific communications or writing, anyone can highlight the relevant files and I can find them quickly. I can also share files for collaboration with team members who work in other locations or remotely, and I’m able to see their changes in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be fair, I don’t like that I don’t have access to everything on SharePoint. Certain files and sections require specific permissions to view, and I sometimes can’t find the information I need because of that. It’s not really a SharePoint problem so much as a security/clearance issue. That said, I can see how this is a positive for organizations, since it helps limit who has access to what.

What I like best about Microsoft SharePoint is how it keeps everything organized and accessible in one place, documents, team updates, and workflows, so collaboration feels smooth instead of chaotic. It makes sharing and working on files with others really easy, especially within the Microsoft ecosystem, and helps ensure everyone is always on the same page without endless email threads.

What I don’t like about Microsoft SharePoint is that it can feel a bit complex and unintuitive, especially for new users, navigation isn’t always straightforward, and finding files can sometimes be frustrating. It can make you feel restrictive if you’re used to simpler or more flexible tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a comprehensive collaboration platform that excels as a "single source of truth" through the seamless integration within the M365 ecosystem, particularly Power BI data sources and Teams-based file sharing. It allows for efficient version control as well as advanced permission settings that allow many individuals to edit documents simultaneously without compromising the integrity of the information. It saves me time every day, making it effortless to manage master files and share updates with the team instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The issue with the OneDrive sync utility is its reliability when dealing with large SharePoint document files. During the synchronisation process, I often encounter sync issues, such as "red X" errors, duplicate files, and conflicts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Microsoft SharePoint is how it centralises document management and collaboration in one secure platform. It makes sharing files and working on documents with multiple team members seamless, while maintaining version control and access permissions. The integration with Microsoft 365 apps, like Teams and Outlook, is very convenient and helps streamline workflows. I also appreciate its flexibility — it can be customised to support different teams, projects, and business processes, making it a powerful tool for both collaboration and knowledge management.

One drawback of Microsoft SharePoint is that it can feel complex and unintuitive for new users, especially when navigating document libraries or setting up sites. Customisation is powerful but often requires significant time or technical knowledge, which can be a barrier for smaller teams without dedicated support. Search functionality can also be inconsistent at times, making it harder to quickly find the right files. Overall, while it’s very capable, there can be a learning curve and some setup effort to get the most out of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a technical writer i like most about microsoft sharepoint is that it provides centraalized and reliable source for team owned documentation. I also appreciate sharepoint's versioning and lifecycle management. Having built in version history helps to ensure that everyone is working on the latest approved content while still keepinga record of past changes. It is really important for documentation that goes through reviews and approvals.

It is designed for shared ownership, not individual files like one drive. It makes the well suited for long term documentation such as user guides, policies, release features, and project deliverables that need multiple contributors. Stability and reliability for the long documentation is reallyup to the mark.While it may not feel as lightweight as local editor but it performs well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance can vary depending on network condition which can interrupt focus when working with large files or long version histories. As a writers perspective, it is not very author friendly. It works as repository, but for active writing, reviewing or restructuring documentation the experience feels less intuitive compared to other documentation tools.

I also noticed that copilot responses are often high level and generic when working with large and structured documentation libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience, Microsoft SharePoint is very useful for organizing and managing documents in a structured way, especially when working on design and documentation-related tasks. What I find helpful is how it keeps files, versions, and updates in one place, which makes it easier to track changes without confusion.

While working on documentation, I can store and access files without worrying about losing previous versions, and it supports better coordination when multiple people are involved. What stands out to me is how it brings clarity to file management, rather than having documents scattered across different locations.

Over time, I’ve also found it useful for maintaining consistency in how information is stored and shared, which reduces the effort needed to search or rework content. It fits well into my workflow where structured documentation and easy access are important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience, one challenge with SharePoint is that it takes some time to get comfortable with how everything is structured, especially when working with multiple document libraries or folders. Initially, it can feel a bit confusing to navigate, particularly when trying to locate specific files quickly.

I’ve also noticed that managing permissions and access settings requires careful attention. If not set properly, it can either restrict access unnecessarily or make files visible to the wrong users, which needs to be handled cautiously.

In day-to-day work, it works well once everything is organized, but reaching that level of structure takes some effort in the beginning. A more intuitive setup process would make it easier, especially for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about SharePoint is how easy it makes it to store, organise, and share documents in one central place. It’s really useful for team collaboration because everyone can access the same files, work on them together, and stay updated with changes in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can feel a bit slow and clunky at times, especially when navigating large document libraries. The interface isn’t always very intuitive, and finding specific files or setting up permissions can get confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use it extensively to store and manage key integration artifacts, including business requirement documents (BRDs), mapping files, and design specifications for our integration processes. It’s particularly helpful for maintaining well-structured folders across different integration flows—such as Customer Master, Orders, and Billing—which makes it easy to find historical documents, compare versions, and quickly access the latest updates when needed.

Another major advantage is using it as a knowledge repository. We keep meeting recordings, transcripts, and shared documentation in one place, which helps a lot during troubleshooting and also makes onboarding new team members much smoother.

The version control and collaboration features are also very practical. Multiple team members can work on the same documents, track changes, and stay aligned without losing context. Overall, it has significantly improved our organization, traceability, and day-to-day team productivity across integration workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any major dislikes about Microsoft SharePoint. It works well for our needs when it comes to managing documents, recordings, and integration-related files, and it has been reliable overall. I also find it easy to use for our day-to-day work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
