Microsoft SharePoint Reviews & Product Details

It helps me organize everything into folders across different SharePoint sites, and it feels like a separate storage system. In my case, it’s where all the data is stored; from there, Power Automate and Power Apps can pull the necessary files and use them for automation.

It also makes it easier for me to connect to multiple SharePoint sites, which simplifies my automation work overall. The UI is helpful and easy to navigate. For each SharePoint site, we can assign roles and permissions to users based on their functionality and designation, which makes access management straightforward.

It’s hard to manage permissions, and customization is a bit difficult. Maintenance is required as well. In some cases, files can’t be updated at the same time; when I modify them, it takes a short while to refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Microsoft SharePoint is that it offers a centralized, well-organized platform for managing documents and information across teams. It keeps important files—such as reports, configurations, and SOPs—in one place with solid version control, which helps avoid confusion about the latest version and reduces duplicate documents. As a result, collaboration feels much smoother because multiple users can access files, edit them, and track changes efficiently. I also appreciate its seamless integration with tools like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Outlook, which boosts productivity by bringing communication, reporting, and workflow processes together within a single ecosystem. Overall, SharePoint helps maintain organization, improves transparency, and supports better coordination across departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Microsoft SharePoint is that it can sometimes feel a bit complex for new users, and the navigation isn’t always very intuitive at first. Performance can also be a little slow in poor network conditions, which affects quick access to documents. In addition, searching for files can occasionally be inconsistent, especially when proper naming or organization isn’t followed. That said, once you become more familiar with it and use a more structured approach, these challenges are manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easier to use than Access, and it’s convenient and customizable. It makes it simple to find a list of items. You can create different lists and then narrow those lists down in a way that makes sense to you. It also makes it easier for older people who grew up using Access to find the information they’re looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most challenging part for me has been attempting to integrate an Excel workbook, as I can only import one tab at a time. Additionally, it is necessary for the fields in SharePoint to match those in Excel, which adds another layer of difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
