Microsoft SharePoint Reviews & Product Details

I use SharePoint for a lot of things, and it gives me the flexibility to easily create separate pages in my organisation for specific audiences. I’ve set up pages for training, comms, and HR. I’ve also integrated them with Power Automate, which makes things more useful and keeps everything cleaner. It allows my team to collaborate and run automations that generate more data in SharePoint locations that are restricted to certain users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple for normal users, yet still quite powerful for power users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Here are a few things I like about SharePoint. I appreciate the collaboration features and the way Team Sites help keep everyone aligned. I also like its document management capabilities, which make it easier to organize and work with files. The AI-powered search and insights are another strong point, since they help me find information more quickly. On top of that, the customization and flexibility let me adapt it to different needs, and the security and compliance features give me more confidence when managing content.

Below are a few points I dislike about SharePoint. First, there are integration limitations outside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Second, permission management can be complex and harder to maintain. Third, I’ve noticed performance issues when it’s used at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a shared repository where our team can keep all our documentation is very helpful. It’s also great to be able to save everything to the cloud automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The permissions setup is a bit tricky. To share a document, you can’t just send the link—you also have to grant permissions to each user. When I want to share a document across the organization, it’s sometimes hard to tell who already has access and who doesn’t. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can store files and share them easily with people on your team. I also like the ability to create an internal intranet and keep things accessible there. It helps that it’s a common brand, so people are at least familiar with what it is. Finally, I like that it’s similar to Google Drive and that you can collaborate on documents in real time.

For me, it has always felt hard to use. In the past, I’ve had trouble finding my files, and I’ve basically had to star them in my favorites and locate them that way, rather than navigating through the entire SharePoint folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its incorporation to overall Microsoft suite, additional extensions and plug-ins, easy integration with multiple tools we generally use in the corporation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some UX things to improve - like document label and property changes - some of those are "laggy" and feel inconsistent with changes that are/were done by other users in parallel. Resolving conflicts is more or less okay in general, but there's definitely room for improvement in document versioning and collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an occasional user, Microsoft SharePoint is a useful platform for storing and sharing documents within a team. As an occasional user, I mainly use it to access files and shared information, and it works well for that purpose. I like that it integrates easily with other Microsoft tools such as Teams and Outlook, which makes collaboration more convenient. However, the platform can feel a bit complex and not very intuitive for users who don’t use it regularly. Some features seem unnecessary for basic tasks, and navigation can take time to get used to. Overall, it is a solid tool for collaboration, but it has a learning curve for new or infrequent users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much, but it sometimes can feel complex or overwhelming at first, as there are too many features for simple needs, and navigation can be confusing. But nothing major in all honesty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to share content across teams and the wider organisation. Managing groups and online documents in SharePoint is straightforward, and the integration with Teams and Outlook works really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn’t support direct editing for a few file formats, and it can sometimes get slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a seamless documentation platform that works smoothly with the rest of the Microsoft products, making it a great place for both collaboration and keeping documentation organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only complaint is that with Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Channels, and all the different places where “Teams” can collaborate, it becomes really difficult to figure out what works best and then use it consistently. Otherwise, you end up with content scattered across multiple locations and start to feel fatigued trying to track down your artifacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Microsoft SharePoint is its user-friendly design. In our company, we depend on it every day, and even those who are new to the platform can easily find their way around with minimal training. SharePoint acts as a central hub for sharing important information, documents, and updates, which greatly streamlines our collaboration and makes it more efficient. Additionally, its reliability stands out—we rarely encounter any downtime, so we always have uninterrupted access to our files, keeping our workflow steady and dependable.

One aspect I dislike about Microsoft SharePoint is that the overall experience is greatly influenced by how it is managed. There are times when our SharePoint administrators fail to organize information effectively into well-structured pages, which results in content being scattered and difficult to locate. In these situations, finding specific documents or information becomes confusing and takes much longer, despite the platform’s potential for excellent organization.

SharePoint’s main advantage lies in its ability to manage structured content with a high degree of control. Features such as version history and check-in/check-out (when necessary) support collaborative work. The use of metadata, content types, and document libraries further enhances organization and retrieval. Additionally, retention labels and records management, especially when integrated with Purview, help ensure compliance. Permissions can also be tailored to meet the specific security requirements of an organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SharePoint is much more than a basic file-sharing tool; it serves as a comprehensive enterprise content platform. When people use it merely as a cloud-based shared drive, it often leads to confusion and disorganization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
