What I like most about SharePoint is that it becomes a true central hub for all our documents, end to end. Dev specs, test plans, HR forms—everything lives in one place, and the right people can access the right folders and libraries. I can open a document and co-edit in real time; autosave and version history add a lot of safety, and comments or @mentions make reviews feel natural. There’s no more emailing attachments back and forth and wondering which file is the “final_final_v3.xlsx”—it’s simply one source of truth. Day to day, it’s easy enough to use: I click into a site, search is decent, and the layout feels familiar if you’ve been around Microsoft 365. I’m in it pretty much every workday, so it’s become part of the routine.

Setup and ongoing organization are also pretty painless. I sign in, our org policies and permissions apply automatically, and I can reach what I need from the web app or sync key libraries to my desktop with OneDrive when I need to work offline. New sites and libraries are quick to spin up with templates, and metadata plus views help keep big collections manageable. Retention labels keep compliance in line without me having to babysit it. Files open directly in Word/Excel/PowerPoint, we co-author, track changes, and then drop links into Teams channels so the conversation stays next to the work. It fits well with our other tools—Teams for discussions, Outlook for sharing links, and Power Automate for approvals and simple workflows—so handoffs are smoother and I don’t have to glue a bunch of apps together.

Feature-wise, it’s packed but still practical. Version history is a lifesaver, check-in/check-out is there when we need stricter control, and custom columns plus content types add structure. Views and filters make it easier to find what you need quickly. Approvals are straightforward with a flow: you can route documents for sign-off and see status without chasing people. External sharing (when allowed by policy) feels controlled and auditable, which helps keep clients in the loop without leaking anything. Search across sites, along with the ability to pin dashboards and pages, gives teams a solid home base for projects and documentation. On the support side, the help content and community answers usually get me unstuck quickly, and recent updates feel more like performance and polish than big, disruptive changes.

My only real dislike—and it’s not a dealbreaker—is the occasional sync or permissions hiccup. Every so often, a library that’s synced to my desktop gets stuck on “syncing” indefinitely until I quit OneDrive and restart it. Other times, a link I share won’t open for someone because the permissions aren’t quite right, and we end up having to adjust them. Search indexing can also lag on new content, so a document might not show up in results immediately. It’s all small stuff, but it tends to pop up at the worst time, making me sigh and then move on.

As an IT professional, I appreciate SharePoint's centralized document management, granular permission controls, versioning capabilities, and seamless integration with Teams, OneDrive, and Microsoft 365 services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SharePoint is a powerful platform, but in larger environments its administration and overall site structure can become quite complex. New users may need some time to get comfortable with navigation and document management, and more advanced customization often requires technical expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is well integrated with the Team and Microsoft 365 Office Suite. It does a decent job in files backup and synchronization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its UI / UX is outdated at best. The pricing of additional storage is extremely steep if the pooled 1TB organization limit is exceeded. There is little to no AI features within the SharePoint (or we are just not being informed of them). Search feature is pretty weak; we have to rely on third party tool to search our internal content. The cloud synchronization of Office files is not in real-time, which may cause content lost if the app crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
