Microsoft SharePoint Reviews & Product Details

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.

Microsoft SharePoint allows for sharing of files easily, allowing people to work on the documents and see updates in real-time. It's relatively easy to use; our team uses it daily as we are a fully remote organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the sharing of files has not been very easy and the implementation has been difficult, even when using the steps provided by customer support. There are some things built in that cause some difficulties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I particularly appreciate about Microsoft SharePoint is its ability to centralize all information and documents in one place, while making collaborative work simpler. The platform offers secure sharing, efficient version management, and quick access to data for all teams, which saves time and improves daily efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find disappointing with Microsoft SharePoint is that the interface sometimes lacks clarity, especially when the structure of libraries and access rights management leave something to be desired. Searching for documents can then prove to be complicated and time-consuming if the organization is not sufficiently rigorous. Moreover, some features are not always easy to use for people who only access them occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value SharePoint primarily as a central hub that allows me to easily access the documents I need, eliminating the hassle of searching through emails. In my experience with both Arval and Mondelez, it has been particularly useful for managing shared files, onboarding resources, and process documentation. I also appreciate how seamlessly it integrates with the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem, which helps streamline my daily tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the software is quite powerful, I find that the interface feels somewhat outdated and isn't always intuitive for newcomers. Navigating through the system can sometimes require more clicks than expected, and loading large libraries tends to be slow. While there are customization options, they aren't always easy to use without assistance from an administrator. I believe that a more streamlined design and improved performance would significantly enhance the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SharePoint is a very useful and convenient platform for file sharing and team collaboration. One of the best features is the ability to easily share large files with team members without worrying about email size limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization and setup may require technical knowledge, making it less user-friendly for some teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that it is shared internally across the company but there is also the opportunity to open that visibility to others external to our company.

Visually, Sharepoint is very neat and well-organized, making it easy to navigate to folders.

So long as you have internet connectivity, the website always loads quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any negative feedback to give about Sharepoint, to be quite honest! I believe that performance is all in how one uses a tool they are given. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SharePoint works well as a modern replacement for a classic file server. Our team can collaborate easily on files uploaded to SharePoint, and because it’s a cloud solution, we don’t need a VPN to access a traditional file server. It works from anywhere with an internet connection and is accessible from mobile devices as well.

It was straightforward for us to implement SharePoint document libraries since we already had Microsoft 365. I use SharePoint daily, and it’s easy to integrate additional workflows into SharePoint using Power Automate. SharePoint also includes built-in version control for documents, along with co-editing.

That said, Microsoft’s customer support is weak and I wouldn’t recommend relying on it. In my experience, you’re better off working with a third-party support partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SharePoint works well for my team, it isn’t a good drop-in replacement for a traditional file server. Before moving content into SharePoint, the data really needs to be cleaned up and reorganized so it’s structured appropriately. In my experience, it also works best when used in a browser, and local file sync doesn’t work well for this kind of setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of SharePoint, it's much easier to save storage space on my computer by storing files in the cloud. It's also very easy to find everything I need, including files that were shared with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there's a delay in being granted permissions to view a document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It keeps all our files in one place. No more where is that file? or 10 different copies in emails. Everyone knows where to look, and it works well with Teams and Word/Excel, so it feels easy to use. I also like that you can see who changed what and go back if something goes wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can feel a bit slow when there are too many folders or pages. Setting it up like who can see what sometimes take more time and clicking that it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sharepoint gives our company a single stop place for all training materials as well as many other things that we use for our day to day functions. We have a central location that all employees can utilize to find out important information to complete their day to day functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be harder to navigate but we do have a lot of information that is stored so sometimes it is more user error then error on the program itself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
