Sharepoint documents not shared **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tracy Ann T. | Special Educator | 2022-2023 | ALS/Math CoTeacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2024 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** The only upside to the software, is it is what is used by the organization. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** A number of times, when a sharepoint presentation was shared, it could not be opened. I had to contact the help desk, and they help desk indicated it was not able to fix the problem, I had to contact the person who created the presentation, since when the shared it, it was not formatted correctly to be shared with the intended audience. Go back to the persons using it "It's you, everything is good on our end." **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sharepoint is supposed to make it easy to share presentations and other documents easily, it does not accomplish this. I have found, in the past, if you move around from different offices, use a different computer, what you were working on may not be there when you log into to a different station. ### 11. All in one platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Madhan G. | Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2024 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** It's a one stop point for all Microsoft 365 software to use . I can access everything related to documents , files , presentations all at one place which is hassle free and easy to use . We have integrated it so we work on chrome too which is simpler and not much of a worry since it's a Microsoft product . **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** To be honest , I have had 2 to 3 lags in files due to almost 20 to 30 people accessing the same file . Maybe because of many people using the file at the same time , it hangs quite a bit . Otherwise there are no major setbacks on using sharepoint . **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** Problems related to sign off , sign in , manager requests approval , policy updates , employee requests approval etc are all handled at share point which is quite easy for the users to access. No need to manually do everything , once automated it does the job for us . ### 12. SharePoint . . . basic, just enough, but is there something better? **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike W. | QA/RA Team Lead, Medical Devices, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** It has what's needed to create a basic file/document repository and even host a quality management system (QMS). **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** Specific to quality management system (QMS), or any other document set requiring signatures and versioning and safeguards, SharePoint CAN get it done but it's not the best solution. It needs refinement in major ways to be able toc ompete with competitor products specifically designed for these types of applications. At my organization we built our own, but of course this is what we do; we build software solutions. Other organizations are not this fortunate and are forced to seek other options IF they are not already committed to using SharePoint (beyond the point of return or facing difficult migration). Building a system of documents that personnel can rely on for WI's, SOP's, etc. IS possible but it is FAR from fluid to maintain and navigate, and the versioning/approval process is a full time position at least. Ideally, depending on organization size, it would take a team of people just to manage SharePoint properly, making this an inefficient and difficult tool tool to use. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's forcing my organization to seek alternatives or build our own. That is the only benefit I can think of at this time, but sometimes that is what it takes for force cultural changes. It's just the loss of time it involves that is frustrating which could be used to get ahead instead of remaining further behind. ### 13. Sharepoint = Best internal website! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Meerali N. | SME, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2024 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** It is device independent, works on any browsers just login is required to access the content! It is one of the most secured place to store and share internal data for any organizations! It is also easy to integrate with Teams. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** It is quite uncomfortable to access using mobile screen, because it is preferred to be used in large screen! **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** As of now, it works as a solution to all issues, news updates, happenings, new program announcement, and all related info is shared in our website. It is internal website for our organization, means it is secured enough + no outsider can view it despite having link to it, without authorisation access to view! ### 14. Offers excellent document management, storage on files in real time **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2025 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** How centralized everything is, documents, team communication, and workflows. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** It's not compatible with Gmail, and it makes it difficult. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** Disorganized document storate, inefficient communication and manual processes ### 15.

Now you can have multiple people editing sharepoint pages at the same time, which made it so much easier to collaborate on! **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** When adding in large amounts of information, the pages slow down. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sharing information across the enterprise and creating a one stop shop for people to learn about important information ### 16. Seamless file repository and workgroup space. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hosam K. | BI Developer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2024 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** Microsoft SharePoint is secure and has a straightforward user interface, allowing me to easily organize files and control user access to workgroup sites and report files. It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft tools that my team and I use daily, like Power BI, Power Automate, and Microsoft 365 Office applications. SharePoint works great with power platform services like Power Automate and Power Apps as a repository for office files and data. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** Sometimes the file versioning function has some synchronization inaccuracies when co-authoring big Excel files to work on with coworkers at the same time, and I can’t track who made which changes. The User Interface looks old-designed, but it is easy to use. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** Microsoft SharePoint is an integral tool of my analytics workflow, which involves Power BI, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365. We use it as a file repository and organizer for Excel files, MS form responses, and business data pulled from our Microsoft 365 environment via Power Automate, allowing me to extract those files and load them to Power BI for analysis and report creation, sharing it back to my workgroup power app. SharePoint saves us the overhead of additional project management tools as it keeps our workflow within the Microsoft ecosystem and allows me to create micro workgroup sites dedicated to specific projects, including all the project files, communication, and feedback between members, needless to use third-party platforms or applications. The service enhances my team's communications and improves our people analytics and business intelligence workflow efficiency and processes. ### 17. Helpful tool for collaboration and document management **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex N. | Independent Consultant/Chief Marketing Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2016 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** SharePoint is a very good tool for document collaboration and storage. It's easy to learn to use. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** It can take a while to upload very large documents into SharePoint, but this can also depend on your server infrastructure and speed of connection. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft SharePoint:** If you are new to using SharePoint, meet with others in your group and with IT to plan your folder structure and discuss what documents you will store in there and how you will keep them up to date. You will also need to discuss who can have access to your librarie(s) and who will control the access. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** We solved the need to store important implementation documents online and keep them updated as they were developed. This allowed us to productively collaborate across our team and across geographical locations. It is pretty easy for most users to figure out how to use it as long as they have the correct permissions. Most organizations and clients I have worked with get up to speed in SharePoint quickly. ### 18. Excellent Central Platform to Maintain and Control Documentation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Usman Nazar R. | Senior ELV Lead Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2024 **What do you like best about Microsoft SharePoint?** I work in a big engineering design firm which works on multinational projects where we have to prepare deliverables for multiple different disciplines. Within this design we have 30%, 60%, 90% and 100% design phases and multiple revisions and comments by client and 3rd party reviewers coming in, Sharepoint is amazing via which we can centralize and control all these complex requirements. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** Live shared documentation where multiple people work gives problems sometimes especially when i open the document on my desktop app rather than on web, alot of times we have lost data when we update and it doesnt synchronize well with the live shared documentation. Cases of data getting corrupt has also been observed few times at critical stages by our project teams. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** It centralizes a huge team which is spread across multiple offices around the world. The traceability of the documents, comments on them and the multiple versions through out days, months and years are all well preserved for it. From engineering design professional procedure perspective it is an amazing tool. ### 19.

We know our data is the most up-to-date because they are on SharePoint. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** At first, I couldn't figure out how to get to the SharePoint logs through our company website, etc., so that has been problematic when I lose the shortcut. I would expect Microsoft to have a link button in Outlook or Teams, but I haven't found it; could be more convenient. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** My coworkers and I must keep track of letters coming in and going out, submittals we review and submittals sent out for other review and sending and receiving RFIs asked and responded; Real-Time log entries make it easy for my coworkers and I to avoid duplicating entries and tasks.

As soon as you make the edits, the sender sees them. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** The least helpful thing about SharePoint is that sometimes when you make changes (create a folder, etc) the changes won't show right away.
