Access to the Microsoft O365 toolset. The access to the permits is packaged and its configuration is very easy. On the other hand, Synchronization of the document library has never been easier and more functional, as well as the synchronization of OneDrive files. The accessibility of the information that is needed to perform my daily tasks. Its design is very easy to understand. One of its biggest advantages is the ease with which I can share the link and create the flow, so I know when the file is approved and ready to move on. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** At the time of using the program the code disappoints, coupled with this, the design that is going to be used is unpleasant, you have to customize the interface, it does not have a real option which allows me to change the appearance, you can change the theme to a similar one with minor modifications, the search function is alarming because it often requires changes to the search schema and profiles in the root administrator; which is a nuisance. When you must edit the sheets in Excel in line with Share Point, it does not allow me to use the features you have because they are not available. If I want to share the document with another user, authorization must be requested from the owner, as long as the user is not configured in the folder. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft SharePoint:** I would suggest that you look for other tools or options until the design interface is much more intuitive to control; unless you are a web developer with time to manage this. If the product is used for the first time, let the product speak. Because of the experience SharePoint has had since he was with a company that used it for the first time. I would recommend to continue using it, because it has good It has good characteristics. As the program evolves it presents excellent features, when using Sharepoint, take note of how the company has stored its information in it and make sure that the routes to access important documents are noticed, so that there are no problems to find the information that is needed. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can access the files anywhere and we can edit files together in real time so there are no version problems.

On the other hand, sharepoint 2013 is used both for internal processes and for customers. We do invoice processing for our clients. SharePoint scales very well and adding new clients is so simple that we have been able to do almost completely with PowerShell scripting. ### 25.

Also if you try to open a document in excel not excel online the save feature doesnt work sometimes. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collaboration is a lot easier. Sharepoint is an amazing tool despite the shortcommings that I've mentioned. A must have for any team or project manager. ### 42.

Since it is Microsoft product, navigation and look and feel as very user friendly, similar to what's on Windows desktop machines. Use of product is very straightforward, although administration might become little trickier. Provides good document management for the price - most use cases will be covered, although in regulated industries it won't meet requirements for document management, but works great for intranets for sharing knowledge base materials across large workforce, making easy access and navigation to the latest documents, be it knowledge articles/SOPs etc. **What do you dislike about Microsoft SharePoint?** Although nearly all the content management features in SharePoint can be customized to reflect the content management needs, SharePoint still offers very basic content management functionality compared to other, purpose build software. Version control is very basic. To make the most of SharePoint, you usually have to do a lot of planning. If this step is missing, you will get lots of frustrated users. **Recommendations to others considering Microsoft SharePoint:** Administration and extending OTB SharePoint functionality might become costly very soon, especially considering for larger organizations almost definitely a need to tailor SharePoint to their business use case, the total costs should be taken into consideration. **What problems is Microsoft SharePoint solving and how is that benefiting you?** Eliminates documents sent through email, saves paper printing them, because available online for all parties.
