"Finally, a very simple way to update SharePoint lists"

4/5

What do you like best about SharePoint List Synchronizer for Excel?

This tool has saved me a ton of time and headaches. I was able to update 1000's of records in a list and import new items with no issues. The support was quick and detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SharePoint List Synchronizer for Excel?

-When updates are sent back to SP, there is no progress bar, and EXCEL becomes unresponsive. But EXCEL does not crash and updates seem to always complete. Only rows with updates are committed.

- READ or COMPUTED fields become editable in EXCEL - it can lead to confusion.

- How to insert multiple rows is not obvious but the vendor has provided ample documentation.

- If you are planning to integrate this tool with other software, there are no VBA examples provided.

- You may also get conflicts as Sharepoint lists may have been updated via workflows prior to committing the changes back to Sharepoint.

- The cost vs value is a bit high if you only need this once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SharePoint List Synchronizer for Excel solving and how is that benefiting you?

When you have to update 1000's of records or import records this is the simplest way and most cost-effective way. I have tried numerous other tools such as MS Access, inline importing, PowerShell. By using this tool, data errors such as exceeding field length and invalid choices can be quickly corrected. The software comes with no subscriptions, so the cost is just a one-time investment with no annual fees. The support is reasonably quick, detailed and honest. If you work with SharePoint lists a lot, this tool is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
