Overview

Product Information on SharePoint

Updated 13th October 2025

What is SharePoint?

SharePoint is a software developed by Microsoft designed to enable organizations to create, manage, and share content, knowledge, and applications for seamless collaboration. The software offers tools for document management, workflow automation, secure information storage, and custom site creation. It allows users to organize and find information efficiently, facilitate team collaboration across departments, and integrate with other enterprise applications. SharePoint addresses business needs around centralizing resources, ensuring controlled access to sensitive data, maintaining document versioning, and supporting business process workflows to enhance productivity and reduce administrative overhead.

SharePoint Pricing

SharePoint software is available through subscription-based pricing as part of Microsoft 365 plans, with varying tiers offering different features and storage capacities. Pricing is structured per user per month and may differ based on the level of functionality required or the inclusion of additional Microsoft software.

“SharePoint Streamlines team collaboration with Easy Sharing and Robust Version Control”

5.0
Nov 26, 2025
SharePoint has honestly made working with the team feel way easier. Now that everything lives in one spot, I don't have to dig through emails to find right document or wonder if I've got the latest version. Sending out files is as simple as dropping someone a link and the built in version history has saved us more than a few times when someone accidentally overwrites something. It's just a smoother and more hassle-free way to handle project docs and reports. Setting up the right permissions is straight forward too. I like that I can make certain folders editable just for the QA team while sharing reports as read only for everyone else. And having all our company guidelines and policies there means I never have to chase down HR for details. Overall, SharePoint just helps us stay organized and keeps things moving, so we can actually focus on the real work instead of tracking down files.

“Centralized Storage and Strong Security Offset by Steep Learning Curve in SharePoint”

3.0
Dec 16, 2025
Sharepoint is great for having everything in one centralized storage space. It allows people in various areas of my organization to collaborate. However, I found it to be a bit of a steeper learning curve than I like and the user interface is a bit clunky.

SharePoint Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ability to share documents with a single link keeps everyone on the same page and cuts out the old hassle of email attachments. Having version history built in also brings peace of mind, since rolling back to a previous edit or fix is quick and simple.

Like

You can store multiple documents in one place and it works easily with MS Teams, One Drive, and Outlook. The security and data protection is also great, making me feel like my documents will be safe.

Like

Integration with Teams and Onedrive to provide a seamless but fruitful experience. Makes locating and integrating docs and text almost seamless. However, complex data sheets and data files are not as easy to work with and search.

Dislike

Sometimes the interface feels a bit cluttered, and finding specific settings or features can take longer than expected. There are also occasional sync issues when uploading documents from multiple locations, which can be annoying. Lastly, setting up permissions for new folders and projects isn't always as intuitive as I'd like, but it gets easier once you're used to it.

Dislike

It can be overwhelming for new users. I have had to help co-workers who have never used SharePoint before because they find it confusing and hard to navigate. It can sometimes be a bit clunky when teaching a new hire.

Dislike

Complex data/files that contain lots of details are hard to categorise, scan and search. Dedicated Insight engines offer much more, but again it is down to cost versus benefit. Search is not as advanced as it could be and uner testing/evaluation we used another insight engine to assist/better provide search facilites an this worked much better. Not sure what we will be considering, maybe splitting complex and less complex and using the insight engine on the complex only data.

    SharePoint Enhances File Collaboration, But Trash Bin Functionality Remains Challenging

    5.0
    Oct 13, 2025
    MS Sharepoint presented huge improvements in past few years, today is the key tool in big organization helping teams to organize all kind of files and to share them across the company. It allows you to collaborate more, sharing files in a fast and simple way. Today Sharepoint is part of my daily routine, I can organize my personal files, project files and even edit them in the online version. This is integrated with all other microsoft tools. One key feature would be to get help from AI to organize the files in different folders, get suggestion on how to split them into more organized folders and AI to identify the duplicity of content, avoiding usage of capacity.
