Overview

Product Information on SharePoint Server

Updated 13th October 2025

What is SharePoint Server?

SharePoint Server is a software developed by Microsoft that offers a platform for collaboration, document management, and information sharing within organizations. The software enables users to create, store, organize, and manage content such as documents, lists, and workflows. It supports features including enterprise search, access control, and integration with other business applications. SharePoint Server facilitates internal communication, automates business processes, and helps teams manage projects and content securely in a centralized environment. By providing tools for version control, metadata management, and site customization, the software aims to streamline business operations and support regulatory compliance across organizational departments.

SharePoint Server Pricing

SharePoint Server software follows a licensing model based on server and client access licenses. Organizations purchase server licenses for each instance of the software deployed and client access licenses for users or devices accessing the software. Additional costs may apply for extended functionalities, versions, or integration with other Microsoft products. Pricing varies depending on deployment method and scale of use.

“My Review for SharePoint Server ”

3.0
Dec 29, 2022
SharePoint enables users to share, manage their contents, collaboration across the company, finding information quickly and so on. There are multiple uses of this product. You can use it for storing data and it keeps it safe and organized. It allows us to share files via emails without any glitch. On the other hand SharePoint is highly personalized but not easy to work on. It takes time and alot of efforts for it. Navigation is easy to comprehend but not flexible enough. If other user made a change in an original file and saved it. Nd if we want to go to the original file that is not possible. It has issues with version history. If folder's name is same there will be no version history created for it. Uploading a file is easy but it does not Integrate much with non Microsoft tools and apps.

SharePoint Server Likes & Dislikes

Like

Allows users to access eachothers docs and use updated templates.

Like

Navigation can be understood in simple ways. File sharing is done securely and give a good UI. Multi users cn simultaneously collaborate a common file at same time. Most of the services are connected with each other that is why switching between them is easy.

Like

You have full control of all the data. Access control can be designed as per need. Document versioning is one of the best features. You can have multiple site collections, and you can also publish sites over the Internet. Cross-site publishing is another feature that we use which comes in handy where you have an author site and a few publishing sites. Since its integrated with Active Directory, you can also configure the user profile service, so all users have their own profile page.

Dislike

People being able to make changes that can affect everyone if made by mistake

Dislike

If the user has made any changes in orginal file, you cant go back to the previous one. Tools tips which are mentioned are not adequate for new users.

Dislike

Migration can be challenging if you have too many customizations. Some features may be deprecated over time. If you're using and third-party integrations then it might become more complex, and troubleshooting may require multiple support teams to be on the same page. It might be an expensive solution for smaller companies.

    We have been using SharePoint Server for a long time and it's one of our core Line of Business app. We have departmental sites hosted on it which are being used heavily every day. This content management system is a must have for all organizations. The capabilities and features it offers are the best in the industry. It also integrates flawlessly with other Microsoft products and supported third parties.

    We've gone away from our internal servers and use the cloud version which Sharepoint helps with. We are generally happy but there are a few things that aren't optimal.
