SharePoint Likes & Dislikes
I like the versatility of what it can be used for. I like that it can be used for storage of files, projects, and collabs. I like that you can set defined permissions or leave it open to everyone. You can change the look per library and it also accepts uploads of all file types.

Read Full ReviewIntegration 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.

The one thing we struggled with the most was site permissions. After a year we noticed that the overall site permissions were bleeding through to the individual library permissions that we thought were setup. We were able to fine tune this, but it took a lot of work.
Read Full ReviewIt's difficult to manage the permissions in SharePoint, by default these are set to groups, but the groups are not actually visible within Azure AD or M365, so you cannot easily add or remove members. When you create a document library, uploading data can take time as this generally needs to be done one folder at a time, unless using a migration app. It's not easy to review document libraries and look at document usage, to figure out what data is and is not being used.
Read Full ReviewComplex 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.

Initial Hesitation Overcome as SharePoint Enhances Collaboration Despite Permission Issues
I learned about SharePoint about 2 years ago. Our company wanted us to stop using local drives and move all files to SharePoint. I was hesitant at first because who really wants to move thousands of files? However, I have truly grown to love SharePoint. We use it for everything. I use it for personal files. We have individual SharePoint libraries setup across the company to better organize ourselves but also to allow or limit access to different people all over the county. It really is quite an amazing tool - MANAGER OF IT SERVICES<50M USDReal EstateReview Source
Integration Within MS Platforms Effective, Limitations Evident Outside Microsoft Ecosystem
This works really well and integrates within our MS Platforms really well. Limitations are apparent when you go outside of the MS environment, such as Google. - SENIOR MANAGER, HUMAN RESOURCES50M-1B USDMiscellaneousReview Source

SharePoint Enhances File Collaboration, But Trash Bin Functionality Remains Challenging
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. - IT SUPPORT ANALYST1B-10B USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
