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 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.

“Initial Hesitation Overcome as SharePoint Enhances Collaboration Despite Permission Issues”

5.0
Jul 22, 2025
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

“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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    SharePoint Simplifies Collaboration But Setup and Navigation Challenges Remain Evident

    5.0
    Dec 8, 2025
    Overall, I've had a mixed but generally good experience with Microsoft SharePoint. It is an effective platform for managing, sharing and storing documents both within and between departments. It is especially effective for organizations that already use Microsoft products. When everything is set up properly it becomes a very dependable central hub for internal communication and collaboration
