Microsoft Sharepoint

What differentiates Microsoft Sharepoint from other similar products?

SharePoint stands out for its tight integration with Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, and Teams. This allows for seamless content collaboration through familiar Office interfaces. SharePoint's document libraries centralize files with robust permissions, search, workflows, and versioning. Its pages and web parts enable intuitive intranet/portal development. SharePoint offers full customization capabilities through its no-code tools and Power Platform integrations. However, complexity is a common downside. Competitors like Box offer simpler content sharing, while dedicated wiki tools like Confluence enable smoother knowledge management.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I love most about SharePoint is how it extends the Microsoft 365 ecosystem for seamless collaboration. I can intuitively manage Office files direct through SharePoint libraries with full version history, permissions, metadata, and search right in familiar apps like Outlook or Teams. Building SharePoint sites and pages enables me to create wikis, portals, and intranets that bring our Office content together into connected spaces. SharePoint web parts then allow me to customize and tailor these sites through easy drag-and-drop interfaces. As a SharePoint power user, I also love leveraging Power Platform integrations to enhance capabilities

What do you dislike most about this product?

While SharePoint is powerful, it is not without flaws. SharePoint suffers from being overly complex - its extensive features often make it confusing for average users. Even admins must dedicate time to fully grasp SharePoint’s capabilities. It can also be rigid if you want to simply share files or build a basic intranet wiki. Implementation with proper planning is crucial to avoid disorganized “SharePoint sprawl”. Being a Microsoft-only stack, SharePoint also lacks third-party app integrations seen in tools like Confluence or Notion. Cost can be another hindrance, especially for small businesses or teams with lightweight needs.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

SharePoint works best for organizations invested in Microsoft 365 seeking deep Office integration. Make time for thorough planning and governance upfront to determine how SharePoint will align to your work needs and avoid content chaos. Take advantage of document libraries for managing Office files with robust tools like versioning and permissions. Build SharePoint pages and wikis to consolidate organizational knowledge. Leverage SharePoint web parts and Power Platform to customize and extend sites through easy no-code interfaces. But don't overcomplicate - consider lighter dedicated tools like Box for simple file sharing
