But as the requirements of my job evolved and I was asked for more, and better solutions. It was hard to accomplish that just with share point, of couse sharepoint its just one piece of the entire ecosystem of microsoft. but even in combination with powerapps, there are goals are not achivavble or easy to achieve. for instance, if we want to have a common sharepoint with internal and external people, or suppliers that is very hard to be done. that is also in our company I guess, but I the end, there was no way I could deal with that in my own with sharepoint. that is the biggest limitation my company and my team found with it. > > the experience is good, but my company gm. is actively getting away from this product, at least partially, of couse we still use it, but there are some real plans to reduce its usage. ----- ### "SharePoint Has Become Our Go-To Platform for Collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Akshay** | *18 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Microsoft SharePoint is how it centralizes document management and team collaboration in one place. It makes it easy to organize project-related files, share information across teams, and maintain version control without worrying about duplicate documents. The integration with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive makes day-to-day work much more efficient. We've also found it useful for project tracking and maintaining team documentation, as everyone can access the latest information from a single source. The user interface is clean and familiar for organizations already using Microsoft products, which helps with adoption. Overall, it provides good value for money by improving collaboration, reducing manual effort, and making information easier to manage and share across the organization. > > **Cons**: What I like least about Microsoft SharePoint is that some advanced features can take time to learn, especially when it comes to managing permissions, site structures, and document libraries. Finding specific files can occasionally be difficult if folders and metadata are not organized consistently. In larger document repositories, navigation and search performance can sometimes feel slower than expected. While the platform is very powerful, certain administrative tasks and configurations could be more intuitive for new users. > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft SharePoint has been very positive. It has helped our team centralize document management, improve collaboration, and maintain project-related information in a structured and accessible way. The integration with Microsoft 365 makes it easy to share files, collaborate in real time, and keep everyone aligned on the latest updates. While there is a learning curve for some advanced features and administrative tasks, the platform has proven to be reliable, scalable, and valuable for managing documents, projects, and team communication. It has become an important tool for improving productivity and information sharing across the organization. ----- ### "Share and store important information" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 January 2026* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to access and have all the information readily available for all who have access. It is also good for storing the information for use at a later date. > > **Cons**: still cannot be used offline so if you do not have stable internet or are working in a remote part of the world then it makes it difficult to connect. ----- ### "Microsoft SharePoint – The Backbone of Our Company’s File Management and Collaboration" — 4.0/5 > **Joe** | *4 June 2026* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an IT Professional managing infrastructure and productivity tools for a mid-sized company, SharePoint (as part of Microsoft 365) has become our central hub for document storage, team collaboration, intranets, and business processes. > > **Cons**: Sync issues occur frequently on macOS products, excel or word. Also the app will close out and items will go weeks without syncing. ----- ### "Powerful Document Management and Collaboration Platform That Can Be Complex to Manage" — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *1 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: SharePoint is good value if you’re already on Microsoft 365, gives you a central place to store, organise and share files without needing another system. It handles document management well with version control, permissions, structured libraries so everything stays in one place and easier to find once it’s set up right. It works well with Teams and OneDrive too, makes collaboration and sharing simple across users. Security is solid and having everything in one platform helps keep things controlled. It’s also flexible enough to build basic intranet pages or internal sites for communication. > > **Cons**: Value drops a bit if you need extra support or time spent managing it. Support can be slow unless you’ve got the right plan. Employee access and permissions are powerful but easy to overcomplicate, can end up confusing who has access to what. The interface isn’t the most intuitive, takes time to get used to and can feel cluttered, especially for new users. > > Overall it’s a solid platform once it’s set up properly, works best if you’re already using Microsoft 365. Great for keeping documents organised and improving collaboration, but if it’s not managed well it can get messy and frustrating fairly quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 220\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/397825/microsoft-sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/397825/microsoft-sharepoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
