It does exactly what it says on the tin\! Great software > > Great, really like, great to share, collaborate and particularly good if you want somewhere to store joint project details ----- ### "SharePoint review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 March 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integrates with Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel) and has good version control and collaboration once it’s working. It provides a centralized document storage instead of multiple shared drives that is accessible remotely without our VPN. > > **Cons**: Not easy to set up or maintain — permissions, structure, and governance get complicated quickly. Does not behave like a normal network drive, which causes issues with systems that expect file‑server access. Our ERP software cannot see SharePoint files, which forces workarounds or duplicate storage Syncing via OneDrive is unreliable with large or complex folder structures and requires ongoing IT involvement to keep things running smoothly > > SharePoint can work well if your organization is fully cloud‑based and has IT resources to manage it properly. If you rely on ERP systems or applications that expect a traditional file server, SharePoint is not a great fit without significant workarounds. ----- ### "sharepoint review" — 4.0/5 > **Aaron** | *29 July 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: for the pros of sharepoint, there are many of course. it actually started the first paths of digitalization inside the companies, and it worked for many years. but know, as the AI es being deployed or force to be used or applicated, sharepoint sites are not good to connect masive data and easily convertible into data silos, which we try to avoid. > > **Cons**: Sharepoint has been a clear anchor for the develpment of the processes, and sharing information for all companies I have worked for. 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. ----- ### "Good Features, but Not the Easiest to Use" — 3.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *10 July 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Microsoft SharePoint was how easy it made it to store, organize, and share documents across a team. Having everything in one place with version history and permission controls helped keep files organized and reduced confusion. It also integrates well with other Microsoft 365 apps, which made collaboration more convenient for our team. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Microsoft SharePoint was that it isn't very intuitive, especially for new users. Finding certain settings or managing permissions can be confusing, and customizing sites often requires more technical knowledge than expected. It also felt a little slow at times, especially when navigating larger document libraries. > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft SharePoint has been average. It does a good job of managing documents and supporting collaboration, especially if your organization already uses Microsoft 365. That said, the learning curve, occasional performance issues, and somewhat confusing interface kept it from being a tool I really enjoyed using. It's a solid platform with useful features, but I think there's room to make it more user-friendly. ----- ### "Great tool for office communication" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *29 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: SharePoint has been a great program for business allowing us to share large amounts of data to our teams out in the field and back at the office. It's fantastic for keeping all our heavy project files, blueprints, and everyday paperwork in one organized place. Everyone always knows where to find the latest versions of documents, which really helps our crews communicate and stay on the same page. > > **Cons**: It can feel a bit overwhelming when you first start using it, so it takes some time for new hires to get the hang of everything. Also, setting up who has access to which folders can be a bit of a headache to manage, and sometimes syncing really massive folders takes longer than you'd like. > > Overall, my experience has been really positive. It acts as our main hub for everything we do, keeping all our project information safe and easy to find. Even though it takes a little work to set up initially, it's honestly become an essential tool for keeping our day-to-day operations running smoothly and keeping everyone connected across different job sites. ----- Page: 1 / 220\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/397825/microsoft-sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/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
