The integration with Microsoft 365 is seamless, Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive all work together smoothly, which reduces duplication and improves workflow efficiency. Its permission controls are robust, allowing administrators to manage access at a granular level. > > **Cons**: The initial setup can feel complex, especially for organisations without dedicated IT support. Customising sites, libraries, and permissions requires time and familiarity with the platform. Some users may find the interface less intuitive compared to modern collaboration tools, and occasional sync issues with OneDrive can disrupt workflows. > > Microsoft SharePoint has been a reliable platform for organising documents, managing permissions, and keeping team information in one place. Once everything is set up, it streamlines collaboration and reduces duplication, though the initial learning curve can be steep. ----- ### "Sharepoint - service with endless way of use" — 5.0/5 > **Yurii** | *28 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Sharepoint is one of the most powerful apps in the whole MS Office suite. First of all - it allows collaboration between teams of any size. You can have 1 site member that just wants to keep their documents there, or you can have a site for thousands of people to upload any files or documents - Sharepoint allows you this. - Sharepoint is easy to start, hard to master kind of service. While creating a Teams Group or a small Sharepoint site could be pretty easy, building a whole intranet will require your organization a dedicated Sharepoint Administrator. -Sharepoint isn't cheap on the first glance. But if your organization uses other Microsoft services such as Business or Enterprise user licenses - you will save on storage prices. So I would prefer Sharepoint to any other similar service. - There are endless ways to use Sharepoint - team collaboration, project management and tracking. Easiness of use and administration (for simple tasks) can help you to manage tasks and files of your employees. -Not totally a pro or con - but PowerShell knowledge is a must for admins > > **Cons**: - Customer support from Microsoft is always hit or miss. Usually if you stuck with something looking elsewhere is easier than escalating to MS Support. - Interface could be tricky and non-intuitive. Sometimes even simple tasks can take a lot of time because of interface. - This is one of the most powerful Microsoft services available on a market so bugs are pretty inevitable. And given MS support sometimes doing some tasks is hard - If you have an on-prem environment - SharePoint is a cloud based service. You will have to migrate your files to a cloud first. > > Overall, even with all the cons, Sharepoint is one of a kind apps that allows your organization (small or enterprise) to collaborate and manage files/tasks/projects together. With almost endless ways to customize your sites you can do so many cool things with Sharepoint - from creating a Teams group where you keep your files and chat with colleagues to creating a whole Intranet web for your 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. ----- ### "The best product to pair with Microsoft Teams" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *20 March 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: SharePoint is the best collaboration tool that Microsoft makes. It is designed to integrate well with Azure networks. Though not easy to set up for layman, once it is set up everything is very easy to use. Managing employee controls is a breeze. Organizing and distributing documents to individualized team based on permissions is great with SharePoint. The best part by far though is the integration in the other Microsoft products like Teams and Outlook for scheduling meetings and collaboration. > > **Cons**: Like most Microsoft products, there will be bugs that have to worked out after every update. Microsoft's customer support is notoriously lackluster in this regard. The open community is where you'll find better support. > > SharePoint has been an invaluable tool for my team at more than 3 different companies, all for a price that doesn't break the bank. It is essential for any company using Teams for communication. ----- ### "A good product but buggy at times." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 April 2026* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great for document management and relatively easy to use. A necessity if you are a Microsoft shop or use Outlook > > **Cons**: Can be a bit buggy at times when collaborating, has syncing issues, and challenges with uploading files with similar names. > > Overall i would say its positive, but not amazing. The bugs do make it annoying at times and makes you wonder why something so simply can be buggy. ----- Page: 1 / 219\ 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
