Working in marketing we often deal with files that are quite large in size and need to be accessible by a large group of people. Sharepoint has solved this challenge for us and made file sharing very simple. Since we already work in a Microsoft ecosystem it was a natural extension to start using Sharepoint instead of other file management solutions. If you're already familiar with other MS software like Excel, Word, Outlook, etc. learning how to use Sharepoint will be very easy as the interface looks similar. > > **Cons**: In some instances due to the way our security is set up through Sharepoint it can be difficult to share files/documents with individuals external to our organization. The permissions won't always allow for us to share externally, or outside users report difficulty in figuring out how to access the files we are sharing with them. I find that it is great for internal-access, but we do periodically run into issues when trying to get external users to use Sharepoint. > > Overall Sharepoint has proved as a useful solution to our challenge of managing such a high quantity and size of documents, photos and videos. Being already familiar with other Microsoft software it was easy to adopt Sharepoint and there has been high uptake across our organization. Previously across our organization individuals used several different types of file sharing and storage tools so it has been great to consolidate them into a singular solution. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Powerful Document Management Platform in Microsoft 365" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *31 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like SharePoint for its ability to centralize document storage, file sharing, and team collaboration in a secure location. It makes it easy to organize company resources and ensure other employees have access to the information they need. SharePoint integrates well with other applications in Microsoft 365, I am able to share any PowerPoint, Excel, and Word documents to SharePoint for my team to have easy access to. > > **Cons**: If you haven't used SharePoint before it does take some time to learn and figure it out. Every company has their way of customizing its UI. > > I’ve been primarily using SharePoint for accessing company documents, sales resources, and marketing materials. It has helped improve collaboration across teams and departments by ensuring information is stored in a single location and is easily accessible when needed. While there can be a learning curve when first using the platform and SharePoint becomes a very useful resource once you get used to using it more. ----- ### "Powerful Collaboration with a Steep Learning Curve" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *08 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Centralized collaboration, robust document management, tight Microsoft 365 integration, customizable workflows, strong permissions. > > **Cons**: The interface often feels cluttered and unintuitive, setup and customization can be complex, performance can be slow at times, and end-user adoption usually requires significant training. > > My overall experience with Microsoft SharePoint has been productive but challenging, offering strong collaboration and document management features while requiring time to learn and manage effectively. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 219\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/90850/sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/90850/sharepoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
