Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Content Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"It offers ease of use, which is crucial."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"The most valuable features are video conferencing and sharing content during meetings."
"I like Slack's notifications. It is more user-friendly and pleasing than Teams."
"The product makes communication seamless."
"I use Slack for communication with my colleagues."
"It allows to facilitate communication, allowing us to create channels for updates, file sharing, and photo sharing within our team profiles."
"With respect to being a clean and efficient communications platform, I think that it does the job quite well."
"The solution is scalable."
"Slack helps me to read bulk messages."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"The solution should have less frequent updates."
"Customization is something that Slack is lacking."
"The way groups are created on slack could be improved. Once you create a group of people, you can't add additional people unless you convert it to a channel."
"The tool is a bit slow."
"Slack is not as strong as competitors like Teams when it comes to things like video meetings and audio meetings."
"Slack could add additional and better integrations."
"There could be a read function so that when you send a message, instead of the other person having to add a reaction, you know that the message went through."
"I would like the in-meeting content sharing facility to be improved."
