We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The implementation and configuring of the resolution are very easy in the online version.""The most valuable feature is that it is very usable. I can navigate it, I can have a media call, I can have a call with my project team, so we can chat with every team kind of like WhatsApp. Any time there are projects or other things, we can chat in a secure way. It's automation-specific secure.""The support from Microsoft is very quick and they are very proactive.""The forms aspect of the solution, for example, the creation of surveys, is its most valuable aspect.""The solution is pretty easy to use for the most part.""The most valuable features for us are their document management list and hybrid forms. and We also use third party ad-dons to achieve workflows and other recent apps.""Document management and records management features are the most valuable.""Ability to collaborate with others in one location."

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""Integration within the solution is very good.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

Cons
"The user interface needs improvement because there is a lot of stuff in there. I use five to eight navigation buttons. It should be more user-friendly. Frequently used menu items should be arranged in a proper way. That would be helpful.""It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture.""Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint.""The solution is like a CRM, so the initial setup is complex. It takes a few days to deploy the solution and the length of time depends on how large the company's topology is and what the client's demands are.""This solution is not very stable. It is useful to arrange data but it's not the best for big data. Sometimes we have issues with our reports as a result.""The solution needs to have more flexibility. The classic version had more flexibility, however, the modern version has many more limitations.""Many of our customers would like to see an OCR feature, so it would be very good to have this in a future release.""I think these tools do a pretty good job. There is only one area of improvement. Maybe Microsoft can invest a little bit more into the ease at which integration can be done with other third party applications."

"Its functions need more stability.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost. With the on premise version, you pay for the license once. For the cloud version, there is a recurring fee. It is very expensive. They expect everyone to pay $20 or $30 per user per month."
  • "There are some aggressive discounts offered by Microsoft for organizations that are not for profit, which we are, and it makes it quite attractive to consider."
  • "Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."
  • "It can be expensive for on-premises deployments, especially when you have to support SQL Server as your backend database. That's where the cost comes into play. SQL Server has its own licensing, which Microsoft keeps on changing. Therefore, it can become costly. In the earlier versions of SharePoint, version 2007 or 2010, they had an express version where the SQL Server licensing was free. It wasn't like a full-blown SharePoint. It was only a slimmed-down version. It used to be whatever your hardware costs. You would install the free software and work with it, but you were very limited in what you could do in SharePoint. If you wanted the SharePoint Enterprise Server with all the bells and whistles, then you had to pay more to get the SQL Server license based on the number of users or servers. The subscription model is different for cloud deployments. Licensing is per user and per month. The cost also depends on the storage required. If you have a lot of sites or documents, then you need to expand it based on your needs."

  • "The price needs to be lowered."

  • "WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."
