We performed a comparison between Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and SharePoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Content Collaboration Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The level of stability is good."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."
"It's a very robust product."
"The collaboration, the ability for multiple users to work on a single document."
"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."
"Ability to collaborate with others in one location."
"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."
"The implementation and configuring of the resolution are very easy in the online version."
"Ability to store files of any type."
"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."
"The security feature is valuable."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"It has an easy to distribute administration capability, and can also scale to meet a large number of future needs."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"The online editing capabilities, file sharing, auditing, information security, ease of solution management, and the easy user adaptation to the platform are the most valuable features."
"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
"The permission management features need improvement."
"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 product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
"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 product is behind in development and lacks some features."
"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."
"The areas around security, such as protection, need to be included."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"Make it more intuitive."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."
