Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, OpenText, Box and others in Enterprise Content Management."It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"It has good integration with other MS products."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"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."
"The security feature is valuable."
"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"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."
"The product must provide more automation."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"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 initial setup was very complex."
