SharePoint Designer Scalability

Vivek Vaibhav - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at Bain & Company

Scalability would be an issue. There were the minimum number of folks that we were working with, however, if you want to deploy a SharePoint site, for example, to millions of people, the servers have to be accordingly configured. It completely depends on the servers. That's the major thing when you're deploying a SharePoint site. That's why scalability might be an issue, however, I'm not sure about that as we haven't tested a fully scalable website on SharePoint.

There's a dedicated team, on the product who know the SharePoint site in and out, however, they are not all developing the websites. They're there to enhance the backend systems and understand our queries and resolve them. The SharePoint developers are within my team itself.

In my team, probably five to six people know how to develop a SharePoint site, and in my company, there's a dedicated team who do SharePoint and that's a 15-member strong team.

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

Everybody in my company uses it. There are around 6,000 end users in my company.

My initial site wasn't designed for high scalability, but I fixed it, and it can be adapted for larger workloads if needed.

Our company has around 300 end users using it. However, we don't have plans to increase the further usage.

The solution's scalability is fine. I don't have much confidence in SharePoint. It's easy for me to use.

There are 360 users of the solution in my organization.

It is extensively used, but we have no plans to increase its usage.

While I find it scalable, my use case is not something where I really use it on a large scale and enterprise level. I wouldn't be able to give a definite answer to scalability for large-scale operations.

I just use the product on a personal level. I don't have any large projects that are ongoing.

SharePoint is scalable, albeit complex.

We have approximately 10 customers that we have deployed SharePoint for. They have multidisciplinary teams, and people in many different roles use the software.

RK
Chief Information Technology Officer at BMC Solutions

In our organization, we have around eight to ten people who are developing on SharePoint Designer. We don't currently have plans to increase usage, but it depends. We are a project delivering company, and I am a project manager, so our SharePoint usage is on a project-based development. If we have a client we need to use SharePoint for, we may increase the usage, but otherwise we won't.

The scalability is a little bit complex. We do have a lot of issues with scalability. It's not everything we hoped for.

The scalability is not a problem because this is a desktop application and it works just fine. As long as your SharePoint site is scalable, the application will work just fine.

SharePoint Designer is a very small tool, and very clever. You install it on your computer to access SharePoint's entire platform. In that sense, it's not a technology that's scalable or that needs to be scalable.

Owner at Alopex ONE UG

This is a problem that does not occur at all. SharePoint Designer puts its configuration data into a firm structure, which is parallelized by default and thread protected. It does not matter which means you use in to access the data, whether it is through direct API calls or in SharePoint Designer. It is protected against all structures within the form. You cannot override data. It is inherently parallelized by SharePoint, itself.

There are approximately ten users working within our support company, but the company using this solution has about five hundred end-users.
