Working in marketing we often deal with files that are quite large in size and need to be accessible by a large group of people. Sharepoint has solved this challenge for us and made file sharing very simple. Since we already work in a Microsoft ecosystem it was a natural extension to start using Sharepoint instead of other file management solutions. If you're already familiar with other MS software like Excel, Word, Outlook, etc. learning how to use Sharepoint will be very easy as the interface looks similar. > > **Cons**: In some instances due to the way our security is set up through Sharepoint it can be difficult to share files/documents with individuals external to our organization. The permissions won't always allow for us to share externally, or outside users report difficulty in figuring out how to access the files we are sharing with them. I find that it is great for internal-access, but we do periodically run into issues when trying to get external users to use Sharepoint. > > Overall Sharepoint has proved as a useful solution to our challenge of managing such a high quantity and size of documents, photos and videos. Being already familiar with other Microsoft software it was easy to adopt Sharepoint and there has been high uptake across our organization. Previously across our organization individuals used several different types of file sharing and storage tools so it has been great to consolidate them into a singular solution. ----- ### "SharePoint Documentation" — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *22 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It allowed our company to work more remotely and share files a documents. It has stream lined our document libraries and made sure versions are updated. > > **Cons**: Needed some help to set up to e syre administration was set and licenses controlled. Giving everyone access would have caused for choas with sites being created. > > I was a main fa tor to setting up and roll out with our IT team. To date it has saved us time by providing remote access. ----- ### "SharePoint: Great for Business Collaboration\!" — 5.0/5 > **Alyssa** | *30 April 2026* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that SharePoint has allowed us to effectively collaborate as a team across the organization by keeping documents organized and easy accessible. > > **Cons**: It was a struggle at first to learn how the application works because I felt like I was going in circles trying to find certain documents. ----- ### "Legacy and lousy" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 January 2026* | International Affairs | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are endemic version control issues depending on what version of SharePoint your admin is running. This can create a numerable headaches for teams trying to work under quick deadlines version control tries to address this but doesn’t. > > **Cons**: The version control issue with multiple authors of one document can be completely debilitating. There are also issues if you have users working across Macs and Pcs. > > We have to use the software because it’s so embedded in our architecture, but I would strongly recommend looking at Google Drive and alternatives before you use this legacy beast ----- ### "Sharing my POV" — 5.0/5 > **Christie** | *6 August 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sharepoint is a great software tool for organizations because you can make accessible files to everyone without compromising integrity and privacy and continuous sharing of attachments > > **Cons**: The correct Drive is not always opened when saving. This gets frustrating when you believ you have shared something to the sharepoint, are away from your computer and have to try to give the team acceess to a file while away. > > Overall the experience is not negative. It’s a great tool for our company. It’s always great to make things easier for a team and it saves so much timw ----- Page: 1 / 219\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90850/sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90850/sharepoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
