Staff had there own individual folders that tutor could access to find lesson plans > > **Cons**: Nothing to be honest, a minute things that I wasn’t able to set it up as my home page but that was most likely due to my computer. > > Really positive experience using SharePoint ----- ### "A Must for Every Small Business or Busy Family\!" — 5.0/5 > **Julieann** | *20 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I just love this idea of a central place for my employees to go to for information and training. Sharepoint is pretty easy to use, but there is a learning curve. The templates are super-useful too. I use it also to keep information for certain projects as well as our sub-entities. Much nicer than a folder on the computer or in OneNote or other similar. Organizing with web pages is so easy and actually fun to create. > > **Cons**: I have found that, once I create/upload a document into the document library, I cannot drag and drop it into a folder. > > Love it\! It is a great way to share information, organize multiple file types into a single place. The ability to create pages to help with organizing and the templates and design ideas are great. ----- ### "SharePoint in the Workplace" — 5.0/5 > **Samm** | *23 March 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having all shared documents in one location on cloud-based software has been instrumental in effective team work. Having the ability to create multiple folders and also manage them based on security and permissions has significantly decreased the number of emails with potentially confidential attachments. All users who understand and are comfortable with SharePoint love the ability to search for specific documents rather. Furthermore, having the ability to use it on a web based platform as well as having "folders" within Windows allows users to use the software in an individualized way. We have folders that are accessible to only 4 employees and some that are accessible to 20 employees and they both function well. > > **Cons**: The largest issue with SharePoint is the learning curve. It can be quite difficult for new users to navigate, specifically those who are less tech savvy. The inability to customize the software based on user can at times be difficult to manage. While SharePoint is a Microsoft product, it can be confusing to employees that they potentially have two places to save documents (OneDrive and SharePoint). Unfortunately, larger libraries can be slower when searching and/or syncing. > > Overall SharePoint is a beneficial program within the workplace for group file management. This program works for small groups as well as larger groups and can be controlled based on user permissions which allows the ability to set up multiple libraries. Unfortunately there can be a rather steep learning curve for new users and larger libraries do not perform to the same level as smaller ones. ----- ### "Functional, but not a major differentiator" — 3.0/5 > **Antoine** | *26 April 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft SharePoint covers the expected basics for managing shared document libraries, team sites, version control and internal knowledge bases. The feature set is coherent, especially around permissions, and it can be useful when the organization mainly needs a practical operational solution. > > **Cons**: My main reservation is that requires clear folder/site structure. For standard needs it is acceptable, but for a more advanced finance, audit, reporting or governance-oriented use case, complementary controls may still be needed. > > Standard usage around managing shared document libraries, team sites, version control and internal knowledge bases, without highly complex reporting, customization or governance needs. ----- ### "SharePoint review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 March 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integrates with Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel) and has good version control and collaboration once it’s working. It provides a centralized document storage instead of multiple shared drives that is accessible remotely without our VPN. > > **Cons**: Not easy to set up or maintain — permissions, structure, and governance get complicated quickly. Does not behave like a normal network drive, which causes issues with systems that expect file‑server access. Our ERP software cannot see SharePoint files, which forces workarounds or duplicate storage Syncing via OneDrive is unreliable with large or complex folder structures and requires ongoing IT involvement to keep things running smoothly > > SharePoint can work well if your organization is fully cloud‑based and has IT resources to manage it properly. If you rely on ERP systems or applications that expect a traditional file server, SharePoint is not a great fit without significant workarounds. ----- Page: 1 / 219\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1167/sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1167/sharepoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
