Considered Both Products	Microsoft Kayla Jane McLaughlin DIRECTOR at ANCHORA GROUP LLC (Wholesale, 11-50 employees) Chose SharePoint We don't have to pay for SharePoint, unlike Dropbox, and SharePoint integrates our existing email addresses, which is convenient for sharing. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint We already had a license to Microsoft so it made sense to use SharePoint Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint None - have always used SharePoint Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint Microsoft SharePoint is more feature rich but that also comes with the cost of complexity. Needing to learn how to set up folders, documents, etc, with the right permissions isn't difficult, but to make sure it is done correctly does take some time to understand where to do … Incentivized Helpful? Clarence White Chief Information Officer in Information Technology at The Salvation Army, USA (Non-profit Organization Management, 10,001+ employees) Chose SharePoint Microsoft SharePoint shares many of the same pros and cons as HCL Notes. It does a lot. Maybe too much to understand. Incentivized Helpful? Erin Gracyalny Customer Success Manager in Customer Service at Propel Software Solutions (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose SharePoint Egnyte is the superior solution due to the way it segments data and provides a holistic approach to sharing and access. Microsoft SharePoint provides this a bit but could improve but the value of Microsoft SharePoint is greater given it is included in our subscription. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint I like Microsoft SharePoint over Google Drive for its organization. I believe that Microsoft SharePoint keeps things much more organized than Google Drive. Also, typically when you purchase Microsoft SharePoint, you get the rest of the Microsoft Suite. However, Google Drive has … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint One drive I think is more for personal use as a cloud storage. SharePoint can be more of use in businesses where teams can easily collaborate in various documents and files. This can also automate other processes to make it easier for the business in their day to day work tasks. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint From what I have seen, Google Workspace seems to get the balance better. I think both tech giants are in a position to be indifferent to end user experience.

Chandrasiri ERP Consultant in Professional Services at Platned Syngco (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose SharePoint Since Microsoft SharePoint comes with the MS business office package, it is fully integrated with other office products and really works together with other MS Office products like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, Publisher, etc.. in real-time, so it's really easy to maintain … Incentivized Helpful? Eddie Hicks Enrollment Specialist in Customer Service at Academic Partnerships (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose SharePoint Microsoft SharePoint and Glasscubes are very similar products. I selected Microsoft SharePoint simply because I am more familiar with the product. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint Microsoft SharePoint definitely has the highest ranking for use with MS Office packages and integration into Windows devices--mobile or normal desktop devices. The cost for Microsoft SharePoint is also competitive in comparison and with local hosting options within APAC regions. Incentivized Helpful? Damon Darling Engineering Manager in Engineering at Sigma Connectivity (Consumer Electronics, 501-1000 employees) Chose SharePoint I prefer Atlassian Confluence for file sharing, wiki markups, and as a better tool for engineering documentation.

Puneet Pandey Procurement Specialist in Product Management at SoftwareONE (Information Technology & Services, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose SharePoint MS Sharepoint is much more simpler way to use if we compare it with BOX, Box is very slow loading app not that user friendly.

Mst Rahima Khatun Marketing Product Management in Information Technology at Clopsmith (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose SharePoint Both Confluence and Sharepoint have similarities, but they also have significant differences. In both cases, people can use the wiki to exchange information with each other. Many platforms, including Mac, are easier to use with Confluence's better user interface. Compared to Con… Incentivized Helpful? Shanaya Desai Process Executive in Information Technology at Patra Corporation (Information Technology & Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose SharePoint Dropbox UI is very cluttered and not well organized. It doesn't come with an office suite, unlike SharePoint. Inbuilt video player on SharePoint is great and has better playback controls than Dropbox video player. Sharepoint is integrated well with other offices 365 apps. Dropbo… Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint MS SharePoint lags behind its competitors in most areas. While it does offer more functionality, such as custom sites, MS SharePoint's bogged-down sharing system really hurts it. While sharing documents with coworkers, outside contractors, and guests is hassle-free with Google … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint I think that MS SharePoint is a more robust and well integrated tool than other products. Because it lives in the Microsoft universe it likely integrates to the other software products you already have very easily. Most users will not have trouble adopting it as the UI is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint We still have Confluence and Google Drive, but we wanted a product that could provide document security and a single point of access that easily integrated into our active directory. Since we use this for our intranet site, we found the features easier to stand up and the UI … Incentivized Helpful? Adam Friedli System Administrator in Information Technology at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital (Information Technology & Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose SharePoint I have not personally used any direct competitors to SharePoint as a whole. However, I have used Dropbox Business and Google Drive. While these do work well for file collaboration, they do not offer the website structure that SharePoint does. SharePoint also integrates … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint The above mentioned tools can be used as an alternative for SharePoint based on the business cases. However, the features provided by all these products are very limited [when] we compare the product SharePoint. These alternatives have space in their own area or market. … Incentivized Helpful? Stephanie W Director, Digital Strategy & Engagement in Social Media at Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) (Non-Profit Organization Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose SharePoint Slack is not great for document sharing, but it does integrate with SharePoint and One Drive when we need to post links. Slack is better at the chat function though, which is definitely missed from SharePoint. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose SharePoint Given the Brand name "Microsoft", tool has lot of expectation and it lives up to the name.

Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft SharePoint Document Management excels as a central repository for storing, organising, and retrieving documents. It supports version control, metadata tagging, secure access, and integration with tools like Power Automate. At our organisation, it's used for managing contracts, policies, and supplier documents. SharePoint Workflow Automation integrates with Power Automate to streamline approvals, gather feedback, and automate recurring tasks. This reduces reliance on email chains and manual trackers.

Pros	Microsoft Making collaboration easier via a better connection between accounts. You can share anything from a file to events with just a couple of clicks. All services are connected and switching between services is a breeze[.] Solutions to the majority of everyday business problems. Incentivized RIDWAN AHAMMAD Training Manager Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Windows Explorer users have some difficulty having to constantly UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD files. Specifically on the DOWNLOAD when they are used to Drag & Drop in & out of LOCAL folders via Window's explorer. Microsoft SharePoint supports multiple "library" types. When implementing our "image" library the search function is done via "tags" and boolean logic. This is challenging to most end users. I'd like our users to be able to search our Microsoft SharePoint image library without having to enter KEYWORD or other BOOLEAN logic. Microsoft SharePoint can also be an internal website for each department or company wide communication tool but I believe these features are geared for much larger organizations. Since we are a SMB we really aren't using these features. So maybe something more useful to SMBs would be nice. Incentivized Jimmy Harrell IT Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Microsoft It's integral to our business. It's already included with most of the Office 365 licensing we buy, so the cost is effectively zero. It stores our files, it is the foundation for custom applications, and Microsoft only continues to enhance its functionality and its connections to other Microsoft tools. SharePoint just keeps getting better and better. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Usability	Microsoft No usability issues reported. Individual teams also have allocated areas which replace legacy shared drives on local LANs. Access to Sharepoint resources is fully integrated with corporate Active Directory with additional two-factor authentication required for administrative users. Users have access to Microsoft Services Hub which allows you to create, manage, and track support requests while staying current on Microsoft technologies with access to select self-paced learning paths Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Support Rating	Microsoft Support for SharePoint is quite good. Microsoft provides good support. Microsoft offers Quick turnaround time for issues A range of support services Access to a network of resources Escalation of issues Ongoing development and commitment to produce enhancement The majority of support is required for initial installation. Once complete and the system is operating we have had very few support issues. Incentivized Tim Daciuk Director Advanced Analytics Read full review
In-Person Training	Microsoft The face to face training I received was on SharePoint Administration. It was rushed as there was a lot of information to cover and the application of the labs weren't that great either. I like to be able to relate what I am learning to what I am currently doing. Verified User Read full review
Online Training	Microsoft I like to learn at my own pace and online training allows for that. Additionally, you can skip through pieces of content that you already know or are already comfortable with. Microsoft actually offers great videos on their website for basic fundamental SharePoint Training. I have used these training videos in some of my own training sessions with end users.

Implementation Rating	Microsoft Planning to the last detail would be advised. SharePoint is a very large application that takes a lot of finesse to get operational Christopher Corbett Database Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft The reasons for selecting MS SharePoint are: SharePoint provides ease of use and web design assistance and support SharePoint helps you schedule your content for publishing. enables users to share documents with external parties and offers a better internal structure of the content and better indexing and searching capabilities.

Return on Investment	Microsoft A timesheet application isn't necessary, and the company saves money on internal Web development because it doesn't need to purchase one. As part of a larger Microsoft bundle, the company saves money by reducing document and storage costs and increasing productivity. The company saves money by eliminating the need for face-to-face meetings and increasing project productivity and maintainability. The practical application and integration and a safe and convenient way to store files contribute to a high return on investment. Mst Rahima Khatun Marketing Product Management Read full review
