    Chose SharePoint
    Ease of use, ease of setup, ease of administration, ease of configuration, ease of customization... what's not to like? SharePoint's got exactly what you need. Just don't expect too many frills, bells, whistles in terms of UI, but even then, it gets the job done.

    Chose SharePoint
    Microsoft SharePoint is cheaper, more skills are available, and it's easier to implement than its direct competitors.

    Pros
    Microsoft

    • All services are connected and switching between services is a breeze[.]
    • Solutions to the majority of everyday business problems.

    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.

    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.

    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.
