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. ----- ### "Efficient and Reliable for Team Use" — 5.0/5 > **Aryan** | *10 May 2026* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It makes document sharing and team collaboration very convenient. Everything stays organized in one place, and integration with tools like Teams and Outlook makes daily work much smoother. The version history feature is also very useful. > > **Cons**: It tends to lag sometimes when handling large files or heavy data. Also the interface to confusing for new users. > > My overall experience with Microsoft SharePoint has been good. It’s a dependable platform for managing documents and collaborating with teams. After getting familiar with it, it really improves workflow and efficiency. ----- ### "Share and store important information" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 January 2026* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to access and have all the information readily available for all who have access. It is also good for storing the information for use at a later date. > > **Cons**: still cannot be used offline so if you do not have stable internet or are working in a remote part of the world then it makes it difficult to connect. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Powerful Document Management Platform in Microsoft 365" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *31 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like SharePoint for its ability to centralize document storage, file sharing, and team collaboration in a secure location. It makes it easy to organize company resources and ensure other employees have access to the information they need. SharePoint integrates well with other applications in Microsoft 365, I am able to share any PowerPoint, Excel, and Word documents to SharePoint for my team to have easy access to. > > **Cons**: If you haven't used SharePoint before it does take some time to learn and figure it out. Every company has their way of customizing its UI. > > I’ve been primarily using SharePoint for accessing company documents, sales resources, and marketing materials. It has helped improve collaboration across teams and departments by ensuring information is stored in a single location and is easily accessible when needed. While there can be a learning curve when first using the platform and SharePoint becomes a very useful resource once you get used to using it more. ----- Page: 1 / 219\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/397825/microsoft-sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/397825/microsoft-sharepoint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
