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 in the Workplace" — 5.0/5 > **Samm** | *March 23, 2026* | Insurance Software | 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. ----- ### "SharePoint review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 13, 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. ----- ### "MS SharePoint for document organization" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *August 18, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great organizational tool to store all our working documents and share it across teams. Quick file synchronization on web and laptop. Integration into laptop folder system and being able to attach directly instead of downloading from the web. > > **Cons**: Inability to automate certain files (outputs from MS forms) into pre-allocated folders. They get saved randomly and then need to be sorted out. ----- ### "Sharepoint - service with endless way of use" — 5.0/5 > **Yurii** | *March 28, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft Sharepoint is one of the most powerful apps in the whole MS Office suite. First of all - it allows collaboration between teams of any size. You can have 1 site member that just wants to keep their documents there, or you can have a site for thousands of people to upload any files or documents - Sharepoint allows you this. - Sharepoint is easy to start, hard to master kind of service. While creating a Teams Group or a small Sharepoint site could be pretty easy, building a whole intranet will require your organization a dedicated Sharepoint Administrator. -Sharepoint isn't cheap on the first glance. But if your organization uses other Microsoft services such as Business or Enterprise user licenses - you will save on storage prices. So I would prefer Sharepoint to any other similar service. - There are endless ways to use Sharepoint - team collaboration, project management and tracking. Easiness of use and administration (for simple tasks) can help you to manage tasks and files of your employees. -Not totally a pro or con - but PowerShell knowledge is a must for admins > > **Cons**: - Customer support from Microsoft is always hit or miss. Usually if you stuck with something looking elsewhere is easier than escalating to MS Support. - Interface could be tricky and non-intuitive. Sometimes even simple tasks can take a lot of time because of interface. - This is one of the most powerful Microsoft services available on a market so bugs are pretty inevitable. And given MS support sometimes doing some tasks is hard - If you have an on-prem environment - SharePoint is a cloud based service. You will have to migrate your files to a cloud first. > > Overall, even with all the cons, Sharepoint is one of a kind apps that allows your organization (small or enterprise) to collaborate and manage files/tasks/projects together. With almost endless ways to customize your sites you can do so many cool things with Sharepoint - from creating a Teams group where you keep your files and chat with colleagues to creating a whole Intranet web for your organization. ----- Page: 1 / 218\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1167/sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
