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: Organized Chaos with a Side of Clicks”" — 5.0/5 > **Leo** | *31 March 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: SharePoint: the ultimate game of “Where Did I Save That?” Great for document hide-and-seek, turning clicks into cardio, and giving meetings an existential purpose. Bonus points for making you feel like a detective every time you try to find a version of a file that actually exists. > > **Cons**: SharePoint: because who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt just to open a document? Menus everywhere, clicks galore, and don’t even get me started on the “modern” interface that somehow makes everything more confusing. Also doubles as a test of patience and willpower—Excel files, beware. > > Using SharePoint is like being on a rollercoaster designed by a committee—sometimes thrilling, sometimes terrifying, and occasionally you’re just hanging there wondering why you ever got on. It’s powerful, confusing, occasionally frustrating, but somehow you can’t live without it… mostly because your files are trapped inside. ----- ### "Great Product, Difficult Pricing." — 3.0/5 > **Benjamin** | *23 March 2026* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Integration into the OneDrive App aswell as the customization Options when creating Sites. The Amount of Linking, Settings and Guest Settings you can turn are amazing. I've never had a more easier tool to manage than sharepoint. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, the Pricing of Sharepoint is not ideal for everyone. Most of the Storage Options come with O365 Business Standard or above Licenses, which are taking costs at an exponentionally growing userbase unreal. Alot of Pricing Options are not transparent which is a bummer sometimes. ----- ### "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 / 218\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1167/sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/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
