Sharepoint for Multiple Client Data

5.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: My overall experience with Sharepoint is positive. We use it to update APD client information for AL. It helps track behaviors, meds, and medical appointment data.

Pros:

I liked being able to update each clients information for quick access to it. I also like that a team can sign in and update accordingly. Being able to transfer data from Sharepoint to Excel for behavior graphing is great

Cons:

Sometimes I had to reload the landing page to acess sub menus.

Robust foundations

4.0 last month New

Comments: Very good and easy to use platform to develop many workflows, co-working spaces and to store documents

Pros:

A great platform for collaboration, presentation, intranet, automation / digitalization of business processes, which is basically "free" as part of the preset of the vast majority of companies using MS 365

Cons:

The simplicity of use and deployment has its price in not too much flexibility to customize the final look, which is simply ... standard

SharePoint can be a great tool for basic needs.

3.0 last month New

Pros:

I like the "search" feature and how I'm able to quickly find something I am looking for as long as I search the correct term.

Cons:

The user-face seems a bit clunky at times and hard to navigate. I often times feel lost trying to remember pathways to specific items I am looking for.

MS SharePoint Often Gets a Bad Rap

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall, I have solved more common business problems with SharePoint than with any other tool.

Pros:

I hear lots of people groan about SharePoint, yet I find over and over that it makes it incredibly easy to put together useful tools, collaborate, integrate, automate, and all at a very reasonable cost. Being tightly integrated with M365, it just makes sense to take advantage of all it has to offer.

Cons:

I will admit, sometimes the customization limits can be annoying, but this is far outweighed by the usefulness of the platform. It also ensures fewer things break as new updates are pushed.

SharePoint - the Best Document Management Program

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: I've used it all day every day for the past 15 years.

Pros:

SharePoint does everything I need to maintain and securely store my documents: backups, version control, search and retrieval.

Cons:

I don't like that I have to page through my document libraries instead of being able to jump forward or backwards. For example, it would be good to jump to the documents by the first letter of the document's name.
