Easy to integrate with other software." — 5.0/5 > **David** | *17 February 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think this is a good value for money. It gets the job done for basic file storage and sharing. It is easily integrated with other software, such as Monday.com > > **Cons**: I think the user interface could be improved to make it more aesthetic, and easier to navigate. Permissions setting could be easier to set, and it seems to run a little slowly at times. > > Overall, SharePoint gets the job done and fulfills my work needs. I haven't had and serious issues with it, such as data loss. ----- ### "Powerful tool for data and knowledge management for organisations using Microsoft apps" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 January 2026* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great backend tool for company's data and knowledge management. It serves us as an internal website (intranet) and a database where most of our files are saved. It's well connected within Microsoft's ecosystem, especially Teams, and allows everyone to collaborate and access company's data. Thanks to different settings, access rights are easy to enforce, and thus managing employees and their access rights is straight-forward. It's relatively easy to use, but setting the whole system the right way may take some time and effort, depending on organisation's needs. > > **Cons**: It can have occasional bugs, though Microsoft support is generally reactive. When Modern SharePoint was introduced, some legacy settings from classic SharePoint remained, which can cause inconsistencies. Also, certain advanced settings aren’t available in the UI and require PowerShell, meaning admin access and basic coding skills (though this can usually be overcome with Copilot). > > Powerful tool that has an enormous potential when working within Microsoft's ecosystem, but still has some issues that need to be resolved. It's still the best tool for data and knowledge management for companies that rely on Microsoft software ----- ### "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 Documentation" — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *22 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It allowed our company to work more remotely and share files a documents. It has stream lined our document libraries and made sure versions are updated. > > **Cons**: Needed some help to set up to e syre administration was set and licenses controlled. Giving everyone access would have caused for choas with sites being created. > > I was a main fa tor to setting up and roll out with our IT team. To date it has saved us time by providing remote access. ----- ### "A great file sharing and file storage solution" — 5.0/5 > **Emma** | *8 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft SharePoint offers a large cloud-based secured storage solution for all sized organisations. It is easy to use and set up, however I would recommend creating a file storage system which works for your organisation and can scope up with growth, otherwise you can get many files and SharePoint areas. You can limit who has access to which folders which a useful feature. > > **Cons**: If a good system is not set up from the beginning as the organisation grows SharePoint can become a little untidy but this is down to users. The search function can be a little tricky to navigate so it is important to name files in a systematic and orderly way. > > Microsoft SharePoint is a widely used storage and file sharing product and offers good value for money and customer support. It is easy to add on additional features when required and Microsoft keep up to date with AI features. The only bugs and issues we have is when the connection has been lost but this is easily fixed and more a connection rather than Microsoft issue. ----- Page: 1 / 218\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/397825/microsoft-sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
