Microsoft SharePoint

Can be easily shared among a community of people and made very accessible to the organisation with the required information, details ,data and important documents on cloud

Probably there’s nothing that is missed or unliked about this application .

Permission management: This is super relevant and wonderful for controlling what your audience can see and do, for example, when you need someone to constantly see changes to a "living document" but not have the ability to intervene in the process.

Contact groups: I find it super good since not necessarily the site administrators are the only ones who can manage the group, you can make any member of the group can manage the rest of the members without this being involved in other site settings . Also when granting permissions, distributing documents, announcements, tasks, it is very easy to do it by group of contacts than one by one.

Version history: We know that we are exposed to errors and accidents, so having the previous versions of a document, being able to see who has modified and having the possibility of restoring any of those versions can save the day. I always feel that I am protected and that is why I always promote working in the cloud.

Please provide some detailed examples of areas where MS SharePoint has room for improvement. These could be features that are hard to use, missing functionality, or just things that you'd like to see done differently.

Modern view / classic view: I really appreciate the minimalist change that has been made with many of the menus in the latest versions of sharepoint, but most of the time it complicates me and generates many more clicks (much more time) wanting to do one This action can be done by changing to the classic view from the ribbon, for example, managing permissions for a site, being able to manage sharepoint groups.

A little more advanced configurations, without becoming complex that depend a lot on the IT department.

Descriptions of some options or settings can become confusing, complicated and you simply are not able to know if it is what you are looking for or not, the language to the user is sometimes understood only through trial and error.

The scale of it is massive. My corner of this mega world in my organization is siloed off except when I decide for it to not be. I don't need or want access to our whole legal department Sharepoint, but our legal council can share files to me at any time when needed. Same goes in reverse. I can keep my blinders on and grant access when and where I need to, and collaborate without a lot of worry that things will get lost. The backbone of this application seems robust and accessible across multiple areas of usage, so long as a solid internet connection can be provided.

The user interface can be frustrating at times. The screen real-estate is not efficient as a business tool and this is probably the reason I don't use this more often. I also deal with entities of the organization that don't have strong internet connections in various parts of the world, and the inefficiencies in the browser GUI become even more apparent. Scrolling through a folder with any significant number of files becomes a chore on poor internet. The search bar can cut through this, but only if you know what you are looking for and can spell it correctly. With multiple languages involved in business, a search bar is sometimes less useful than you might think.

Microsoft Sharepoint has allow us to effectively collaborate with our global team and third party without exposing us to security risks or restricting our workflowWe are able to restore files deleted in error or malisciously or affected by ransomware thanks to versioning.We are able to synchronize documents across multiple devices which is very convenient for mobile team members who may need to access a document from a mobile device while in transit or not in the office or not have access to their normal work device.

We have not yet come across any real issue with SharePoint since we have used this for so many years.I think outside of temporary technical glitches or comparison with specific features someone would be used to in another solution Microsoft SharePoint has not displayed any issue for us.
