It represents good value considering the range of features and the UI is modern, simple and functional. There is more than one way of doing the same thing. Document libraries are simple to maintain and show metadata to manage them. Integration with Outlook makes sending out monthly newsletters or other memos simple. I can also train a Copilot AI chatbot on the content which has been very valuable. > > **Cons**: There is a limited amount of page layouts which means it is not possible to make optimal use of the screen real estate and users need to scroll. The tiles can only be 2, 3 or 5. and the edges of the screen appear to be wasted space. > > I built an internal hub site from the ground up for my department. It then grew in scope and now has an audience of hundreds of my collegues. It is easy to launch, manage and update the site which is important in our fast changing industry. ----- ### "I love collaborating on Microsoft Sharepoint\!" — 5.0/5 > **Callum** | *14 August 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy it makes collaborating on documents with my team in real time. Having everything stored in one central place with seamless Microsoft 365 integration keeps us organized and cuts out endless email attachments. > > **Cons**: The learning curve can be pretty steep, especially when it comes to managing permissions and site structure. If it isn't set up properly from the start, the search function can get cluttered quickly, making it tricky to find specific files. It can also feel a bit clunky and overly complex compared to simpler cloud storage options. > > SharePoint is a solid, reliable workhorse for team collaboration and file management. Once you get past the initial learning curve and set up a clear structure, it does a great job keeping everyone on the same page. The seamless integration with Microsoft 365 makes day-to-day work much smoother, even if the user interface feels a bit corporate and complex at times. ----- ### "The digital backbone for organized company documentation" — 4.0/5 > **Brendan** | *6 July 2026* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: SharePoint is the best place to keep our organization’s 'source of truth.' It’s fantastic for structured document management storing company policies, HR forms, and project documentation in a way that is secure and easy for the whole team to navigate. The integration with Microsoft 365 is seamless, and having granular control over permissions and document versioning is essential for keeping our sensitive data organised and protected. > > **Cons**: The setup can be quite complex. Because it is so powerful and flexible, it’s very easy to end up with a cluttered, confusing site structure if you don't have someone on the team who is dedicated to maintaining it. The learning curve for setting up sites and managing permissions correctly is definitely steeper than just using a basic shared folder. > > S harePoint is an essential piece of infrastructure for us. It’s moved us away from scattered file servers to a modern, cloud-based intranet that scales as we grow. While it does require some investment of time and discipline to keep the architecture clean, the trade-off is a much more organised, secure, and professional way to manage our company's collective knowledge. ----- ### "A great file sharing and file storage solution" — 5.0/5 > **Emma** | *8 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organization 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. ----- ### "Powerful Document Management and Collaboration Platform That Can Be Complex to Manage" — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *1 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: SharePoint is good value if you’re already on Microsoft 365, gives you a central place to store, organise and share files without needing another system. It handles document management well with version control, permissions, structured libraries so everything stays in one place and easier to find once it’s set up right. It works well with Teams and OneDrive too, makes collaboration and sharing simple across users. Security is solid and having everything in one platform helps keep things controlled. It’s also flexible enough to build basic intranet pages or internal sites for communication. > > **Cons**: Value drops a bit if you need extra support or time spent managing it. Support can be slow unless you’ve got the right plan. Employee access and permissions are powerful but easy to overcomplicate, can end up confusing who has access to what. The interface isn’t the most intuitive, takes time to get used to and can feel cluttered, especially for new users. > > Overall it’s a solid platform once it’s set up properly, works best if you’re already using Microsoft 365. Great for keeping documents organised and improving collaboration, but if it’s not managed well it can get messy and frustrating fairly quickly. ----- Page: 1 / 220\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1167/sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
