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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Sharepoint is a great internal software for any organisation." — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *30 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: SharePoint is software that allows any organisation to work seamlessly together, even if they work in very different environments. I like using SharePoint to create a central Hub for our organisation that has many different aspects in common, and we can edit it and amend it to use as we see fit. > > **Cons**: Sharepoint is great once you know what you are doing but it can take some time for users to learn and as there are so many different aspects to Sharepoint it is hard to know how to use everything correctly. > > We have been using SharePoint for some time now, and we have found it great to customise and use as our own internal intranet. We can amend pages and create specific sections for the different areas and teams within our organisation. ----- ### "A Solid, Collaborative Platform with Room to Grow" — 5.0/5 > **Lucas** | *16 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft SharePoint shines most in how effortlessly it brings teams, documents, and workflows together in one organised, secure space, making collaboration feel far more streamlined. Its tight integration with Microsoft 365—especially Teams, OneDrive, and Outlook—means files stay synced, version control is automatic, and people can co‑author without worrying about duplicates or lost changes. SharePoint’s customisable sites and libraries make it easy to build hubs, dashboards, or intranet pages that actually fit how a team works, while its powerful permissions and governance tools help keep information safe and well‑structured. The platform’s ability to automate processes through Power Automate adds another layer of efficiency, turning repetitive tasks into smooth, reliable workflows. > > **Cons**: The least satisfying part of working with Microsoft SharePoint is how complex and unintuitive it can feel, especially for users who aren’t already familiar with Microsoft’s ecosystem. The interface often requires too many clicks to perform simple tasks, and managing permissions—while powerful—can become confusing and time‑consuming, leading to accidental access issues or bottlenecks. SharePoint’s customisation options, though extensive, sometimes introduce inconsistencies or break easily when updates roll out, which can frustrate teams relying on stable intranet pages or workflows. Performance can also vary, with occasional slow load times for large libraries or heavily customised sites. Despite these challenges, many of them become easier to manage once a team has clear governance and training in place. > > My overall experience with Microsoft SharePoint has been positive, as it provides a reliable and flexible platform for organizing documents, collaborating with teams, and managing information across an organization; its integration with Microsoft 365 makes sharing and version control straightforward, and features like customizable sites and automated workflows help streamline daily tasks, though it can feel complex at first and occasionally requires some configuration to get the most out of it. ----- ### "EXCELLENT.." — 5.0/5 > **ELDHO** | *4 June 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: t integrates natively with Word, Excel, Teams, and Outlook.: Users can build workflows using Power Automate without jumping to external apps > > **Cons**: Non-technical team members often find the navigation layout confusing and difficult to understand... > > a highly robust, deeply integrated enterprise platform that excels at document management and collaboration, but comes with a notable learning curve. ----- 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
