If you are talking about a central repository for documentation and collaboration, and SharePoint does it well. As a sales person, I create a lot of lead lists and collateral that I use on a day to day basis, and without a tool like Ms SharePoint, it would have been a nightmare managing all those lead lists and all that documentation. Ms PowerPoint has enabled us to create a central repository for our documents and collateral. I also love the fact that it’s easy to share those documents internally and even externally if you need to share the documents externally. It’s super safe and secure and it does make life a lot easier if you deal with a lot of documents > > **Cons**: So far, I haven’t come across something I do not like about Ms SharePoint. You can access it from anywhere and it makes it easy to collaborate with teams > > My overall experience with Ms SharePoint has been great. Collaborating with teams is easier since you can see all updates that are being made in real time. If you work in a dynamic team from all over the world or country, Ms SharePoint makes it easier to manage documents and some essential collateral. You can easily work with Excel files, Word Documents, PowerPoint documents and it’s very easy to edit and customise all these documents. You can easily create Folders and Sub Folders for hygiene and ease to find documents. I love Ms SharePoint and will continue using it. ----- ### "Easy access to essential Documentation with SharePoint" — 5.0/5 > **Marco** | *21 January 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and keep all our company documentation in one place. > > **Cons**: Lots of features the feels overwhelming to figure out. > > Sharing and having a central place to store our companies training documentation makes getting to them fast and easy. I can access it anywhere. ----- ### "ShapePoint Review" — 4.0/5 > **Celeste** | *10 January 2025* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: A web services that allows users to collaborate and share information in real time and the integration of other products. > > **Cons**: That SharePoint itself is quite costly and there have been some issues with Maintenace > > For me i cant fault SharePoint i find it easy to work with as well as with my team the security is awesome and the documents i need are easily accessible. ----- ### "SharePoint is great for big teams" — 5.0/5 > **Farrah** | *31 January 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: So I like the fact that multiple people from teams can edit at the same time > > **Cons**: It's not fully compatible with Chrome and Firefox > > No issues other that compatibility ----- ### "The digital backbone for organized company documentation" — 4.0/5 > **Brendan** | *06 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. ----- Page: 1 / 219\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1167/sharepoint?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/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
