Sharepoint 2016 Standard-Windows server 2016-Supported by Cognosys

I use Sharepoint 2016 Standard  for storing and retrieving documents. Specifically, I store product-related documents, project-related documents, and any BI-specific documents. We are not developing the product itself.

I have utilized the Enhanced Sharing Abilities in Sharepoint 2016. I worked on one project long ago where we moved one of the sites into Sharepoint. It was a very tiny site, just a few MBs, so we moved it there and published that particular site on Sharepoint. Sharepoint 2016 Standard  serves the purpose of storing and retrieving documents, including product-related documents, project-related documents, and any BI-specific documents.

I would assess the integration of Microsoft Office apps within Sharepoint 2016 Standard for document management as lacking. There is no integration we can access within Sharepoint 2016 Standard. There is an online document we can retrieve as it is on a cloud solution. However, we are not integrated with Outlook and similar applications. Mostly, it functions as a repository for storing and retrieving documents.

I think Sharepoint 2016 Standard can be improved, but I am not sure if it has connectivity with SAP. I would like to see additional features in Sharepoint 2016 Standard, and apart from the integration, I do not see anything else to consider. They need to work on the integration part.

I have been working with this product for three years.

I could recommend multiple products instead of Sharepoint 2016 Standard, such as OpenText  cloud-based and Documentum.

I believe integration with SAP products is important. SAP is mainly used for customer data, and the metadata can go to the SAP database. The files associated with the user can go to Sharepoint 2016 Standard, and the link can be stored into the SAP database so that whatever documents are needed, they can be accessed from the SAP side and quickly retrieved from Sharepoint 2016 Standard.

I think about the pricing of Sharepoint 2016 Standard, and I am still not sure, but it should be competitive when considering the rest of the products in the market. Sharepoint 2016 Standard is widely being used now. However, it is mainly lagging with integration with multiple things. There are scanning solutions from OpenText , such as Captiva and other scanning solutions. Whatever scan happens from the scanning solution should directly go to Sharepoint 2016 Standard via a workflow. That is what the integration should mainly focus on. When we are talking about ECM , the integration should happen with the rest of the world.

I do not use Sharepoint 2016 Standard Improved Mobile Access. We do not have any mobile access for Sharepoint 2016 Standard. I do not use the Smarter Search functionality in Sharepoint 2016 Standard. I do not use the hybrid capabilities in Sharepoint 2016 Standard.

I rate this product an 8 out of 10.

I use Sharepoint 2016 Standard  in my day-to-day work as part of a team in an organization where I rely on it for document management and internal file sharing.

I use Sharepoint 2016 Standard  for knowledge management as a central repository. In projects where I work with around two to three people, each team member prepares design documents, requirement gathering documents, and other documents including SOPs, manuals, and policies. Every document needs to be visible to all other members in that project, and we use Sharepoint 2016 Standard as a centralized place for this purpose. We also use it for workflow automation including approvals and other document review processes where we submit and upload documents. It primarily functions as a team collaboration site.

Sharepoint 2016 Standard stands out to me for its integration with Microsoft tools including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook.

When I need to send a document through Outlook or share it with other team members, and when I need files in different formats such as Word or Excel, the integration with Sharepoint 2016 Standard helps me tremendously and makes the process very easy. This integration is helping my team collaborate extensively.

Sharepoint 2016 Standard has role-based access control, which secures our enterprise data effectively. The user interface is also very intuitive, allowing me to access documents with ease.

Using Sharepoint 2016 Standard enables me to share my thought process and knowledge bases easily across teams as well as within teams. It has improved my productivity significantly. For the HR team, onboarding new team members has become easier because all documents are stored in one location. For the knowledge transfer process, Sharepoint 2016 Standard is very useful.

I have been working with this solution for two years.

For technical members, using Sharepoint 2016 Standard will be easy. For non-IT persons, once they refer to the documentation, setup and navigation will be very easy for them.

Sharepoint 2016 Standard is currently working well for my needs. I would suggest reducing the number of questions in review processes because it takes a long time to complete, and the same questions are repeated multiple times. Overall, the experience has been good. I gave this product a rating of ten out of ten.

The experience with Sharepoint 2016 Standard  involves using it to adjust and design some applications to create tools for controlling our production line and processes.

We use Sharepoint 2016 Standard  as an internal engine to control and make workflows. We designed a specific workflow to monitor the current daily processes in our company.

I used Sharepoint 2016 Standard to design internal processes for endo marketing and to control the internal processes of my company.

Sharepoint 2016 Standard is great software where we can configure applications inside the environment that are very useful for my company and other companies. In the recent past, I worked for a German company that had wide application for Sharepoint 2016 Standard. They used a similar application that I worked with, and I brought some applications to my company. They are really very useful.

It is great software. It is expensive. This is really an expensive product, but it is very effective. I know there are other tools we could use, but Sharepoint 2016 Standard is really the best one in my point of view. However, it should be less expensive per user.

This is something that people who have deeper knowledge about the tool should contribute to regarding what should be improved. I am just an end-user of some tools created and designed using Sharepoint 2016 Standard.

When I worked at Siemens, I qualified a new workflow tooling called TIBCO solution. At that time, we paid a lot of money. We should have gone directly to Sharepoint 2016 Standard at that time, but TIBCO was considered the more up-to-date solution. Operating with TIBCO was more difficult than Sharepoint 2016 Standard. I had to maintain software engineers to create the workflows or solutions. With Sharepoint 2016 Standard, you do not have to be a specialist. You just need some training, and after this, you are able to design solutions to make your daily job easier.

We use Sharepoint 2016 Standard to design applications that create tools to control our production line and processes. We use it as an internal engine to control and make workflows. We designed a workflow to monitor the current daily processes in our company.

I considered alternative solutions.

I am the owner of the company and suggest contacting IT people for detailed technical information. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Sharepoint 2016 Standard an 8.
