My main use case for Sharepoint 2016 Standard is that it is the best alternative to traditional physical hard drives. It is very safe to store files, which makes it more secure and less likely to get lost. We have implemented this across our organization after a major cyber attack that happened to our company back in 2017.

Cloud file sharing has transformed secure collaboration and protected our data after cyber attacks
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features Sharepoint 2016 Standard offers, in my opinion, are that it organizes our documents and other materials into folder libraries within a custom website and provides sharing tools and rules specific to that site. It integrates well with other Microsoft products through Office 365. Adding and removing users is easy for administrators. Its simple document structure makes it clear where to best store documents.
Out of those features, I find myself appreciating the integration with Office 365 the most, which makes it easier to share files and collaboration.
I would also like to highlight that features such as version control to view any changes made and access control over any file or folder stand out to me. Additionally, the intuitive mobile application for easy access on the go enhances our experience.
Sharepoint 2016 Standard has positively impacted my organization because since we had a cyber attack in 2017 and implemented this tool, it has been a secure and easy way to store files and access files for the people who are given permission. It can be accessed from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. Collaboration has been made easier between departments and also with remote employees and clients.
What needs improvement?
Sharepoint 2016 Standard can be improved because the user interface slows down productivity for our staff at times; it is very slow. Granting access to outsiders and guests is also difficult.

I have noticed fewer errors, increased security, and increased collaboration by fifty percent, which shows how Sharepoint 2016 Standard has improved efficiency and collaboration in my organization.
What needs improvement?
Sharepoint 2016 Standard can be improved, as it is difficult to create a private folder sometimes. I have experienced a problem where a folder is visible to all, which should not be the case. Sometimes while uploading a file with the same name, it does not create version history.
I would add that if an employee makes some changes in a file and if we want to redo the changes, it does not allow us to go to the original files.

Centralized collaboration has improved document access, version control, and time savings
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Sharepoint 2016 Standard is that we use this as our intranet, where all documents are stored so that everyone has access to it. Since it is a cloud-based platform, it is accessible at any time. We can also easily ensure that a particular document, folder, or library can have restricted access. The use of metadata is useful for filtering or searching for a particular document. The fact that multiple users can edit and collaborate on the document at the same time is beneficial for departmental collaboration. It also keeps previous versions, which can be rolled back at any time.
To collaborate using Sharepoint 2016 Standard, I share project documents easily with my colleagues, enhancing collaboration even in remote areas.

The best features Sharepoint 2016 Standard offers are easy collaboration, the ability to specify specific access, notifications from workflows, and metadata. I find myself relying on all of those features, including the fact that it is a cloud-based platform, which makes it very easy to access documents. The use of metadata is useful while filtering or searching for a particular document. Additionally, there is easy collaboration between departments or team members.
I appreciate document management in Sharepoint 2016 Standard because it is easy, with file movements, indexing, ease of data access, and ease of doing business. Sharepoint 2016 Standard has positively impacted my organization because it has been a great tool, delivering measurable return on investment through improved compliance, reduced manual effort, and better collaboration. By reduced manual effort, I mean the automation of tedious tasks, which saves time and cost.
Since we started using Sharepoint 2016 Standard, we have been able to save between twenty to thirty percent of our time. We have also been able to reduce manual errors by approximately thirty percent.
What needs improvement?
One area where Sharepoint 2016 Standard needs improvements is that it is not easy to identify archived documents. When searching for documents, all documents show, and the only way to do this is to include 'archived' in the document name before setting the metadata to 'archived.'
Faster page loading and improved file movements from folder to folder in Sharepoint 2016 Standard would enhance the platform.

How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Apache Kafka and Canon Business Services Managed IT Services before Sharepoint 2016 Standard.

Sharepoint 2016 Standard is the best software product that addresses our problems and provides customer delight, as we use it for indexing, archiving, and it helps in effectively managing our files and documents. I would rate this product a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Centralized collaboration has transformed document control and reduced costly data errors
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Sharepoint 2016 Standard is that it is our central hub for collaboration and document management. It brings a new way of working, eliminating the need of sending documents back and forth, and an easy way to access version history. It enables secure document sharing with version control, automated approval workflows, and team-specific collaboration sites. It also helps to handle large-scale data storage and querying, supports real-time reporting through Power BI, and ensures centralized access to business-critical information.
During cross-department projects, my team uses a Sharepoint 2016 Standard project site with the task lists, document libraries, and version-controlled reports. Everyone works from the same source of truth.

The best features Sharepoint 2016 Standard offers in my experience include SQL, which has come a long way in reliability and dependability. It allows large data sets and performs very well with JSON.
Sharepoint 2016 Standard works well with sharing files and workflows. Easy collaboration is possible, and I can specify specific access levels. Notifications from workflows are available, and it enables secure document sharing with version control, automated approval workflows, and team-specific collaboration sites.
It also allows integration into Teams, and the entire Sharepoint 2016 Standard site can be viewed in Teams. I appreciate easy collaboration with team members by sharing links to files.
What needs improvement?
Sharepoint 2016 Standard can be improved by setting restrictions for permissions or access. Logging with two-factor authentication is frustrating as it is required every time, making it very annoying. Additionally, synchronizing data can take a minute.

Since collaboration is widely open, we are able to see real-time edits and do not have to wait for write access to input data changes. We also all have clear visibility of changes made by whom and when versus having to alert changes on a case-by-case basis. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.
Document storage has supported structured project and BI management workflows
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with this product for three years.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I could recommend multiple products instead of Sharepoint 2016 Standard, such as OpenText cloud-based and Documentum.
What other advice do I have?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.

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.
Centralized repository has improved secure policy management and streamlined business workflows
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Sharepoint 2016 Standard is data collection of many policies and procedure documentation and reporting and project management materials. I use Sharepoint 2016 Standard for conducting a business impact analysis and have created a Sharepoint site for all of the business impact analysis related information to be stored. This particular site is also protected and permission is granted to certain individuals to be able to view the data. It acts mainly as a very good information repository.
What is most valuable?
Sharepoint 2016 Standard has capability for very large file support, which I appreciate. The best feature Sharepoint 2016 Standard offers is data storage. I particularly value the data storage feature for its capacity. The protection and encrypted connections of Sharepoint 2016 Standard are very good. Sharepoint 2016 Standard has positively impacted my organization by providing a very good data repository and organization of various amounts of information that is stored in these Sharepoint sites.

What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
What was our ROI?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I considered alternative solutions.
