Sharepoint 2016 Standard-Windows server 2016-Supported by Cognosys

I started using Sharepoint 2016 Standard  when I joined my current role because all of the files that we work on in collaboration with my teammates are stored on Sharepoint. It is quite a useful platform for using various Microsoft tools and is super easy to navigate through. I have been using it since I joined and we use it quite frequently.

It is mainly Excel sheets. Whatever projects we are working on, we keep all those records of sheets on Sharepoint. Everyone is able to see each other's work and it becomes easy to review and move forward. I would love to know what other file types or what kind of data we can upload on Sharepoint or access. I would like to know more about the platform so that we can use it more holistically.

I actually missed highlighting one more application that we use on Sharepoint, which is PowerPoint presentations. The company training material is also stored there. Your answer gave me more use cases of Sharepoint, so I am going to start using it for more applications. It is quite a useful tool.

We are easily able to create different folders in Sharepoint 2016 Standard , similar to how we create folders on our personal desktop. These folders can be easily accessed by various parties and I have control over who can access those folders. If I am the creator of any folder on Sharepoint, I can add people to the folders based on the projects they are involved in rather than having everyone able to access all folders. That is quite a useful feature. Sharepoint 2016 Standard is fast and I do not face any lagging issues. It is pretty easy to navigate through.

When I and another teammate are working in the same Excel sheet on Sharepoint, a big green line appears over the tabs or cells that my teammate is editing at the moment so that I can understand what the other person is working on. There is also a little icon or toggle which shows the initials of the person who is working on those cells. Although it is a very small feature, because we use Sharepoint 2016 Standard with multiple people, it is good to have so that we can easily distinguish which cells not to touch at the moment.

Whenever there is an audit going on, I prepare files to present to the audit. If my management wants to see the progress tracking on those files or presentations, I work on the files that are stored on Sharepoint and management is able to see the progress. Once the files are finalized, we can share the link of the same folder with the audit team or add the members of the audit team in Sharepoint in that particular folder so that the final work is easily shared with the concerned party.

Sharepoint 2016 Standard has definitely saved a lot of time. Management can track the progress on a real-time basis rather than following up with me on mail or chat and having me share the files with them on email. Sharepoint 2016 Standard makes it real-time. The use case is quite visible and it has saved a lot of time and back and forth.

I find Sharepoint 2016 Standard dependable for my needs in terms of accuracy and reliability of output.

I do not think there is anything missing in Sharepoint 2016 Standard. It is a vast platform and whatever use I plan to have on Sharepoint, I can navigate through it or search things on Google or any other AI chatbots and they give me the solution of where to find something or whether something can be done on Sharepoint. Whatever use case I have been involved in or whatever additional things that I needed, I have always been able to find those on Sharepoint 2016 Standard. I do not think I have anything to add as an additional feature.

Regarding Sharepoint 2016 Standard's AI capabilities, I do not think my organization has implemented the AI functionality of Sharepoint so far. I have not used or seen AI playing a role in Sharepoint application or software.

I have been working in my current field for six months.

Sharepoint 2016 Standard is very stable. I have not seen any crashes or downtimes so far.

It has been good so far with Sharepoint 2016 Standard.

There was no other solution before Sharepoint 2016 Standard. This was the new thing that got introduced when I joined the organization.

Time saved is definitely a benefit with Sharepoint 2016 Standard. Money savings or fewer employees needed have not been affected by this platform. Time has definitely been saved by the use case of Sharepoint 2016 Standard, approximately half an hour on a daily basis.

I think I have highlighted most of the information. Just check out the platform of Sharepoint 2016 Standard. My review rating for this product is ten out of ten.

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.
