Among all, sharing the right document at the right time with your employees or staff members may be a tricky task. But using a collaborative tool like Microsoft\u2019s SharePoint can solve your problem to a large extent.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #000080;\">&#8220;Over the years, SharePoint has gained much popularity and is now used by more than 200 million users and is deployed in more than 400 of the Fortune 500 companies.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But despite its increased popularity and maturity, there are a few problems that still persist in SharePoint development.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_SharePoint_Problems_that_Might_Urge_the_Users_to_Leave\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #003366;\">The SharePoint Problems that Might Urge the Users to Leave\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Isolated_Social_Networking\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Isolated Social Networking:<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The SharePoint Community Site feature had a great start as it was a great idea to generate social network. But soon Yammer integration overtook it, but it has some governance issues when it lives in SharePoint. Again the user experience is less than ideal as sharing and reading the feeds through social network needs navigating off the main intranet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/faqs-sharepoint\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3479 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/SharePoint-FAQ.png\" alt=\"SharePoint FAQs\" width=\"831\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/SharePoint-FAQ.png 831w, https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/SharePoint-FAQ-300x36.png 300w, https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/SharePoint-FAQ-768x92.png 768w, https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/SharePoint-FAQ-823x100.png 823w, https:\/\/www.idslogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/SharePoint-FAQ-560x67.png 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Complex Customization:\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you are looking for out of the box solutions, then SharePoint is just the best solution.

Many small organizations are unable to bear the cost and it is seen that the cost across large organizations also becomes exorbitant. Though the ROI argument is often strong for SharePoint, users at times leave the platform because of its price tag.\u00a0 But at the same time you should remember that with price comes quality.
