Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft 365 content, intranet and document-management platform for secure collaboration, versioning, search, governance, automation and Copilot-powered knowledge work.
SharePoint combines document libraries, versioning, access controls, intranet/team sites, lists, enterprise search, coauthoring and workflow connections across Microsoft 365. In 2026 Microsoft is also positioning SharePoint as the knowledge layer for Copilot and agents, with AI-ready content, custom agents and natural-language content work.
G2 currently rates Microsoft SharePoint 4.0/5 from 8,985 reviews and Capterra rates it 4.4/5 from 5,469, with Capterra ease of use at 4.1 and customer service at 4.1. Users value centralization and Microsoft 365 integration but repeatedly note navigation, permissions and initial setup complexity.
Microsoft publishes SharePoint Plan 1 at $5/user/month paid yearly, with 1 TB of storage per user and core document/site capabilities. SharePoint is also included in broader Microsoft 365 plans, which can complicate apples-to-apples price comparisons but gives existing Microsoft customers strong bundled value.
SharePoint is deeply integrated with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, OneDrive, Lists, Power Automate, Power Apps and Microsoft Graph. It inherits Microsoft 365 enterprise identity, security, retention, eDiscovery, compliance and data-governance controls, making it one of the strongest governance options in this category.
