3.2GPA

Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 9, 2026

Best for intranets for firms already on Microsoft 365

SharePoint is where a company on Microsoft 365 keeps its intranet, team sites and documents, with version history on every file and permissions right down to a single item. It comes inside the Microsoft 365 business plans, from $5.40 a user a month. You can't buy it by itself, and there's no free plan, only a one-month trial that wants a card.

Who Microsoft SharePoint is for

  • Great if your company already pays for Microsoft 365 and needs an intranet
  • Handy when documents need version history and permissions down to a single item
  • Good for firms getting their internal content in order for Microsoft 365 Copilot

Who Microsoft SharePoint is not for

  • Skip it if you're not on Microsoft 365, because there's no standalone SharePoint plan
  • Not for you if you want a free plan, as the one-month trial needs a credit card
  • Tight if you're over 300 users, since the business plans stop there and point you to enterprise

Why Microsoft SharePoint gets a 3.2

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • AValue for moneyIt comes with Microsoft 365 Business Basic at $5.40 a user a month paid yearly without Teams, or $7.00 with. That's under what most docs and wiki tools start at, and it includes 1 TB of storage per user and the web Office apps. Copilot is an add-on for Basic, at a regular $21.00.
  • DFree plan and trialNo free plan. Microsoft 365 business plans have a one-month free trial, but it needs a credit card and trial storage is limited. Eligible nonprofits do get Business Basic as a grant, free for up to 300 users.
  • AFeaturesTeam sites and company-wide news sites built from templates, document libraries with version history and live co-editing, Microsoft Lists, and permissions at site, list or item level. You can extend it with Power Apps and Power Automate, and Copilot drafts pages from a description.
  • BEase of use4.6 from about 141,000 App Store ratings, which would normally be an A. But that's the phone app. Before anyone opens it, a company needs a Microsoft 365 business plan and an admin to set up the sites and decide who sees what.
  • APlatforms and integrationsIt runs in the browser with iPhone and Android apps, and it's wired into Teams, OneDrive, Word, Excel, Power Automate and Copilot Studio. Developers can build on the SharePoint Framework. Microsoft lists no dedicated desktop app.
