Ishtar365 versus SharePoint, in a nutshell.

A standard SharePoint offers a wide range of functionalities that are often too general for specific business needs. This leads to limitations, complex usage, and especially high customization costs.

This blog will give you a brief overview that highlights the challenges of standard SharePoint and the advantages of Ishtar365.

Are you sticking with the standard SharePoint?

1. Generic functionalities.

Standard SharePoint offers many features but they are often too general and do not meet specific business needs. Companies often find themselves limited by the complex configurations and capabilities.

2. Complexity in use.

Without modifications, SharePoint can be complex and challenging for end users, especially when it comes to finding documents or managing projects with only the basic tools.

3. Cost of adaptation

Although SharePoint is customizable, the cost and time required to adapt it to a company's specific needs can add up seriously. This includes development hours, testing and rollout of custom features.

4. Integration challenges

Integrating with other systems can be complex and expensive with the standard SharePoint, especially if specific interactions are required such as those between Project Management, Task Management, Resource Planning, DMS, etc.
