5 Actual Sharepoint Alternatives in 2019: Not every collaborative app is a Sharepoint Alternative

1

MS SharePoint

Sharepoint might have project management features, but no team uses Sharepoint primarily for projects. If you want a nimble and modern project or work management solution, Sharepoint is definitely not for you. Both Monday and Asana fall into the same category as Trello.

Slack

We have nothing against Slack. Its success speaks for itself. However, to call it a Sharepoint Alternative is stretching it. Stewart Butterfield, Slack’s co-founder, was asked what Slack was in a keynote in Boston in 2017. After thinking and laughing for some seconds, his answer was “well, we call it a communication platform for the workplace.”

Trello

Trello is another product everyone loves. It’s one of the world-leading project management tools for teams. It is used for IT teams to track bugs, coordinate leads between the marketing and sales departments, product roadmaps, individual to-do lists, and even funeral planning (and you thought you have seen everything).

WordPress

Get this, even WordPress is sometimes seen as a Sharepoint Alternative! If you are considering an alternative to Sharepoint, you are probably not looking to build a public website. Sharepoint does offer some limited capabilities to create public websites, but its strength lies in building intranet portals which mash information with tools workers need to accomplish their goals.

HyperOffice

Since 2004, HyperOffice has focused on offering a complete collaborative suite. With its vision of offering an integrated collaboration environment it offers a huge overlap with Sharepoint capabilities. HyperOffice is suitable for medium sized companies which want capabilities similar to Sharepoint, but in a simple out-of-the-box interface.

Box

Box has gained momentum in the document sharing and collaborative arena. Although Box is primarily focused on the document management piece for Sharepoint, it qualifies as a worthy alternative because most companies use Sharepoint primarily for this feature. Moreover, Box’s DM capabilities have a lot of depth, making it suitable for enterprises.

Confluence

If we want to identify a personality for each app, we would clearly consider Microsoft as a cold giant company, perfect for corporate environments, regardless of the dependency or department. Meanwhile, Confluence is made, designed and thought for web development teams.

Google Workspace

Google has been a worthy foe, challenging Microsoft in many of its core areas with its web-first approach – browsers, search, email you name it. GSuite is Google’s product in the collaboration market and brings a similar “integrated collaboration environment” approach to Sharepoint. Though email is the centerpiece of GSuite it also includes the following capabilities.
