“Another audience member said that he has to do development on the server – he can’t do it on his workstation because his computer isn’t powerful enough to run Sharepoint.” – I’m wondering about this comment from someone who has used Sharepoint. It’s either he has a really old machine, or sharepoint really needs a powerful one.
It’s not gonna be very good if it’s too heavy to be using sharepoint on a regular computer. Can I compare it to like playing a video game? You can’t really install the newer ones because it requires the latest graphics card while yours is only last year’s model. There you go with MS again. They always want you to upgrade.
Microsoft is in my eyes an agressive company overall so no wonder the sales reps are agressive. But i totaly agree that they should take it down a notch and be realistic.
I always believe that microsoft technology is not bad as people say.
Most of people us Microsoft but abuse it frequently and thats bad.
Personally i like DNN and i have severan site using it. SharePoint is also a good CMS but require bit more knowledge.
Bullshit!!!
“There is no hint of weakness, no acknowledgement that implementing Sharepoint may involve a lot of effort or that it may be complicated“???
You probably have no clue what the market offers in terms web application development; nothing to compare with.
Sharepoint might be acceptable to build a web site, for a non technical person willing to spend a lot of time to learn it. But for a technical person this is simply unbearable.
If you want to develop an application, Sherepoint is definitely not the way to go. It has great limitations, it’s incredible slow and instable and requires huge amount of work and resources for tasks that could be accomplished in no time with ASP or PHP.
“Business people decide to buy Sharepoint without having properly considered how it will be used, then they look at what they can use it for, which is the wrong way around” – That was a correct statement. I DO appreciate the person that highlighted that big sharepoint problem.
Once again, Microsoft pays big money on promotion of a useless product, and business people are supid enough to buy that.
Hi Florin,
Umm, I was saying that the *Microsoft sales guys* give no hint that SharePoint has any weaknesses or that SharePoint is complicated and hard to implement.
The implication is that *I* do think that it has lots of weaknesses and is complicated and hard to implement. That’s why I’m calling the MS sales guys out!
So I think you meant to agree with me rather than calling Bullshit!
