Hi there,
We have multiple sub-sites that contain lot of references to documents that are placed in Library or workspace.
Over the period of time, many of the documents have been moved or replaced but links are not updated in the site leaving them as broken link.
we would need to fix such broken links. We dont have access to powerscripts or Central admin as of now to execute anything.
Kindly suggest possible solutions.
Thanks,
Chetan
Hi Jason,
It has several use cases including post-migration URL validation and correction, on-going URL health checking & maintenance, company takeover (and URL changes for sub section of sites), departmental changes and moving content to new location requires locating URL corrections.. We have customers with all of these cases, our product specializes in the SharePoint space.Â
We also have customers who have offered to be used for referrals as they have been impressed with the tool and the support we provide.
As it compares to other products – I would say our tool is designed specifically for SharePoint and can scan SharePoint lists, all metadata, web parts, file content including list file attachments , libraries, scanning within PDF, all MS Office files, our tool will export automated reports (using a built-in scheduler) to SharePoint (or CSV report), performs automatic find/replace (can also do this in bulk with users providing a using MS Excel with old and new links), it also works with not only  broken links but can find/replace specific string matches that you can specify), inclusion and exclusion rules, as well as different caching mechanisms to improve performance. It also does not require any server-side install and uses native SharePoint CSOM programming to communicate with SharePoint 2010, 2013 and Office 365.
We would not speak negatively against other competitor products as it comes down to what suits your needs better and they may have other types of offerings that we do not, it looks like they supports OpenText which we do not.
Hopefully that helps but feel free to contact us if you need further support or have any other questions!
Chris
