Hi Everyone
I’m currently setting up SharePoint for a company using SharePoint Online (E1) package of Office 365.
I seem to be getting a slow performance from SharePoint even with a fast internet connection within the office. I have tried using Chrome (Mac and Windows 7 Ultimate) and IE (Windows 7 Ultimate). I find pages are hanging and I need to refresh. One page took nearly 20 seconds to open.
I performed a demo the other day and was struggling, which was a bit embarrassing!
Anyone else had this problem with SharePoint Online?
Many thanks
Mark.
I actually disagree with you to a good amount, and agree with you partially. Your sentence “Yes Cloud Computing is good for some things, but not ALL things.” captures my opinion quite well. You could easily replace “Cloud Computing” here with SharePoint Online.
Is SPO suitable for document management? Absolutely! Is On-Premises better suited for it? It depends (as always, with SharePoint). I would definitely never rule out SPO, there are lots of good use cases for it. For example, a small company that wants to collaborate with externals, or a company that is situated in multiple locations. But there are of course also lots of cases where moving to SPO may be the wrong choice, be it when the desired functionality is not available, there are specific regulatory requirements, or simply when you’re working with quite large files (let’s say 50+MB) on a regular basis (daily, maybe even multiple times a day) and you don’t have a HUGE internet connection.
In the end, every move to the cloud needs to be considered individually and planned carefully.
