How can SharePoint be choked? And if it is really choked, how can they dream of doing it better than Microsoft?
- nguyenkien 3y agoI assume they self host on mac mini with external hard drive to store files. Not hosted by Microsoft.
- psnehanshu 3y agoDidn't know SharePoint can be self hosted.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoIt's actually spent more years as a self hosted only application than as an online only one.
- csydas 3y agoYeah on premises share point is absolutely still a thing. it’s not as common as i get it as microsoft wants you to migrate to share point online and at least clients i talked to said they did the migration because of licensing pressure from microsoft but i cannot comment on that personally. Share point is just MSSQL in the backend and while setting up share point is mostly a simple affair with clicking through the wizards, managing it can get complex for the inexperienced since there’s a lot going on for on premises. the allure of a quick and easy self hosted share point site vanishes pretty fast once the reality of protecting it and keeping it running hits.
- psnehanshu 3y agoThat's new information for me. Share point is just MSSQL in the backend Well, a lot of software is just xyzSQL/DB in the backend.
- callamdelaney 3y agoI think because it's microsoft is the answer to both of your questions.
