Evaluated on 1 key scenario:
• Can I1. Log in to a SharePoint site 2. Browse to a file I want3. Check it out4. Edit it (*using QuickOffice Pro, sold separately)
5. Check it back in
- Without reading any documentation
Colligo
• Biggest strength is synching offline content
• Usability is not as good as it could be
• No check-in check-out feature
Colligo – Site Sites
Colligo - Browse Browse
View Files
Colligo - Edit Editing
Synching
Colligo – Final Review• Best for “read-only” offline
synching
• Checking the file in and out was not integrated well into the experience and caused some usability issues
• Because of the synch settings, I was editing an older version of the doc.
Filamente – Quick Review• Similar to Colligo
• Could check the file out but could not determine how to check back in. Caused some usability issues
• Does have integration with Dropbox
SharePlus (Infragistics)
• Integration points with SP editing features are solid
• Synch settings a bit more intuitive
• Good support for questions!

SharePlus – Final Review• Only product where I could
seamlessly conduct my use case scenario
• WINNER!
• Required no reading or instructions
• Assistance was good when I had product questions
Harmon.ie Review
• Great UI except for “properties”• Does have check-in check-out built
into the product but I experienced an error
• Does NOT have offline synch• Does have social feeds
Harmon.ie Check-out/

Updates
In Summary…
• Best All-around: SharePlus
• Best UI and Social capabilities: Harmon.ie, but no offline synch
• Colligo and Filamente’s user experiences caused some problems
Thank You!
