DeliverPoint 2007 FAQ
Is DeliverPoint available for SharePoint Services 3.0 as well as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007?
Yes, DeliverPoint 2007 is available for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
How is DeliverPoint licensed?
DeliverPoint is licensed on a per Web Front End basis.
Why would I choose DeliverPoint instead of other permission management tools?
DeliverPoint also imbeds itself into SharePoint making it accessible to Site Owners as well as Site Collection owners. Other permission management tools are designed just for the SharePoint Admins. It would be dangerous to grant a Site Owner permission to a General SharePoint Admin tool as they could do damage to your SharePoint environment.
We very accurately report on permissions within our permission reports. Some other tools which are General Administration Tools and not specific Permission Management tools are not often as granular which equates to incorrect information being reported.
DeliverPoint is a very cost effective tool that focuses purely on one problem and doesn’t duplicate SharePoint functionality that already exists out of the box.
Why is DeliverPoint a lot cheaper than other Permission Management tools?
DeliverPoint focuses on just being a Permissions Management tool and solves a big problem that SharePoint Site owners and Administrators face on a daily basis. Other ‘General Administration’ tools offer permission management functionality but that functionality is only available to SharePoint Administrators. Lightning Tools do make DeliverPoint available as part of a package with other tools such as Content Roll Up, Forums, and Data Integration tools which would become more useful than a general admin tool for around the same cost.
