Both of these apps don’t reinvent the SharePoint experience in any way for iOS. I love SharePoint, and I love my iOS gadgets, so when both come together I have high expectations particularly for the interactions and UI. I thought there was a SharePoint iOS app that did, but I forget which one it was. They both support finding content within the current context, but neither support search at a more global level. Secondly, I wish both had site collection scoped search. It’s disappointing that there is no support at all for publishing pages (or wiki pages for that matter either). I don’t know how many modern SharePoint implementations are document-only, but at Portal Solutions we do WCM extensively in all our engagements. First, I can’t view pages on either of these apps. There are three big frustrations for both of them. It only allows you to filter by name and date modified.

It also has colleague and update sections from the user profile service. Unlike Colligo’s app, you can browse through an entire site collection without needing to sync. It provides a similar prompt to download sites, and the cool addition is that it will automatically add your MySite if it detects the user has one. Harmon.ie’s shtick for their app is more than just document management because harmon.ie focuses on bringing some of the social features of SharePoint into the app. The app is not universal meaning you will be looking for another option for your iPhone.The whole focus of this app is document and list management, and it doesn’t attempt to include any social features like harmon.ie’s app.The iconography is dated, and the overall aesthetic of the app leaves something to be desired.This was never an issue for me in Contributor because I only sync one site at a time, but on the iPad app it stinks. If you attempt to open a sub-site you have to choose what you want to sync. Here are my observations while working with the app: It’s a straight document and list management iPad app for SharePoint, and it doesn’t promise anything more than that. You can open documents in other apps and re-upload to SharePoint, and you can also edit metadata with no limitations that I could find. After choosing the lists/libraries you want the items and documents are downloaded. You are given an add site prompt, which then asks the user which lists/libraries they want to sync. What they have essentially done is port the Contributor experience to the iPad.
If you’re familiar with their contributor product, you’ll be at home with the iPad app. Regardless, I’m not letting those impressions shape the review below as I am judging each on their own iOS merits. Hopefully I will use harmon.ie’s desktop product soon, but I’m just too used to Colligo’s offering.
The reason I have not is because I hate Outlook getting slower than it already is, and I didn’t have a good experience with Colligo’s Outlook add-in (although I haven’t tried it recently). On the other hand, I have never used the harmon.ie desktop application. It continues to impress me, and I don’t hesitate to recommend it liberally.
I have used Colligo’s Contributor project for a few years now, and I admittedly love it. I think both of these are the two best options over other apps such as SharePlus and Filamente (although Filamente isn’t bad).īefore we get started I should be up front about my familiarity with each of these companies. I thought that instead of writing separate reviews for both that I would go over the good and bad from each to contrast.

I was recently provided with full versions of both Colligo’s Briefcase iPad app and harmon.ie’s universal iOS app.
