It all comes down to what you’re trying to accomplish.
SharePoint is tailored for extensive document management and collaboration within larger enterprises. Whale focuses on streamlining process documentation and training.
This makes Whale an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their SOPs and onboarding processes. However, if you’re in a large enterprise and you’re looking to connect document management to project management, go for Sharepoint.

Whale provides a specialized platform focused on process documentation and training. Key features include AI Assist for automatic SOP creation, over 100 templates, a powerful editor, and automated training flows. The standout feature is its ability to create documentation and training materials quickly and intuitively, something SharePoint lacks.
SharePoint is a comprehensive collaboration tool that supports document management, team collaboration, and workflow automation. It integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft 365 tools, offering robust document storage and sharing capabilities. However, it lacks the specialized training and process documentation features that Whale offers.
Users find Whale intuitive and easy to navigate, thanks to its user-friendly interface and comprehensive templates. According to G2 reviews, Whale scores higher in ease of use, with users praising its straightforward setup and efficient management of documentation and training content.
SharePoint, while powerful, has a steeper learning curve. Its extensive features can be overwhelming, particularly for users who need a straightforward solution for process documentation. G2 reviews indicate that users often find SharePoint complex and challenging to master.
Whale’s customer support is highly regarded, with dedicated success managers who assist with onboarding and ongoing support. Users on G2 frequently commend the personalized and prompt assistance they receive, which helps them maximize the tool’s potential.
Microsoft offers extensive support resources for SharePoint, including online documentation, forums, and direct support. However, users on G2 often mention that the support can be slow and less personalized compared to Whale.

“Next to their very competitive pricing, their support is from out of this world. We used other tools before, but we left a bit hanging in the past regarding the support piece. Stino & his team are always available whenever we have a query which is amazing!”
Jonas M., Small-Business (50 or fewer employees)
“We find Whale easy and intuitive to set up, navigate, and use, and the customer support has been AMAZING. Even though we are still onboarding—and so do not yet have our final structure in place—we can already find any process document within a few seconds (using Whale’s handy search feature).”
Verified User in Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer employees)
