SharePoint Health Check

SharePoint support and maintenance services help ensure the sound performance of SharePoint solutions and empower users to perform their business tasks successfully.

What Is SharePoint Health Check?

Our 17-year SharePoint consulting and development practice allowed us to shape the proprietary SharePoint Health Check methodology. Its goal is to help organizations carry out thorough SharePoint performance monitoring and security audit. The methodology assesses the overall state of a SharePoint deployment and its particular components identifying flaws that affect a solution’s security, stability and performance. Our methodology covers but is not limited to:

  • SharePoint farm assessment
  • Custom applications assessment and code review
  • Load-time analysis
  • SharePoint security audit
  • Content analysis and assessment
  • User experience assessment

The Scope of SharePoint Health Check

SharePoint Farm Assessment

We carry out SharePoint farm assessment to reveal performance issues caused by the deployment’s improper architecture or incorrect setup.

  • Logical infrastructure sizing and capacity assessment
  • Assessment of thresholds and limitations of physical infrastructure
  • Farm configuration assessment
  • SQL server assessment
  • Proxy tier assessment
  • SharePoint log analysis
  • Authentication and networking assessment
  • Assessment of service accounts
  • Search configuration assessment
  • Backup and recovery assessment
Custom Application Assessment & Code Review

We provide a comprehensive analysis of the overall state of custom applications within your SharePoint solution.

  • Examining custom applications’ logs for a defined period of time
  • Analyzing all exceptions generated by custom applications
  • Reviewing custom code for redundant complexities, logic errors, and mismatches
  • Addressing potential security holes, crashes, and design flaws
  • Evaluating custom features that affect SharePoint performance:
    • Event receivers
    • Delegate controls
    • Master page functionality
    • HTTP modules/handlers/services
    • Custom authentication providers
    • Custom web parts, pages, and actions
    • Timer jobs
Load-Time Analysis

As part of SharePoint performance testing, our team evaluates your solution to reveal possible load issues.

We analyze random SharePoint pages and register their load time, inspect applied custom design and styles that affect performance, and verify behavior across major browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and others.

SharePoint Security Audit

We help you evaluate the overall protection of your SharePoint solution and ensure corporate data safety.

  • Checking SharePoint security certificates
  • Permissions audit
  • Local server security configuration analysis
  • Antivirus configuration verification
  • Authentication mechanism analysis
  • Security updates review
Content Analysis & Assessment

We define content that may affect system performance using PowerShell scripts.

  • Subsites count
  • Items count
  • Fields count
  • Resource throttling configuration

We identify oversized lists and document libraries that impact performance and provide restructuring recommendations for optimal efficiency.

User Experience Assessment

Acting as end users, our experts analyze your SharePoint solution from a usability and design perspective.

The assessment covers user journeys based on roles, evaluates ease of use and design impact, and includes mobile experience analysis for performance and responsive behavior.

The Scope of SharePoint Health Check

Usually, enterprises face several common issues with their SharePoint environments. Any of these issues can be the right reason for carrying out a SharePoint Health Check.

Poor Performance

The increasing amount of SharePoint sites, custom solutions, and content can make your solution sluggish. Neolysi conducts SharePoint performance monitoring to identify and fix performance bottlenecks.

Security Issues

Misconfigured deployments and unpatched vulnerabilities can expose sensitive data. We perform a deep SharePoint security audit to uncover and eliminate potential risks.

Low User Adoption

Both performance and security issues affect user adoption. We analyze your solution with users and stakeholders to reconfigure it for maximum engagement and usability.

High Support Costs

Recurring SharePoint issues can lead to ongoing support expenses. Our proactive optimization approach minimizes downtime and lowers overall maintenance costs.
