Independent Review: Replacing SharePoint Alerts Before Microsoft’s Retirement Deadline

By Matt DiPaquale, Bamboo Solutions

As Microsoft moves forward with the retirement of SharePoint Alerts, organizations are evaluating their options for maintaining critical notifications and business processes. To help navigate the available alternatives, Microsoft MVP Dougie Wood has published an independent review that examines the leading approaches available today.

In his video, “SharePoint is DELETING this feature (Set up new alerts now!)”, Dougie walks through the strengths and limitations of three primary options:

Power Automate – Microsoft’s workflow platform, offering extensive customization but often requiring significant setup, ongoing maintenance, and licensing considerations.
SharePoint Rules – A simple built-in option for basic notification scenarios, but with limited flexibility compared to traditional SharePoint Alerts.
Alert Plus by Bamboo Solutions – A purpose-built solution designed to recreate and enhance the familiar SharePoint Alert experience while adding enterprise features, centralized administration, and migration capabilities.

By Rob Manfredi, President, Bamboo Solutions

Modern SharePoint portals often struggle with the same problem: too much content competing for space on a single page. As web parts multiply, pages become long, cluttered, and difficult for users to navigate. Important information gets buried, and the user experience suffers.

Enter Tabify.

Tabify transforms crowded SharePoint pages into clean, organized experiences by allowing you to structure web part content into intuitive tabbed layouts. Whether you need horizontal or vertical tabs, Tabify makes it easy to present large amounts of information in a way that users can quickly scan and access.

In this webinar, we’ll showcase the latest innovations in the newly rebuilt SPFx-based Tabify, including:

Horizontal or vertical tab layouts to organize content your way
Direct tab linking with unique URLs so other pages can open specific tabs instantly
Multiple web parts per tab arranged in flexible multi-column layouts
Faster performance and modern SharePoint compatibility
A streamlined way to transform complex pages into clean, user-friendly portals

If your SharePoint pages feel cluttered, difficult to navigate, or overwhelming for users, Tabify is the solution.
