Microsoft ends supports for SharePoint 2010 - But there is a smarter way to continue with SharePoint
Posted :

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 which was released in 2009 and it has brought us an impressive collaboration app for enterprise-grade businesses. But now Microsoft has ended standard support for SharePoint 2010 from 13 October, 2015. This simply indicates that they are not going to give any product support and MS bug fixes. You’ll be getting just the security updates.

SharePoint 2019 Pre-Migration Check

There are several reasons why you should migrate to SharePoint 2019. It has hybrid cloud search, all the sites are in one place, it allows rapid site development, there are many PowerShell scripts and so on.

There are two types of support services that Microsoft offers with the range of its products, which are- Mainstream Support and Extended Support.

The Following Facilities included with Microsoft Mainstream Support:

  • You can request to change product design and features
  • Get all the security updates
  • It includes complimentary support with license
  • You can go for paid support with pay per incident premier and essential support
  • Get access to product specific information
  • You can claim for hardware warranty

Microsoft Extended Support

It gives you limited support facility, which includes mainly security updates, product-specific information, and paid support. It does not offer complimentary support which was included with license.
