"SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible."

"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"The dashboards should be improved."
"Some macros can be technical, and they are better managed on the Confluence cloud rather than on-premises. For example, when you add an image on the cloud, you can resize it just by using the mouse. This is not the case on-premises yet. You have to write pixels of the size of the image sometimes. Some of the very old macros are still there, and some of them are technical. It can be hard for users if they are not from an IT background to understand how to use them quickly."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The search function is not great."
"The solution is not very user-friendly."
"The standard table capability is substandard and virtually unusable."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"The way Atlassian Confluence handles tickets could be improved."
"We do sell Hyland OnBase, which is probably a competitor to SharePoint and does a lot more. In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
"Make it more intuitive."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
