"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."

"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
