"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"Its functionality is enormous."

"Ability to store files of any type."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."

"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."
"When we have a project that we don't want to share with everybody but want people to know that it exists, there is no way to do this in Confluence. When a project is not shared, people cannot see that it exits."

"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
