"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"Quantity and variety of partners with solution development ability on the platform."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"The security feature is valuable."
"It has made us faster and more efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily build intranet sites for communicating within teams, storing documentation, product information, pricing policies, updates on product infrastructure, and other related news."
"SharePoint enabled the staff to share documents and work on a document simultaneously."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"They can improve the table feature of Confluence. It is currently not adequate."
"The search function is not great."

"The one way in which this solution could be improved is by offering better design and UI."
"There is no concept of peer review or a draft mode - whatever you write is live."
"Atlassian should rethink its withdrawal of the self-hosted version of the product. They only offer cloud-based service or the "datacenter-edition", which is quite expensive for small companies and private users."
"I have a couple of different pipelines that I work with. However, I'd like to see them displayed differently on the same dashboard. So, I would like to have a unified dashboard to view the different pipelines."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
