"It would be good if they can continue working towards making documentation and editing as quick and easy as possible. It has got a lot of capability, but I don't know how to use it. I don't find some of the things that intuitive. Sometimes, it doesn't seem obvious to me how to use it, but it is like learning any new tool. You actually need to get trained on the tool to get maximum out of it."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"It should have more user-friendly customization, as it still requires developers to get engaged and build sites."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
