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."

"Replication needs improvement."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"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."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
