"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"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."

"I'd like to see some improved reporting on usage."

"The dashboards should be improved."
"Atlassian Confluence could improve how information is shared outside our company. We had some negative experiences with the rights we have with our information when sharing it within Atlassian Confluence and with other teams outside the company. It's due to the limitations on the rights we have on the export capabilities. We don't have sufficient rights to do so."
"The UX is a little bit all over the place."
"It lacks ease of integration."
"There needs to be a flexible pricing model, where we can pick and choose services and customize our pricing model."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"More hints and make it more user-customizable."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"Make it more intuitive."
"The product could be improved in a lot of way. It is so frustrating to get things to work as advertised."
"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."
