"The search feature is valuable."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."

"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"The company also needs to make sure that their policies are dictating how information is stored and used, instead of letting SharePoint take control."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
