Cons
"Sales and service need to be more consistent.""The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."

More Mobius Content Services Platform Cons →

"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents.""We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information.""Allow more functionalities for the on-premise version. Do not force the move of content to a non-private cloud.""During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty.""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.""Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases.""I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities.""It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
