"Its functionality is enormous."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."

This is not the case on-premises yet. You have to write pixels of the size of the image sometimes. Some of the very old macros are still there, and some of them are technical. It can be hard for users if they are not from an IT background to understand how to use them quickly."
"Make it more intuitive."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
