"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"It improved transparency around work products."

"Metadata, auto class, disposition log, and legal hold."
"The room for improvement is in the area of integrations. They need to establish more integrations, especially with Office 365 and Outlook."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"Like all cloud platforms, there are always areas of improvement around sync to local devices."
"If there was a plugin that added some sort of toolbar in Office, that would be great."

"They could integrate better with other platforms."
"One thing that Box would benefit from is a records management component."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"The initial setup was very complex."
