"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Communication Site."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are its collaboration capabilities, its communications site and the innovation within the product itself."
"This solution has provided us with a collaborative workspace to allow everyone to work together and be on the same page."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."
"Document management and records management features are the most valuable."
"It is a decent tool for collaboration, especially if you are already using other Office products."
"The support from Microsoft is very quick and they are very proactive."
"It's a very robust product."
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture."
"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."
"The solution is like a CRM, so the initial setup is complex. It takes a few days to deploy the solution and the length of time depends on how large the company's topology is and what the client's demands are."
"The permission management features need improvement."
"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
"The product is behind in development and lacks some features."
"The user interface needs improvement because there is a lot of stuff in there. I use five to eight navigation buttons. It should be more user-friendly. Frequently used menu items should be arranged in a proper way. That would be helpful."
"Workflows could be simplified."
