"The solution is scalable."
"It's a very robust product."
"This solution has provided us with a collaborative workspace to allow everyone to work together and be on the same page."
"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."
"The solution's most valuable features is its document management. It allows sharing with external users and integrates well with Office apps and Microsoft Flow."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very usable. I can navigate it, I can have a media call, I can have a call with my project team, so we can chat with every team kind of like WhatsApp. Any time there are projects or other things, we can chat in a secure way. It's automation-specific secure."
"The most valuable feature is the "Alert Me", which provides the ability to set an alert when content is either added or changed and that the alerts can be either real-time or aggregated for the day or the week."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Communication Site."
"DLP features are lacking and required because, especially with everyone working from home, security is now paramount when the data is on BYOD devices."
"Everything they have should be integrated into one item."
"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."
"The user interface is not very intuitive."
"They should integrate the solution with more email services."
"The configuration on the mobile devices is a little clunky, in terms of setting up the application."
"There are sometimes scalability issues after updates."
"Some of our customers are facing issues if they've deployed in hybrid mode."
"The areas around security, such as protection, need to be included."
"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."
"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."
"The search feature needs improvement. I can never find the information I need when I use it."
"The solution needs to enable better sharing capabilities between users and external users. Several users also have problems with linking their emails to their Microsoft account."
"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
"The product is behind in development and lacks some features."
"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
