"The solution is easy to install."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."

"The plugins should be more affordable."

"Social area and capabilities need improvement."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"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."
"SharePoint Online could improve the user interface and when modifying any of the user interfaces can be challenging. Additionally, there are challenges with the detail in the analytics user interface and the overall customization could improve."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"The management of the product/back-end is complex."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"You still need a bit of expertise to add branding."
