Pros

"It is good for big projects."
"You can build websites on it very quickly."
"The feature I find most valuable is that Drupal is a framework and not only a CMS."
"We use a part of the solution called Acquia. The personalization portion of this is the most valuable aspect fo the solution."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"The ability to have version control and co-editing is vital to our workflows."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"Information is now available instantly to managers on all devices."
"The access control is definitely a good feature. We also appreciate the improvements they've made to the online applications, where multiple users can work on the same documents simultaneously. Everything syncs automatically."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
 

Cons

"Digital experience features like target, segmentation, and campaign management have a long way to go."
"The user experience in designing layouts should be much easier or much more helpful."
"I think the support needs to improve, as well as the integration with tracking and analytics systems."
"It is a little bit simplified."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"There are some limitations on storage."
"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."
"The integration with Outlook could be improved."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"During uptime under our network, it is hard to find info when content is hefty."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"The platform has medium pricing."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The data classification and search elements are cheap."
"The pricing works for us."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
