Customization is one of the best parts of it. The data collection platform has value.

Valuable Features

"It saved me big time once! My car got broken into and they took my laptop with all my files. But I didn't have to worry because everything was backed up on SharePoint. It was a lifesaver!"
"It's been stable for me. I haven't encountered any issues with the sites I've developed locally within the organization as long as the license remains valid."

Room for Improvement
