Used by our agile teams instead of email to track impediments.
Stream activity could be better organized. Activities or content you are following will either be emailed to you or you follow in a stream.

Our end users find great value in building team workspaces to collaborate not only with internal employees, but with third-party consultants and customers as required.
Having one centralized collaboration space to bring all employees together has been quite beneficial for our organization as we have 120+ remote locations in rural areas with slower internet connections. This allows head office and regional office users to share documents with those remote users as shared network drives are not an option.
