We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is a very complete and powerful solution."
"What I like about SharePoint is that they keep up with a lot of updates, and they bring out new features. I also like that the system is integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite of apps."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
"Staff training is reduced because learning basic SharePoint is not as complicated as an EDRMS."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"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."

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."

"The navigation is confusing."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
"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."
