"It is definitely user-friendly, and I like the flexibility."
"Recording is a major feature for us. Dictation is huge. I use that on client calls when the client is speaking."
"It's fast."
"The integration between the applications is the most valuable. I can share things using my phone, computer, and OneDrive. It is very stable and fast. It is also user-friendly and scalable."
"t is easy to use and the features are good."
"I feel the solution to be scalable."
"The implementation and configuring of the resolution are very easy in the online version."
"The collaboration, the ability for multiple users to work on a single document."
"The level of stability is good."
"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."
"The support from Microsoft is very quick and they are very proactive."
"The most valuable feature is the "Alert Me", which provides the ability to set an alert when content is either added or changed and that the alerts can be either real-time or aggregated for the day or the week."
"The solution's most valuable features is its document management. It allows sharing with external users and integrates well with Office apps and Microsoft Flow."
"It is a decent tool for collaboration, especially if you are already using other Office products."
"The stability could be improved."
"The dashboard is an area of improvement."
"The ability to manage the updates a little better would be helpful. Sometimes end-users will get a prompt in the middle of the day that they have to update. When there's a new update, then their system automatically starts to reboot, which can be ill-timed. Having a little more control over that would probably be welcome. Notices in regards to updates and being able to manage the timing around them or to be able to do it at off-times would be helpful."
"The initial setup is slightly complex."
"I would like to see a connection between their planner board, and a project for the web would be better."
"It's still not fully consistent among all the platforms running on Windows and IOS. It's getting better and better, but there's still a lot of consolidation or integration work to be done."
"I would like to see cheaper licensing fees."
"They should offer better support for iOS devices and more regular updates for iOS, as it's working pretty well for Microsoft solutions and for Windows systems, yet it does not work quite as well for iOS."
"The GUI is outdated."
"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."
"The ability to preview files in different formats should be expanded to include formats such as embedded postscript (EPS), AutoCAD, and Adobe Acrobat PDF."
"The areas around security, such as protection, need to be included."
"The solution is like a CRM, so the initial setup is complex. It takes a few days to deploy the solution and the length of time depends on how large the company's topology is and what the client's demands are."
"The user interface needs improvement because there is a lot of stuff in there. I use five to eight navigation buttons. It should be more user-friendly. Frequently used menu items should be arranged in a proper way. That would be helpful."
"Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself. More complex issues make it very tough to find someone that can help you."
"Workflows could be simplified."
