Quotes from Members

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."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"It is very stable."
"SharePoint's collaborative features are valuable as they enable productivity by allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."
"The technical support from Microsoft for SharePoint is often slow and rated a three out of ten."
"Microsoft support could be better, especially for enterprise troubleshooting. They require a lot of logs and often rely on online support, which does not meet customer expectations."
"It is too heavy. MS should not have paid foreign coders dollars per each row of code. They wasted the stability and reliability in the end."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly for technical and business people."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
