"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."

"The most valuable features are the Integrations, web site, and search."
"It should be more affordable."
"There are sometimes problems with incompatibility issues with other types of software."
"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 a connection between their planner board, and a project for the web would be better."
"It would be ideal if the product offered more integration capabilities with non-Microsoft solutions."
"Microsoft needs to enhance its part in service management. I believe they have a product called Orchestrator, it does not get the same benefits and functionality as the rest of the solutions such as Dynamics or Office 365. They can improve by providing more integration with other solutions to cover the full business spectrum of needs, this would be a great benefit."
"Occasionally, it does go down, however, for the most part, it's fine."
"Sometimes, it tries to be a little bit too clever in preempting things that you want to do. The settings can be pretty complicated. It has the desktop version and the cloud version. You can have settings in the cloud version that are impacting your desktop version, but you don't know because you can't see the settings like rules and other things. So, they need to think about the experience. It should be the same if you log in to the cloud or if you log in via desktop."
"Needs improvement on the user interface."
"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."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"SharePoint’s scalability could be improved."
"There's a challenge with desktop applications synchronizing with online documents in real-time. If someone is working on a document in the desktop version of Excel, for example, and someone else is editing the same document online, the changes won't sync immediately. That's the only real challenge we've encountered."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."
"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases."
"Using SharePoint is difficult."
