Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"It saved me big time once! My car got broken into and they took my laptop with all my files. But I didn't have to worry because everything was backed up on SharePoint. It was a lifesaver!"
"It's been stable for me. I haven't encountered any issues with the sites I've developed locally within the organization as long as the license remains valid."
"We mostly used this solution for file storage and basic functions, etcetera."

Room for Improvement

"Sharepoint could improve the user interface to make it easier for everyone to navigate and use. That would be a big plus."
"The initial setup depends on company specifics. So, it's a bit complex."
"Microsoft could include more applications in this. And if more applications are included, then it can be scalable that way."

Pricing

"The pricing is fair."
