"Our staff found it simpler, as they did not have to work within a classification system."
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"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."

"My only issue with this solution is the cost, which should be improved."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"I would like a simpler, more cost-effective solution for connecting data sources with workflows and BI tools, or data mining tools."
"Improve the user-friendliness."
"Integration needs to be more straightforward, particularly with Azure. SharePoint also needs a more comprehensive introductory course for users."

"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
"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."
