Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured
SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

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."
"This is a very complete and powerful solution."
"Competitors are solidly in the market who offer better workflow, security, governance and collaboration."
"Ease of use, ease of setup, ease of administration, ease of configuration, ease of customization... what's not to like?"
"It's very stable; I call it a multifunctional document system because you can do a lot of things with it, and it's just incredible how much we have been able to automate a few steps that people had to do thanks to the integration with other Office products."
"Otherwise, this is an amazing option."
"It has improved our organization by speeding up document sharing."
"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."
"This product has allowed us to coordinate the efforts of individual groups, as well as different groups that need to interact for specific projects/processes."
"SharePoint has made things easier with the increased functionality for building the portals, microsites, and total integration with Microsoft categories."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"We would like to see more features for RPA and AI."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"Support is deficient. We depend on local vendors to get access to support and most of the issues we presented took more time to resolve that we wanted."
"It should have a lighter interface."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
"Synchronization of files in OneDrive can take some time which can ‘annoy’ some users."
"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."
"Search can be improved a lot because we are always trying to compare it with Google Search. Beyond that, it would be helpful to tag the documents."
"There are some limitations on storage."
