Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Wordpress, Adobe and others in Web Content Management."The look and feel and the user interface are great."
"Manageability is very good and probably the most valuable part of a tool of this type. There is a little more of a learning curve than you have with a simple tool, but a business user can learn to manage the system as an administrator very easily."
"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."
"The integration capabilities of the product are super easy to use."
"We chose Liferay because it is open-source and that we can make any number of users apply, register into the system and use the system, as opposed to other solutions where the cost is based on user licenses. This is one of the most attractive features."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"I think that it could be interesting to expand the eCommerce capabilities to the B2C sector."
"The solution is easy to install."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"The security feature is valuable."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"Its configuration management ability is critical for document-based systems."
"It's stable. It's very widely used by companies. Also, the knowledge of the product has improved over the years, and by other companies that support it or are Microsoft SharePoint partners. So if there are problems, there's always a user or company that knows the information or can help you; even with very uncommon problems."

"Needs improvement on the user interface."

"It will fully use your system resources."

"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."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
"Replication needs improvement."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
