"The web/mobile/portal integration was one of the features that we found most valuable, primarily because it reduced our development time."

"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."

In our own organization, we haven't had a need for it, but certainly, for our customers, we are finding that to be a better fit. In terms of the technical reasons for that, I'm not involved much on that side, so I can't give specifics, but there is certainly room for them to improve or add on certain features that clearly are not available in SharePoint, but they are available in Hyland OnBase."
