Secure collaboration has improved as I create and host protected web assets for my team
It is a little difficult to name the areas for improvements in SharePoint because I don't use it all that much. I know I can host pages on it and feel that the CMS platform, which helps create those pages, can be improved. The interface is not all that great, but other than that, there's not much to say because it's a pretty simple tool and I don't have high expectations for it to improve. The main issue bothering me today is the Content Management System, which is basically the interface through which I can create the landing page. The design and the way to incorporate things could be better because there are better content management platforms available right now. Even newer platforms like WordPress are better, so I think SharePoint can improve on that.

It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

"It keeps our company organized and everything is in one place."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."

"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."

"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."
"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."
"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"
"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."
"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."

Cons

"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
