Microsoft Office SharePoint Server pros and cons

The support from Microsoft is very quick and they are very proactive.

Document management and records management features are the most valuable.

It is a decent tool for collaboration, especially if you are already using other Office products.

The collaboration, the ability for multiple users to work on a single document.

I would like to see the integration with Teams reinforced.

It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture.

The GUI is outdated.

The product is behind in development and lacks some features.

The areas around security, such as protection, need to be included.
