From my perspective, since I am a data professional and we have to keep a record of all the data as per our client's demand, SharePoint provides us a repository where we can keep all our data intact and updated.

SharePoint is better than Google Pages due to the maturity of the content I can create, the way I can store assets, and the way I can consume them.

While working with SharePoint, I observed that if the number of files is too much, the upload time, management time, and search time consume a lot of time during the initial phase.

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.
