Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint

MS SharePoint is used across the entire organization, with MS Teams primarily as the front-end product. It helps address our company's collaboration problem.
  • SharePoint is great at serving as a document library for your teams/organizations.
  • It has particularly good search features.
  • It does a good job of keeping document history, using it's version control features.
  • It's fairly easy to learn how to develop SharePoint pages/sites with little to know prior knowledge of the tool.
  • It needs to be properly set up and configured. Additionally, it requires constant adjustments for it to give the best results to the end-users viewing the content.
  • The mobile application could use much further maturing. Often times, this maps back to my first point.
  • Everything in SharePoint depends on site columns and content types. There seems to be no way around this. Either accept it or pick another collaboration tool.
  • Positive impact - Even though we have failed in document lifecycle management, there's still time for improvement. Moving to O365 and sunsetting our dedicated servers will help with the cleanup process, and hopefully, get us back on track.
Teams is the new front end for SharePoint. So far, I like the look, feel and adaptability of it better. As for Confluence, I have never been a fan of it's searching capabilities. Additionally, we've encountered users having a hard time being aware of other "spaces" within the knowledge base, regardless of the current access level.
It can be a useful tool, but allowing too many users to create content can cause things to get out of control. However, allow too few users to create content, and user adoption will likely never take off.
