Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL

Our company uses SharePoint across the whole department for a number of different things. Some departments (and even smaller teams within the department) utilize SharePoint for specific reasons. We use it as a way to shared documents for teams, we use it to organize certain projects, we even use it to to have users see their company stock options. It's a flexible tool and has served us well.
  • It's good resource to store documentation for specific projects.
  • It's a good tool to allow teams to stay organized.
  • It can serve as a file server in some ways.
  • We used to utilize it as a knowledge base, but we've moved away to other tools that execute this functionality better.
  • We also used to use SharePoint as a technology wiki, which would allow our employees to quickly find documentation and edit/update obsolete documentation, but we've found that the ServiceNow platform works better since its tightly integrated with out ticketing system.
  • We store all of our SharePoint servers on site. A hosted platform may save us some money.
It's a diverse tool that allows you to do multiple things. However, some other products provide the same features in a more intuitive way. It's good versatile tool, but because of its versatility, it can be a little cumbersome trying to get it to do exactly what you want it to do.
It's great when you need to have a place where multiple people can log in to get the information they need.
