Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL
We use SharePoint Online. We use it primarily as a file storage system. We migrated our network shares located on-prem to SharePoint Online, so therefore, that is why we use SharePoint Online primarily as a file storage system. Also, we use OneDrive, which relies on SharePoint in the backend.
SharePoint Online gave us more storage space and was cheaper than expanding on-prem storage.
