What do you like most about the product or service?

You have full control of all the data. Access control can be designed as per need. Document versioning is one of the best features. You can have multiple site collections, and you can also publish sites over the Internet. Cross-site publishing is another feature that we use which comes in handy where you have an author site and a few publishing sites. Since its integrated with Active Directory, you can also configure the user profile service, so all users have their own profile page.

If you're using and third-party integrations then it might become more complex, and troubleshooting may require multiple support teams to be on the same page. It might be an expensive solution for smaller companies.
