I LOVE that it is a one stop shop for all work related documents and the fact that it is so easy to use. The search feature is the best.

Search is a pain. The more questions are asked in Q&A, the more difficult it becomes to find what you want, because it seems like questions are prioritized over stable doc pages. Search seems to default to "or" so searching for "product feature" will show...

Collaboration is simple and intuitive. The software is fairly low maintenance and the support has been very helpful. Their search is also one of the best in the industry.

The UI is a little clunky. A lot of times, we aren't sure where a link or document is posted, what "space" it is in. There are a lot of seemingly unnecessary spaces, places, pages, etc. I would prefer a cleaner, simpler design
