SharePoint Pros
A Seamless Office 365 Intranet
SharePoint is a no-brainer choice for organizations with extensive existing or planned Microsoft infrastructure, as you'll likely be able to access and use already.
Integrated Document Management
Due to it's nature, SharePoint is most suited to creating and managing document libraries, with version control, permission and sharing settings to ensure everything stays accurate.
Automated Workflows
For content managers, routine content tasks like approvals, sharing and other processes can be automated at scale to improve efficiency.
Scalability
As a Microsoft platform, SharePoint can handle large-scale projects as well as it does small departmental or team projects, so you can use at whichever scale makes sense.
SharePoint Cons
Complex
Setting up and maintaining SharePoint can be challenging for non-technical users, with the need for specialized IT or consultative support to effectively design and customize to your internal brand.
Training
Even the most tech-savvy employees will need training to get the most out of SharePoint, especially if you've customized your platform, which is a time and resource drain.
Cost
SharePoint licensing, especially for larger organizations can be costly, and with ongoing maintenance, customization, hosting, storage, per-user cloud subscriptions factored in, costs can quickly spiral.
Limited
Search functionality for SharePoint isn't always intuitive or accurate, often requiring users to know exactly what they're looking for before searching. As mentioned also, customization options are limited so your intranet can end up looking basic, which lowers employee adoption rates.
