I can confirm that, having led a SPS deployment here at ASHA. It is
great for creating private team spaces but is somewhat awkward if your
goal is to create a more transparent organization via intranet activity.


Also, SPS is all about the Office document. It is very hard to manage
any significant amount of HTML content in the system without a lot of
tweaking and twisting. The changing navigation systems between team
spaces and the portal level are also awkward.

The alert system is really great though, especially for search alerts.
My favorite is a search alert on my last name so that I get a heads up
whenever a document with my name in it is published. That is very handy
in a decentralized organization such as ours.
