Sharepoint in real life seems to be a very complex product with few people actually knowing it. Out of a company of 10,000 people we probably have 5 guys actually knows anything about sharepoint, Why is it so obscure?
Because its so hard to use that nobody can really explain it. Is it a share drive in the cloud? Not really, but it can kind of do that. Is it an application platform like Salesforce? Kind of. Is it a project management system? It sure can be.
On top of the confusion, often times the only time a end user sees the word "SharePoint" is when their Office document got lost because OneDrive pooped out and it's SharePoint underneath, so then it starts whining. The only time I've seen SharePoint work well at all is at a company that kept teams of SharePoint developers on staff, and even then we still begged for a share drive somewhere (have you ever tried to store keepass vaults in SharePoint? it's a magical experience).
