Where Does SharePoint Fall Short?

Mauro Cardarelli, author of "Essential SharePoint 2007 -Delivering High Impact Collaboration", tackles the question "Where does SharePoint fall short?"

The answer, according to Mauro, is in security management.

The benefit of an open system like SharePoint is there is little differentiation betwen users and content producers. As a result, people can use it right away with little training.

The problem is when users are asked to manage security. And, according to Mauro, the security management interface is "confusing and cumbersome." As a result, it's highly likely some content can be accessed by the wrong audience. ControlPoint is designed to address this issue, giving administrators the tools to manage permissions effectively.
