SharePoint is the document management layer of Microsoft 365 and is usually already licensed wherever Microsoft 365 is deployed, which makes it the default choice by economics as much as capability. Document libraries support metadata columns, content types, versioning, check-in and check-out, and retention labels driven by Microsoft Purview.
It doubles as an intranet platform with pages, news and portals, integrates directly into Teams as the file store behind every channel, and supports co-authoring in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Power Automate handles approval routing and Power Apps builds forms over library content. Governance is powerful but demands deliberate information architecture.
Best suited to: organisations on Microsoft 365 that want document control, retention policy and intranet publishing without buying a separate system.
