## What the models said for it

- "For most companies on a tight budget, Pebb (free tier) or Microsoft SharePoint/Teams (if you already use Microsoft 365) offer the best value-to-cost ratio." (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Internal communications)
- "Start with SharePoint or Google Sites. It costs $0 extra and aligns with security protocols" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Internal communications)
- "SharePoint is often the best value, because it's included in many Microsoft plans" (GPT-5.4 mini, Internal communications)
- "If you're heavily invested in Microsoft 365 → SharePoint is the natural choice" (Kimi K2, Internal communications)

## And against it

- "SharePoint if you need a simple, low-maintenance intranet" (Perplexity Sonar, Internal communications)
- "Great for document management but frustrating as a full intranet—90% of projects reportedly underperform without heavy customization" (Grok 4.1 Fast, Internal communications)
- "Out of the box, SharePoint is a document repository, not an intranet... Who should avoid it: Organizations with small HR/IT teams" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Internal communications)
- "SharePoint is not a standalone "intranet platform" in the traditional sense... It requires significant IT resources to customize" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Internal communications)
