Is SharePoint still relevant in 2017? My company uses it as a

SharePoint admin here, it only ''works'' if the entire company is using it and people keep using it, if it slips away it will become abandoned with lightning speed.
Also you need a good admin that knows what the possibilities of SP are and is able to integrate them perfectly.

This is correct. It requires staff with deep knowledge of the product and a workplace that is willing to commit to it.

Most places use it as a glorified file server. The problem is that SharePoint was designed with the technology and workplace sensibilities of the early to mid 2000s and their core philosophy has not changed since. They're making an effort to rebuild the product in SharePoint online but it's going to take a while. Compare administrating and using Google Docs and SharePoint and you may better understand what I mean.

The place i work at uses it for access requests, knowledge/feature docs, and code manifests for production. Could be worse I guess. Kinda sucks that most of the stuff only works in I thought.

You'll probably end up doing what my work is doing, accept that it is something you'll never be rid of now and so you push it onto Azure so that every time Microsoft releases a patch that fucks up the Sharepoint server it is their fucking problem.
