Sharepoint are great for bigger companies with over at least a thousand employees. It requires more resources such as: Windows Server and Microsoft products. Sharepoint has a lot more IT support from the company compared to Wordpress, I would feel more secured using Sharepoint and that is if I need it. Sharepoint also has a lot better features then Wordpress such as:activity tracking, chat, custom forums. third party integration and more. 

Wordpress work well for smaller companies, it does not provide the same  IT support that Sharepoint does although it doesn't require a lot of resources. Wordpress is free and is great for people who want to blog or/and for people who run smaller companies who do not have a large budget. 

I personally would choose Sharepoint if I could but Wordpress is more effective for me.

Sharepoint: Seems to be much more of a larger cloud sharing platform. I think the emphasis is on more of a corporation? It is a microsoft product, so there would be more tech support if you needed it. Cross platform, working on computers and there are phone applications. Is primarily sold as a document management and storage system, but the product is highly configurable and usage varies between organizations.

Wordpress: It is a free open source content manager that can create databases. It stores data/gets data at request. It uses MySQL and is also opensource. Used more for blogging/home use. Says its built in no geek speak, guess meaning that it is very easy to use for everyone. Apparently fortune 500 companies use Wordpress.

Kinda seems like Sharepoint could be easier since it is a Microsoft product but Wordpress is open source so it could also be a bit more easier/have more flexibility as well.
