I’ve worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

The reason is mainly money. SharePoint is cheap and a lot of companies already pay for it even if they don’t use it.
SharePoint is also useful because it integrates seamlessly with teams.
It should be noted that SharePoint is designed for documents and not files.
You should think twice if you are replacing a file share with a SharePoint site because sometimes it will work terribly. CAD files for example is a terrible idea to put on a SharePoint site.
why particularly CAD files? trying to understand why this is a bad idea as it appears that is where we are going
This thread explains it better than I could: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/15q6hq4/psa_do_not_host_autocad_files_in_sharepoint/
SharePoint apparently has some kind of AutoCAD integration so it might work for you, but watch out. And most importantly don’t just import the entire FileShare regardless of what it contains to a single SharePoint site.
Here where I work we just sync with the user PC, like OneDrive, and the user can’t tell the difference. For them it is just another folder in the Explorer. Some only access through Teams…
OneDrive and SharePoint are very similar in functionality. (In fact every personal OneDrive’s is a SharePoint site) But SharePoint is intended to share files and other information while OneDrive is intended to be personal (with some limited sharing functionality).
Working with other colleagues and having all their files distributed on multiple OneDrive’s is very inconvenient, while having a SharePoint is not.
