SharePoint Server 2013 brings strong enhancements to its 2010 predecessor. Customer feedback and a growing social world have influenced changes to development, social, search and management, making upgrading to SharePoint 2013 an attractive possibility.

* Please note that while SharePoint 2013 supports Sandbox solutions, the new app model is highly recommended as Sandboxed solutions are deprecated in SharePoint 2013. The general recommendation is to upgrade your Sandboxed solutions to Apps since they will be completely removed in the next version of SharePoint.
