Records Center	Available	Available
Business Intelligence Center	Available	Available	Same functionality as the 2013 Business Intelligence site.

My Site Host	Available	Available	Same functionality as the 2013 My Site Host site.
Community Portal	Available	Not Available	SharePoint might be popular, but it has never been especially social. That's something Microsoft hopes to change with SharePoint 2013, bolstered by the company's acquisition of Yammer. New social features include the requisite newsfeed of organizational activity (pictured), the introduction of Community Sites, and other changes intended to better foster sharing and collaboration.

Sandbox Solution	Deprecated	Available	Sandbox Solutions are introduced in SP 2010 and now they are off, to encourage the usage of  Apps
Apps	Available	Not Available	1. Custom code will not be executed on server. So this can avoid, Application / Server outages. 2. Custom code will be executed in Client-Browser or may be in some other scope like IIS or Windows Azure, which is completely out of SharePoint scope. 3. Server Object Model (SOM) code is replaced by Client side object model (CSOM) / Rest Services using which Appscan communicate with Server. Authentication is done by OAuth. 4. Installing / Updating / Uninstalling of apps can be done without  affecting the SharePoint site. 5. Better usability in Tablets and Mobile devices. 6. Taking SharePoint to next level in terms of  Usability, Development, Deployment  and  Hosting(cloud). 7. Finally, everything in SharePoint 2013 is an App.
Visual Upgrade
Visual Upgrade from previous version	Deprecated (Replaced with deferred site collection upgrade)	Available	1. The visual upgrade feature is replaced with deferred site collection upgrade. The site collection upgrade process is not reversible. 2. Visual upgrade preserved only the old master pages, CSS files, and HTML files. Deferred site collection upgrade preserves much more, including SPFeature functionality.
Web Service
Imaging Web Service	Available	Available	Note: This service will be removed in next major release of SharePoint
Service Application
Excel Services - Can't edit workbooks in the browser that have external data connections	Available – with Limitation	Available	Workbooks with external data connections that use Windows authentication cannot be refreshed in the browser. Instead, you are prompted to open the workbook in the Excel client program. Workbooks that have database or Windows credentials stored either in the Secure Store Service or in the connection string can still be edited in the browser. This change applies only when Excel Web App in Office Web Apps Server is used to view workbooks, not when Excel Services in SharePoint Server 2013 is used.
Search Service
Web Analytics	Deprecated	Available	Analytics processing for SharePoint 2013 is now a component of the Search service. Reason for change: A new analytics system was required for SharePoint 2013 that included improvements in scalability and performance, and that had an infrastructure that encompasses SharePoint Online.
Features
Organization Profiles	Deprecated	Available	Organization Profiles contain detailed information about an organization such as teams, divisions, and other information that describes the organization’s hierarchy. Reason for change: SharePoint features related to identities continue to evolve around the core concepts of users and groups, and SharePoint will not be investing further in OrgID. Note: This feature will be removed in next major release of SharePoint
SharePoint Server Search Features
Modifying the search topology using a web-based interface	Available – Upgraded	Available	In 2010 can modify topology using web UI only, but here can use web UI and Windows PowerShell
Diacritic sensitivity element in the thesaurus	Available – Upgraded	Available	This element determines whether diacritical marks such as accents should be ignored or applied by the search system when expanding a query with terms from the thesaurus. In SharePoint 2013, the <diacritics_sensitive> element is not available. Instead, diacritical marks are always respected when matching query terms with terms in the thesaurus. Reason for change:  It has limited usage. The same behavior as in SharePoint Server 2010 can be achieved by adding diacritic variants in the thesaurus.
Replacement mode within the thesaurus	Deprecated	Available	Reason for change:  The feature has limited usage, and may also have unwanted side-effects for relevance.
Search Query web service	Deprecated	Available	Reason for change: The Search Query web service is deprecated because the client object model (CSOM) and a new REST-based web service are available for developing Office-wide extensibility scenarios. The CSOM exposes the same functionality as the Search Query web service, and a larger set of functionality for stand-alone client applications.
Search RSS and search from Windows	Deprecated	Available	The RSS link no longer appears on the results page. This link is replaced by the Search Alerts link. Reason for change: Most RSS readers that are available do not support claims authentication. In SharePoint 2013, claims authentication is the default authentication model. By using claims authentication, RSS readers work while the authentication cookie is cached. However, after the cookie expires, RSS readers cannot refresh their authentication, and so they stop working.
Custom word breaker dictionaries	Available – Limited	Available	In SharePoint 2013, you can only create one language-independent dictionary. In SharePoint Server 2010, you can create language-specific custom dictionaries (one dictionary for each language) to edit the word breaker behaviour of enterprise search. Reason for change: The search processing framework for SharePoint 2013 is new, and the way the word breakers operate has changed.
Configuration of stemming in the registry	Available – Limited	Available	In SharePoint Server 2010, you can turn stemming on or off, or you can replace it with a third-party stemmer by changing the registry In SharePoint 2013. Modifying stemming entries in the registry has no effect during search and you cannot use a third-party stemmer.
SharePoint Search SQL syntax	Available – Limited	Available	In SharePoint Server 2010, you could construct complex search queries by using SQL syntax SharePoint 2013 supports FAST Query Language (FQL) syntax and Keyword Query Language (KQL) syntax for custom search solutions. You cannot use SQL syntax in custom search solutions. This is because Query web service is deprecated.
Shallow search refiners	Available – Limited	Available	SharePoint Server Search in Office 2010 supported shallow search refiners. FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint supports shallow refiners and deep refiners. In SharePoint 2013, only deep search refiners are supported.
Fast Search Server Features
FAST Search database connector	Deprecated	Available	Reason for change: The connector framework for SharePoint 2013 is combined with the BCS framework and the Business Data Catalog connectors.
FAST Search Lotus Notes connector	Deprecated	Available	Reason for change: The connector framework for SharePoint 2013 is combined with the BCS framework and the Business Data Catalog connectors.
FAST Search web crawler	Deprecated	Available	Reason for change: The crawler capabilities are merged into one crawler implementation for consistency and ease of use.
Find similar results	Deprecated	Available
FAST Query Language (FQL) deprecated features	Available – Aligned with KQL syntax	Available	FQL operator listed below are deprecated in SharePoint 2013   Any, Rank, XRank, String and Implicit typing of numeric data types.
URL Query syntax	Available – Limited	Available	In SharePoint 2013, the entire URL is tokenized as one word. This includes special characters such as “/”, “_” and “-”.
Specific search scope filters	Available – Upgraded	Available	Reason for Change: The search scope functionality was replaced by a more powerful functionality for result sources.
Anti-phrasing	Available – Upgraded	Available	In SharePoint 2013, such phrases are not removed from the query. Instead, all query terms are evaluated when you search the index.
Offensive content filtering	Deprecated	Available	Limited Usage
Substring search	Deprecated	Available	Reason for change: The feature has limited usage, and has very extensive hard disk requirements for the index.
Person names and location extractions	Deprecated	Available	Reason for change: This feature has limited usage and usually requires extensive customization. In most cases, we recommend that you use customer-specific dictionaries.
Number of custom entity extractors	Available – Limited	Available	In SharePoint 2013, the number of custom entity extractors that you can define is limited to 12.
Supported document formats	Available – Upgraded	Available	Reason for change: The file formats for indexing are older formats and are no longer supported In SharePoint 2013, the set of supported formats that are enabled by default is extended, and the quality of document parsing for these formats has improved.
Content processing extensibility	Available – Upgraded	Available	SharePoint 2013 provides a new web service interface for content processing extensibility. Reason for change: The content processing architecture of search has changed to improve performance and flexibility.
Custom XML item processing	Deprecated	Available
Adding a test item to the index	Deprecated	Available	DocPush is a test and diagnostic command-line tool that submits test documents to the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint index. A similar command-line tool is not available in SharePoint 2013. Reason for change: The administration and diagnostics of feeding and crawling has changed in SharePoint 2013.

Note:  The next major release of SharePoint will not support any deprecated templates, so in order to retain data it must be migrated to SharePoint 2013 templates.
