Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I can store data and share it with people.""The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution.""It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product.""I like that it's easy to use. I'm satisfied with the speed, stability, and availability.""Even if you lose your laptop or device, your data will still be accessible on Google Drive Enterprise. Therefore, keeping your files on the tool is a safe option. You can access it from any device if you have a Gmail account. When you create a Gmail account, you automatically get access to free Google resources, including 15 GB of Google Drive Enterprise storage, which is shared across all Google products.""I can check emails from anywhere, and use the applications wherever I am.""The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me.""Offers good storage."

"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping.""We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help.""It's a very good solution.""Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options.""The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document.""The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM.""The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance.""Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."

Cons
"In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult.""Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.""It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added.""I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments.""The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price.""The free storage amount should improve in Google Drive Enterprise. They only provide a small amount of storage.""The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit.""You cannot upload multiple files with the same name to Google Drive. I'm not sure how relevant it is for other users, but I have multiple files with the same name that I'm unable to upload to a single folder."

More Google Drive Enterprise Cons →

"Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important.""A dashboard with information would be nice to see.""We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great.""The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved.""The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge.""We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten.""The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly.""When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
