Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."
"Being able to tag metadata on documents and being able to have different workspaces in there for our documents is valuable. We do loan documents, and different types of documents have different types of retentions. We are able to categorize based on that, and we are able to do tag searching to find what we are looking for."
"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 tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."
"It's a very good solution."
"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the user interface."
"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."
"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."
