Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"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."
"It helps you keep organized."
"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."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"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."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."
"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."
"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."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"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."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"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."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"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."
"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."
"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."
