Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, OpenText, Box and others in Enterprise Content Management."The product allows engineering teams and developers to introduce new things in a seamless and easy way."
"I like the ease of use, sections, and calendar."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the searching elements of the metadata."
"Document repository."
"It helps you keep organized."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"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 is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"I think the presentation layer could be improved - currently, it's too complex, and there are too many features cluttered all over the screen."
"Alfresco has a very steep learning curve, and unfortunately, during the learning process, it's very easy to make errors, which often are unforgiving."
"I would like them to consider document capture functionality."
"Metadata, auto class, disposition log, and legal hold."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"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."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
