Pros
"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Pros →

"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.""It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365.""It was extremely easy to setup.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it.""Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy.""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 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.""The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."

Cons
"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."

More BlackBerry Workspaces Cons →

"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice.""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.""Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support.""The user interface could be a little more intuitive.""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.""The technical support is really very bad.""If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
