Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"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."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"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."
"Ability to share documents."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"OneDrive and SharePoint provide a secure, fully auditable way of storing information."
"The product makes it easy to manage lists, forms, searching, and security. One of the most valuable features is its integration with Active Directory."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration and sharing."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"This solution has helped us with the categorization, organization, management, discovery, and delivery of program and project related information."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"It facilitates collaboration and the ability to create custom workflows."
"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 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."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"It should have a Google-caliber search ability and a model-based GUI."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"Annoyingly, many new Office 365 apps always end up being only US locale for the first year of their life. Microsoft needs to realise that most of their customers are not in the USA."
"The product must provide more automation."
"The workflow engine cannot support the business needs."
"Emails stored now do not display metadata in native format."
"I understand that some functions are lost when you store the information in a file system, so maybe that's a way SharePoint can improve."
