We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

More Amazon WorkDocs Pros →

"For me, the most valuable feature is basically saving and sharing documents with other people outside, having something to be co-shared. When documents are large in size, it is easier to send them via email.""The solution secures the data well.""The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution.""It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document.""I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location.""The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet is the most valuable.""The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good.""The performance of this solution is fast because it is hosted by Google."

Cons
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

More Amazon WorkDocs Cons →

"The conversion of Microsoft Office documents into Google documents could be improved.""The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document.""I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive.""The product lacks in the area of documentation.""Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents.""Lacks scalability and security.""The thing I would change is the pricing. We are a small company, and we have to pay the price for the full Enterprise version because we use some features that are only available on top-tier subscriptions."
