Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."File syncing is the most valuable feature. I use it every day to sync files across to the cloud."
"The solution is very fast and simple. If I want to share a file I can put it on the cloud or on-premise. It's user-friendly."
"The solution provides great performance."
"A valuable feature is that it's useful for exchanging large files and documents. I'm happy with it."
"Dropbox is easy to set up as it doesn't require any installation, just a download."
"The scalability is great for us."
"We don't really use the collaboration features because we have only a small organization. Dropbox is valuable having the hard drive space available, and the access to be able to upload and access the content."
"Offers great flexibility."
"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."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."
"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."
"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."
"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."
"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."
"Dropbox could be improved by reducing the storage price."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"The solution could be a bit less expensive."
"Dropbox, like many file sharing tools, needs to synch to a local hard drive. That is a bit difficult with 5TB Dropbox content."
"I think the product's interface is an area of concern since it has been changed for a long time and can be considered for improvement."
"The complex initial setup phase of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more storage included and more lessons on how to optimize it."
"I would like to be able to unarchive my files online."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important."
"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."
"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."
"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."
"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."
