We performed a comparison between Microsoft OneDrive and OpenText Extended ECM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Microsoft, Box and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."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."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"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 is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"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."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"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."
"We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help."
"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."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."
"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."
"OpenText Extended ECM's most valuable features include permissions and security models. I also like the tool's ability to add metadata and use it to categorize information."
"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."
"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"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 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 architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"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."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
