Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It helps you keep organized."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"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)."
"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."
"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."
"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."
"It is very stable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The search feature is valuable."
"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."
"The most valuable features of SharePoint Online are content management, document management, and approval processes. Additionally, there are a number of features that provide integration with multiple Office services and external services."
"It allows for simultaneous users to be on it."
"Removed the need of paper storage and people flow into the office."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"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 user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"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."
"We would like more security features, like automating."
"Replication needs improvement."
"It has worked very well for me. It seems like they've improved everything. I don't have any cons about it as such, but I don't think they have a talk-to-text, speech-to-text, or speech-to-type. That would be cool for accessibility."
"Too many versions being released in a short time period. Too much time being devoted to migration planning."
"SharePoint sometimes cannot handle the amount of co-editing that we do."
