Find out what your peers are saying about Box, DocuWare, Hyland and others in Document Management Software."Using M-Files means anybody on the executive team to go in and immediately look at a dashboard and know the status of a contract."
"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 simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"It helps you keep organized."
"The integration with other products needs to be improved."
"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."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
