Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It helps you keep organized."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"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."
"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."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."
"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 can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"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."
"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."
"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."
"It's a very good solution."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"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."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."
"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."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
