Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It was extremely easy to setup."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"Ability to share documents."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"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."
"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."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"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."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"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."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"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."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"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."
"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."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
"The solution needs to improve the user interface."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."
"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
