I believe the initial setup is complex because another team is handling the implementation.

The deployment took a week to complete and it was on a per-group basis.

The initial setup is a little clunky. I think it could be as simple as a lot of its peer programs where you log in and you see your folder breakdown. That is what it does, but there are several steps. Once you log in through the browser into OneDrive, you also have to initiate it on a local machine and then you have to go into the local machine to kick start the backup or download process in the settings. It just does not seem very intuitive.  

The time it takes to deploy in the scenario where you want to just use it as a backup for content is probably 10 to 20-minutes. That is just the time you spend paying attention to know what to do and configure it properly. As a first-time user, you will not know where to go. You are going to be clicking on a lot of things that are not going to point you in the right direction. Once you work with it a few times, you are looking at a 5 to 10-minute process to set up just to kickstart the backup process or download processes.

It is straightforward, but it still has room for improvement.

The integration is good, but the setup is not that easy. I had to train a lot of people on how to use OneDrive. It is not like Google Drive which is pretty straightforward. There are a lot of different features in OneDrive which are both good and bad. But one of the problems is that there are actually too many things in some ways. People do not always seem to know how to use it intuitively. Even though we have been using it for six or seven months in our company, there are still people who come to me with questions about how they can do things that are relatively simple. I would say it is 50/50. If you are tech-savvy, I guess it is a little easier. But for new users who have never used something like OneDrive and who are used to the ease-of-use of something like Google Drive, it is just different and there is a learning curve. I would give it a five-out-of-ten for the setup.

The setup is not too hard and once it is done you can access it almost anywhere. I like that if I am traveling and I am at another location I still have centralized access to everything. For example, if I am at my daughter's place and she has a desktop and I need to access something really fast, I can just go login on her computer, making sure I remove all traces of logging in.

The initial setup wasn't straightforward or complex. It was something in the middle. It had a moderate amount of difficulty.

In our organizations, deployment took about a month or so to complete.

The initial setup was very easy and straightforward. For the whole organization, it took about a week because it was done in stages. We couldn't move everybody at once, so it was done in stages.
