Naresh Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers great reliability to users
Protection is an area in the product where improvements are required. If big companies want to use the tool for protection purposes, like security, which is a big thing people are looking for nowadays. Sometimes, the tool's user interface automatically puts all the files in a different place, making it a bit difficult to go deep and figure out in which folder a file is present. I need to search for a file and drill down to be able to find it. There are a few bugs in the tool, as with all content management tools, since the solution is usually used to deal with huge amounts of content. If the flow of the documents is huge, the tool might get slow for the end users, or when the data is being migrated or imported into the tools.

Useful for businesses to archive their information
I don't use the tool directly. Based on what my team says, from one to ten, if one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the product's initial setup phase as a nine. A technical person took care of the product's installation phase. The solution is deployed on the private and public clouds. The tool is majorly deployed on a private cloud. I use the cloud services from Microsoft Azure. The solution can be deployed in a period of two years. For deployment in the infrastructure, we had five people who are infrastructure specialists. About twenty people needed development, and the team consisted of analysts and specialists. For infrastructure, there were five people as specialists for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Though we use too much of Azure, OCI is the biggest product for our company. Azure is managed by a medium number of people. There are five people to take care of the clouds.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is flexible and simple to use."
"It's very practical and reliable."
"There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use."
"It's a stable enough solution."
"It's easy to use."
"It is seamlessly integrated with your Android. There’s no fuss, no hassle."
"The most valuable features are the ease and accessibility of information."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."
"The technical support for the solution was very nice."
"It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"We use it mostly in the cloud. It is stable, requires high availability, and works with large datasets seamlessly."
"The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use."
"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features."
 

Cons

"Google Cloud Storage could improve the integrations in a way Microsoft Azure is going about it. For Data Lake integrations, Microsoft Azure has a bunch of native pipelines available. All Google needs to do is add the same set or maybe even improve on the sets that they have. All the analytics, including the Data Lake, would then be able to sit in Google Cloud Storage."
"Having more storage space would be an improvement."
"Its security should be better from the data security point of view. It should be more secure, and it should get tightly integrated with products such as Google Docs and Google Sheets. Microsoft covers different kinds of tools such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel."
"Could be improved from a storage perspective and a cost perspective."
"The solution must provide some accessibility features."
"Google Cloud Storage could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Office files. When I open a Google document I would like it to be able to be opened with Microsoft. You can already open Google documents in Microsoft Office."
"They need more enhancements in the security features."
"Sometimes, I'm not too fond of privacy policies, especially when using certain features like Gemini AI, where agreeing to the terms might mean losing access to your history. One area for improvement is document retrieval—sometimes, it's hard to find documents because the file names aren't always recognizable, and the preview feature could be more efficient. Maintenance for Google Cloud Storage is minimal, but it would be helpful to have a tool that automatically removes duplicate versions of files to save space. The file management in Google Cloud and Workspace isn't very straightforward, which could be improved."
"The product can be difficult to use compared to how it is marketed. Technical support also lacks a timely response."
"Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity."
"Cost-wise, it is not an affordable tool if you allocate space, and try to use it some other day."
"The usability and real-time capabilities could be enhanced."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security."
"The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In general, it's fairly priced."
"The solution is free."
"Approximately 800 to 1,000 USD is paid towards the licensing costs of the solution. The solution is neither expensive nor cheap, meaning it is moderately priced. There are no extra costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution."
"The product pricing is reasonable."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The tool is not expensive."
"Its price is fine."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a nine to ten out of ten."
"During the billing cycle, if I use the tool only for a day, I still need to pay you for a month."
"Oracle Cloud Object Storage might not be that expensive compared to on-premises solutions."
"We have a yearly subscription for the product."
"Disaster recovery (DR) can be expensive."
