Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use
I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.

I love the backup capabilities and the offline sync
We use OneDrive to share documents throughout the organization and collaborate. It is also used for backups.  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 takes too long for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product."
"Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The performance of this solution is fast because it is hosted by Google."
"I can store data and share it with people."
"Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology."
"The product helps us to collaborate with team members. You can control the share and access feature. It is also user-friendly. The solution's security features are decent and reliable. Its APIs are good."
"The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise was very straightforward with no issues at all."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"It helps you keep organized."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."
"Ability to share documents."
 

Cons

"The tool's AI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license."
"The product lacks customization."
"It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added."
"The solution should be more user-friendly so that people get used to it."
"The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"There are still many restrictions on what the solution can do on the GenAI front, and much work needs to be done there."
"The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document."
"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."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"I use the free version of the product."
"The licensing is yearly. We pay for the high-tier subscription."
"Google is much cheaper than Microsoft."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The product is not expensive."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
