IBM FileNet vs Microsoft OneDrive comparison

"Everybody ties into Active Directory and things like that, but on top of that are the extra layers of security for encryption, so they can meet standards required by PCI and by HIPAA: encryption at rest, encryption in flight, encryption in the database, all together. There are really only three products on the market that know how to do that, and FileNet is one of them."

"Provides records management functions."

"IBM FileNet supports our document management and compliance processes."

"The usability is really good. Our business users are pleased with it. They seem to get what they are looking for, and it's very efficient."

"It allows for multiple people to access content simultaneously."

"It is used by large enterprises. It has to be scalable and robust for them to use. We have seen that on multiple projects over the years."

"The API's extensibility and new user interface are its most valuable features."

"The most useful feature is its persistent storage. Also, the full-text search and attribute searching are valuable."

"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."

"It helps you keep organized."

"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."

"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."

"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."

"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."

"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."

"It was extremely easy to setup."

"We know that they're looking at documents, but we don't know what documents they're actually going and finding the most, or where the bottlenecks might be. It would be nice if there was some interconnectivity back into Bluemix to say, "Ok, you've got a workflow problem here." That would be a neat feature moving forward because we've got a lot of users that would just say, "The system is not working." We had a few threads would get hung up because they were just constantly banging on these few documents. If that were the case, if we knew that ahead of time, then we could fix that, change the search sequences to make it more efficient. But we were blind to that until the users said it's not working."

"​I would like to see the dashboard be a little bit more robust and a little more user-friendly"

"Our client feels FileNet does not provide them with content searchability. They feel it's cumbersome. They're only using Metadata. If the Metadata is not well-populated, it becomes a problem to retrieve a document."

"I know it took them seven months to convert, so the initial setup was, probably to some degree, complex."

"​I would like to see Azure AD added."

"The only downside is that it takes a dedicated staff to maintain it and the learning curve is pretty steep."

"The new software and trends with the cloud solution is a little slow. I would like them to move toward more cloud-based and microservices rather than a SaaS model. This is where the industry is going and what customers are asking for."

"A little better control into the ACLs of FileNet and databases."

"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."

"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."

"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."

"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."

"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."

"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."

"My customers have seen ROI. There have been productivity gains, time savings gains, and things that they have been doing much more efficiently in a more modern way than they were before."

"FileNet is quite expensive, although Documentum is expensive too."

"The licensing cost of FileNet is comparable."

"The tool is expensive, and I rate its pricing a ten out of ten."

"For small scale industries, they allow different options. They can do open source. It is the complexity of the data security that they should think about before they choose."

"IBM FileNet is an expensive solution."

"The solution saves time and money. It helps us to be able to accomplish the goals of our business, as opposed to being tangled in the weeds of what we could do."

"FileNet is not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for. ​"

"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."

"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."

"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."

"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."

"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."

"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
