Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"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."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"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."
"We can configure the solution with any industry's products per customer requirements."
"It's a very good solution."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"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."
"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."
"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."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"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."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
"The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."
"Pricing could be improved and the stability or the performance needs improvement, which is very important."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
