Time from creation to access is much better, as reports are immediately available upon generation
The usability, the ease of access, are among the most valuable features, as well as the improved functionality it gives us. Also, the solution's content interoperability for business systems and applications, as well as content, is very intuitive, highly user-friendly, and well received. Another important feature is that Mobius provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously. And I would highly endorse it as well for helping to provide secure access to information anytime and anywhere. That secure access is very important because of our content security requirements. I also rate it "high" for automating the governance of information while meeting global and regional data security privacy laws and regulations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"It provides a single pane of glass for delivering content from multiple repositories. It is also highly recommended because of the ease of use when it comes to searching and retrieving from multiple repositories simultaneously."
"This solution has improved our organization by providing a central repository for business data with control over sensitive data."
"Mobius excels in ensuring data security for captured content, which is crucial."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The ability to take Excel files and make them dynamic SharePoint lists with instant reporting capabilities has been a major benefit."
"SharePoint acts as a version control system, allowing easy recovery of past document versions."
"Document flows, storage, and numbering take off the actions for checking and assigning the numbering and running around with approvals and pre-approvals."
"For SharePoint, I believe the most valuable feature is the customization and allowing you to share and edit files and documents. Being able to share externally and the precise administration of the files in terms of giving permissions and controlling who has access to what is a very good feature."
"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."
"Its most valuable feature is the document library."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
 

Cons

"If it were up to me, I wouldn't use Mobius due to its lack of accessibility and outdated interface."
"The setup and the support could be improved when it comes to populating the reports from a mainframe environment."
"The primary area for improvement is the platform's accessibility."
"Sales and service need to be more consistent."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"The way to change the version of the files in SharePoint should be improved. The method of synchronizing files from local to the cloud can also use improvement."
"Document management and the ability to easily integrate single sign-on (SSO) are areas for improvement in SharePoint."
"The product does not perform 100% when used outside of a Microsoft based browser, Chrome, Firefox, etc."
"Replication needs improvement."
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"The limitations and boundaries must be extended."
"SharePoint designer workflows can be buggy sometimes without any apparent reason."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are commensurate with other solutions in the market that handle a distributed system environment."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The pricing works for us."
