All-Round Fantastic Product For Enterprises
Pros and Cons
  • "The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
  • "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."

What is most valuable?

The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. 

You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful.

What needs improvement?

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 account, such as Microsoft 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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for three to four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

How are customer service and support?

I do not have direct experience with Microsoft technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've used Google Drive before but just for personal use, not for corporate use.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very easy and straightforward. For the whole organization, it took about a week because it was done in stages. We couldn't move everybody at once, so it was done in stages.

What other advice do I have?

I would definitely recommend Microsoft OneDrive, especially if you are an enterprise. The support is fantastic, and it's something that they've been doing for years. 

It's an all-round fantastic product, especially if you are an organization that is based on Microsoft stage products. So it's just an extension of whatever you are doing, like everything syncs.

I would rate Microsoft OneDrive an eight out of ten. It's been a very useful tool for work and personal use.

Easy to use and it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365
Pros and Cons
  • "It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
  • "The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."

What is most valuable?

It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365.

What needs improvement?

I think it's quite easy to use. It's quite complete because I use Google Drive as well, but I think the simple feature is it's similar to Google Drive, except I think it's just integrated to the rest of the Office 365 suite.

The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I think both stability and scalability are quite good. We don't have any specific issues with the stability. It's never gone down on us.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. 

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend it. The integration with Office 365 makes it much easier for anybody to add the capabilities of file storage. For example, if you are sending a very big file into OneDrive, you don't have to send it as an attachment. I think that's quite useful. Everything is quite automated, so you don't really have to worry.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud
