Pros
"It was extremely easy to setup.""They have support for integration with a lot of tools.""It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere.""Ability to share documents.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription.""With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues.""Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product.""It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."

"An advantage is integration with your IP directory.""The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management.""It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn.""We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan.""The product can be integrated with different solutions.""I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."

Cons
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice.""I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program.""An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it.""The initial setup is a bit clunky.""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.""There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files.""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.""Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."

More Microsoft OneDrive Cons →

"The ease of use should be addressed.""OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier.""Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find.""The product could improve its scalability.""Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution.""The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made."
