A safe and easy online repository with a nice web interface for file management
Pros and Cons
  • "The ability to simultaneously edit files is really useful."
  • "The product’s document management and automation features are very limited."

What is our primary use case?

Google Drive is a safe and easy online repository with a nice web interface for file management. It has some extra benefits over a network folder because it has automatic version control and collaboration features.

How has it helped my organization?

If we have a bunch of users with Microsoft Word documents or Excel files, it's not always easy to collaborate on a single file together. If we put it in Google Drive, we can all access it simultaneously and make edits and changes. We can put tags on the files and do a little bit of automation with the basic enterprise version, which is nice. They help to find things that are related to projects.

What is most valuable?

The ability to simultaneously edit files is really useful. Automatic version control is also valuable. I have never seen a security problem on Google Docs. It is easy to access. Security is built into the tool. We don't have to worry about it so much. I haven't integrated Google Drive, but it's easy to access from other applications like Jira and Confluence. The product is really easy to understand and use.

What needs improvement?

The web interface is a pain to access compared to the Windows application. However, the Windows application doesn't have any of the advanced features of the web interface, like tagging and SafeSearch. The Windows application should have the same features as the web application. The integration of Google Drive with other things could probably be better. The product’s document management and automation features are very limited. If you're a big organization, it will become a big mess very quickly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool’s stability is almost perfect. I've only had a problem once.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The tool’s scalability seems unlimited. I've never had a problem with it. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We have 6000 users. In my previous organization, we had 50,000 users. The solution is used every day.

How was the initial setup?

I have deployed it at a university before. It took less than a week to deploy after we got the basic training.

What was our ROI?

The ROI is extremely good because we don't have to worry about backups, and the security is very high.

What other advice do I have?

I've never had any issues to complain about, and I don't do the administration. I don't have any experience with support. It's a great replacement for your network drive. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
