Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing
I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

Have faced some confusion with the interface but have managed collaboration and document sharing efficiently
We currently use Notion for project management and CRM, which includes document capabilities and task management features. We have a self-hosted solution and utilize Google Drive Enterprise for everyday tasks. We are customers of Google and integrate Google Drive Enterprise with third-party applications. The compliance requirements are met through the platform's features. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Google Drive Enterprise an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."
"It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document."
"Compared to other solutions such as Microsoft, this solution offers faster synchronization."
"Google Drive is always up when I need it, so I don't have any complaints."
"The service gives me the confidence of knowing that I have a backup copy of all my data and it can be accessed at any time."
"Google autosaves your work, which means you won't lose things."
"I used DropBox in the past, but I switched to Google Drive because it's more convenient."
"Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer."
"The solution's most valuable features are its performance and availability."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"I also use Word from Microsoft Office. Sometimes it's difficult to find some features that are available in Office and not available in Google Docs or are in a different place (if you are more used to Word). We sometimes lose time trying to find certain useability features."
"When compared to Commvault or Veeam, I'm not sure what Google Drive has to offer in terms of backing up data on the cloud or in a data center for a large organization."
"The product’s document management and automation features are very limited."
"Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users."
"Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure."
"The service could be improved if it could do more customization, because the model inside is pre-defined and there is no customization."
"Google Drive Enterprise can improve by suggesting to me I have duplicate files or some kind of duplicate feature."
"The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution. If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups."
"The costs could be lower, but they are reasonable for the value they provide."
"Storage is the only product offered and that makes it expensive to use."
"The product is not expensive."
"If you need extra storage for the product, then you need to make certain payments towards the product's licensing charges."
"I am using the free version."
"I use the free version."
