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."
"The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure."
"The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet is the most valuable."
"The largest advantage of Google Drive Enterprise is the integration with other applications, it integrates very well."
"The ease of user sharing information among people in the organization is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We can use the product to store large documents we cannot always carry."
"It's easy to use."
"The product helps us to collaborate with team members. You can control the share and access feature. It is also user-friendly. The solution's security features are decent and reliable. Its APIs are good."
"Google is great when people save documents and work on them together."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit."
"The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive."
"If somebody has made changes, for example, there should be a timestamp. Also, if two or three people are working and someone deletes something, a mechanism to retrieve the previous version should be available."
"The free tier of storage is limited."
"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."
"It might be ideal if we could increase storage more easily, however, I don't have much visibility on that and have never had any issues."
"A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with."
"I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The product is available for free, so I don't need to pay for it."
"It has a yearly license."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"Google Drive's price is lower than competitors. I have two accounts, including one with Apple that I use to manage some pictures and contact. I use Apple Cloud for only this purpose. I use Google Drive for everything else. Compared to Google, the price of Dropbox is high and the solution isn't good."
"The solution has a subscription-based license."
"Storage is the only product offered and that makes it expensive to use."
"The licensing is yearly. We pay for the high-tier subscription."
"Google is much cheaper than Microsoft."
