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.

Owner at Nexus Auto system
Digital documentation has boosted team efficiency and provides secure remote manual access
The best feature is the mobile access to SharePoint. It is incredibly valuable for our technicians to view wiring diagrams and manuals directly on their tablets while working under a vehicle. It removes the need to walk back to the office, saving about 20 minutes per job. Additionally, the data security features give me peace of mind; even if a tablet is broken in the shop, our business data remains safe in the cloud.

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 user interface is good and it is very easy to use."
"The integration with all of the combinations of tools has been problem-free so far."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution has been stable over the years."
"Valuable features are video conferencing, email, and Office suite."
"The interaction between different products is most valuable. I use Excel, Mail, Teams, and PowerPoint, not really much else."
"It is a standard and powerful tool. Because it is a standard tool, everybody uses it."
"In terms of user experience, it is very easy to use and flexible. It is more interactive as compared to the other tools that we have. Its features are more useful than other software solutions."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"Areas that need improvement are pricing, stability, and scalability."
"I would like to see more integration options."
"It would be ideal if there were fewer features. I'd like it better if it had a watered-down version where you didn't have to have all of this extra stuff included."
"Microsoft 365 Business could improve by being more secure."
"Occasionally, it does go down, however, for the most part, it's fine."
"Technical support could be better."
"Lacks ability to deploy on more than two devices per license."
"Excel hangs many times, especially when we have equations. Excel is very heavy on the hardware, and it needs powerful hardware. I hope they can enhance the performance of Excel. Other products are working well, except for Excel."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"It is probably not cheap, but you can't really compare it with anything else."
"The monthly license of the solution is quite expensive."
"It is not so expensive."
"The License is on a yearly basis."
"I have one of the business licenses, and then I have a few of the lower-cost ones at six bucks a month. We're a small organization of half a dozen people."
"It's pretty difficult to make a cost estimation, in cases where we need additional features."
"They are always a bit pricey. They should reduce their prices or make it free because we already have other solutions, like Google Suite, which are cheaper or free."
"Its price is what you would expect today from a software-as-a-service offering. It is somewhere around $10 per user per month."
