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.

Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Collaborating securely across project teams has improved communication and streamlined workflows
In my view, Microsoft 365 Business has all the features, but there are some areas for improvement. One area is that the licensing structure can be confusing, especially with the different plans, so understanding each plan is somewhat difficult. When using large Excel files, such as extracting data from an SQL query and pasting it into Excel, it sometimes encounters performance issues when dealing with large files. Integration with non-Microsoft tools is sometimes limited; however, integration within the Microsoft tools is very good. It would be useful if it were possible to integrate with other tools outside of Microsoft. Managing permissions and access in SharePoint and Teams can be complex for new users, but once they become familiar with the tool, they can manage it easily. The security and permissions for new users in SharePoint and Teams can be made more intuitive for them. Additionally, the pricing structure, which involves explaining different plans, could be clearer to help users easily choose the plan they need. Improving performance when working on large Excel files would also be beneficial.

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

"The initial setup process is easy and fully web-based."
"The storage portion of the solution is very good. It has a very large capacity."
"The feature I find most valuable is Business 365's real-time edit and updates. You can share files, and it will automatically create the link for you."

"In my opinion, the best features of Microsoft 365 Business give me access to everything I need: Word, Outlook, Excel, and all of it."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."

"Office 365 could be more secure."
"The customization after the initial setup can take a while."
"It would be nice if we had the option to open a document even if it was created with another application."
"The OneDrive part could be more user-friendly, because many people want to use it."
"Microsoft Teams for Mac isn't good enough just yet. It's an aspect of the solution they can still work on."
"The security section of the solution is also something that is of great concern, especially now that a lot of people are doing work from home."
"The pricing can be reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"We pay annually for the license."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"It has a subscription-based model, so we need to procure as many licenses as required as part of an enterprise agreement. It is a little bit expensive. It is definitely a bit more expensive than other solutions that are on-premises. It is also expensive as compared to the cloud-based solutions from other companies. However, when we look at the ease of use of the product and the adoption by the users, its cost can definitely be considered as comparable to other products. The features that we get in this solution are not available in solutions from its competitors."
"I find the pricing of Microsoft 365 Business to be reasonable."
"Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."
"The solution requires a license which is expensive."
"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."
"It is quite expensive."
