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."
"It is definitely user-friendly, and I like the flexibility."
"Its interface looks clean, and its performance seems quite fast. It is faster than our previous app."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"It's available online as well as via desktop applications when deployed in the cloud."
"The solution is scalable."
"Valuable features are video conferencing, email, and Office suite."
"Microsoft 365 Business is user-friendly, easy to use, compatible with different devices, such as laptops and phones, and helps me get my job done."
"Since most of our employees are familiar with Microsoft solutions Microsoft 365 Business is very easy to use for everyone."
 

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The price could be better."
"From the perspective of a developer, the interface could be more user-friendly. It is quite difficult to use."
"The tool should improve its interface."
"Microsoft 365 Business should be made more of an open-source solution that would be accessible without any cost."
"In terms of what could be improved, they are continuously developing it, but sometimes not necessarily in a good direction. There are changes happening every three months so you actually have to learn some tools again. I'll give you an example. Teams used to be really good and now, I have a feeling that they hired developers from Skype Business because it's actually not very good."
"It's a little hard to use. It could also be cheaper."
"At least a basic collaboration tool or project management tool should be included in the solution for the price we pay."
"Microsoft 365 could be less expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The price is high."
"It could be cheaper. It's cloud-based, and we pay a yearly subscription."
"The monthly license of the solution is quite expensive."
"There would be licensing costs because Microsoft 365 Business requires a product key and a license to be present in order to use its products."
"The implementation is company-wide and is already very flexible price-wise."
"Microsoft 365 Business is an expensive solution."
"The price is fine."
"There is a licensing cost, but considering the features that it's equipped with, it's not that expensive."
