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.

asc at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Interconnectedness of tools boosts workflow efficiency but can improve on speed for larger files
One of the best features of Microsoft 365 Business is the interconnectivity; if I'm making a chart in Excel, I can paste it as a link on a PowerPoint. If there are any changes in the Excel data, when I update the link, that automatically gets changed in the PowerPoint. The interconnectedness with Excel and PowerPoint is a good feature. Using Teams helps our team's productivity because rather than having to make a proper chart again, if I am reviewing someone else's work and I find a mistake, I'll just do it in Excel and it automatically gets updated in the PPT. In Microsoft Teams, we can communicate with other team members by pinging them. We don't need to call and say what needs to be done. We can just share a screenshot, and we can share our files as well. Microsoft 365 Business has positively impacted our business because it's not a choice; it's something we need to comply with. It has become an industry standard, and the client always expects us to work with this kind of tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."
"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"SharePoint and emailing are two technologies that are very widely used by all employees."
"The stability and reliability are great."
"The solution is scalable."
"Sharing screens, even on mobile devices, is great."
"Everything gets integrated. Different services that they provide are well integrated into the entire system, which is the biggest strength of Microsoft products. Everything works together. If I create a Microsoft Teams theme, I get a SharePoint site and planner. Everything, including permissions, is scoped, which is really nice."
"There is a lot of documentation available that is easy to comprehend and follow."
"My favorite feature is the collaboration."
"One of the most valuable features is this solution makes a lot of tasks easier, such as storing files and the maintenance of your infrastructure. additionally, the solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"They could maintain the consistency of features and UI while updating the product."
"Data protection needs to be improved."
"Microsoft needs to enhance its part in service management. I believe they have a product called Orchestrator, it does not get the same benefits and functionality as the rest of the solutions such as Dynamics or Office 365. They can improve by providing more integration with other solutions to cover the full business spectrum of needs, this would be a great benefit."
"In a future release, I would like to see what more Microsoft can do in terms of integration with other solutions."
"The latest update has got a lot of bugs and it is causing us problems."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered a free version. Currently, there are only paid options available."
"Microsoft 365 Business could improve by having better integration with other platforms."
"The user interface could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"It is expensive, and its price can be better."
"The price of the subscription for the solution could be less expensive."
"This is an expensive product because it is subscription-based, which is always more expensive than a perpetual license."
"Pricing can vary a lot due to fluctuations in exchange rates and that is not favorable for planning."
"The product is expensive."
"Microsoft 365 Business could be cheaper."
"If you go with Microsoft, they will give you 80 GB in advance and all those kinds of features. They will also keep asking you to go from E1 to E2, E2 to E3, and now E5. Their prices are high, but as long as the organization is happy to pay and your emails are working seamlessly, it shouldn't be an issue."
"Its price is what you would expect today from a software-as-a-service offering. It is somewhere around $10 per user per month."
