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.

Collaborative work has transformed team retrospectives and now saves us major planning time
I do not think that there is any improvement needed in Microsoft OneDrive for Business because a lot of features are already provided in the package that we have purchased, and we do not have anything that would be improved as of now. Speed-wise, Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very fast. Sometimes I think the auto-save feature of the things that we edit should also work in offline mode for some time, because once we get disconnected, I sometimes feel that the Excel or the Word document is trying to connect to Microsoft OneDrive for Business and trying to save it, but somehow the sessions expire. I sometimes want this to not happen. It can reconnect to the server when connection is up, but I can still work on the document.

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 was extremely easy to setup."
"We have the Microsoft Office 365 solution and OneDrive is one of the products included."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"The integration aspect is very impressive; I love that I can share and appreciate the whole aspect of the product."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very stable and very good."
"The best aspect of Microsoft OneDrive is that it automatically saves all work, so users never have to worry about anything disappearing, which prevents huge headaches."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"One of the things that I find to be challenging about Microsoft OneDrive for Business, specifically working with Windows eleven, is that it automatically tries to sync up accounts."
"The user interface of Microsoft OneDrive for Business could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"However, sometimes when we work on PowerPoint or large Word documents, there is a chance that the document gets rolled back to a previous version, and you lose your work."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an account, such as Microsoft Office account."
"I believe Microsoft OneDrive could be enhanced with a better user interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
