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 is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"The integration between all Microsoft products is a key advantage to OneDrive."
"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."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
 

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"The maintenance required for Microsoft OneDrive for Business is okay, but I find it resource-intensive and not very user-friendly."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"If you are using it strictly for your local machines — as a sole backup — it is not a good idea."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"The solution can be complex to deal with at times."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business has been a solid platform, but sometimes when dealing with larger files or folders, synchronization is not as perfect or as real-time as it could be."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"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."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
