Great document storing and easy to set up but needs to offer more collaboration capabilities
It should have collaboration features. For example, if I upload a document and I want the document which I upload to be discussed among my colleagues and peers, I should be able to share. I'd like for us to be collaborating, discussing the document, adding to the document, et cetera. I'd like it to be possible for teams to collaboratively create the document. Compliance or records management could be improved. For example, if I upload a document, a legal document such as a contract, when you onboard a new customer, you would like to have that contract document stored. At the same time, it should be logged. Once a document is approved and taken by printout and sent to the customer, it should be logged. It should not be allowed to be editable; you shouldn't be able to make changes to it. For records management, it should only be accessible to some people, not everyone. I would like to have records management features and compliance features where data could be hidden. Items such as personal data should be hidden or masked. I would like to have GDPR features added. We had some slight hiccups during the setup process.

Have faced some confusion with the interface but have managed collaboration and document sharing efficiently
We currently use Notion for project management and CRM, which includes document capabilities and task management features. We have a self-hosted solution and utilize Google Drive Enterprise for everyday tasks. We are customers of Google and integrate Google Drive Enterprise with third-party applications. The compliance requirements are met through the platform's features. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Google Drive Enterprise an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For the most part, the initial setup is easy. There's good documentation."
"DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process."
"It's a stable product."
"It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product."
"There's no real implementation necessary."
"I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices. It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time. I also like the versioning features."
"I like that you can easily create folders and sort things by sliding them in and out. I like the sliding option. It's quite nice."
"For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device."
"Even if you lose your laptop or device, your data will still be accessible on Google Drive Enterprise. Therefore, keeping your files on the tool is a safe option. You can access it from any device if you have a Gmail account. When you create a Gmail account, you automatically get access to free Google resources, including 15 GB of Google Drive Enterprise storage, which is shared across all Google products."
"The tool is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"It should have collaboration features."
"Its graphical user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product does not support certain formats."
"The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents."
"I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience."
"I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time."
"There are a few kinks to work out at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and extremely useful."
"I would like better security because I use Google Drive to store some personal documents, It would be nice if I could password protect some files."
"The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document."
"The tool must allow more customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the price may be considered slightly high, it is still reasonable within the context of other options available on the market."
"The licensing is yearly. We pay for the high-tier subscription."
"Storage is the only product offered and that makes it expensive to use."
"The program is very affordable."
"I am using the free version."
"I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups."
"Google Drive Enterprise is free for everyone to use."
"The product is free."
"That would be ideal if it were as cheap as possible."
