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

"DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process."
"For the most part, the initial setup is easy. There's good documentation."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share files."
"Low maintenance solution."
"The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good."
"It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features."
"The solution is absolutely stable."
"Compared to other solutions such as Microsoft, this solution offers faster synchronization."
"It's very convenient for me. I used to work in a corporate setting with shared servers and workspaces."
"The largest advantage of Google Drive Enterprise is the integration with other applications, it integrates very well."
 

Cons

"Its graphical user interface could be more user-friendly."
"It should have collaboration features."
"Google can add a personalized dashboard that would give insights into the files that I have."
"Lacks scalability and security."
"The product lacks scalability and I feel it could be more secure."
"The product lacks in the area of documentation."
"The product’s document management and automation features are very limited."
"It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small."
"The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive. This feature should be added. For example, if I have only one single mail ID and I'm using it in a different location to upload different data, this is the challenge. It is happening from one system or one server. The synchronization of data from the local system to Google Drive will not happen if the IDs are the same. If I'm using it for different systems in different locations, synchronization is not happening. The system hets logged out. This feature is very important for us and they need to add it."
"Once you move off of the free version and go to the enterprise solution, it can get quite pricey."
 

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 costs could be lower, but they are reasonable for the value they provide."
"The program is very affordable."
"The product is available for free."
"That would be ideal if it were as cheap as possible."
"Storage is the only product offered and that makes it expensive to use."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution."
"I use the free version."
