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.

Has transformed how I manage documents through metadata and automation while enabling structured collaboration
Microsoft should restore some functionalities from older versions of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2003 and 2010. Specifically, bringing back something similar to SharePoint Designer would be beneficial. SharePoint Designer was both advantageous and challenging - developers found it limiting and preferred Visual Studio, while non-developers struggled to use it effectively. A new tool for configuring webpage design and development for content pages would be valuable. The current system is too basic. While integration of filtered lists and libraries is possible, it requires knowledge of Python or jQuery. A WYSIWYG editor would be preferable to requiring programming knowledge or Visual Studio.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can easily access my data and see my videos on Google Drive."
"The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good."
"It helped us to keep all our documents centrally also allow us to work on documents simultaneously."
"Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer."
"The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me."
"Google Drive Enterprise is a good product, and it is easy to use."
"Provides a secure backup to my data."
"The collaboration aspects between teams and within team members are the most beneficial features."
"Some of the best features with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are that it is easy to use, security is easy, and it's all integrated into the university's security systems."
"I would recommend this product."
"Microsoft Office SharePoint Server's document management significantly improves collaboration within my organization."
"This solution has provided us with a collaborative workspace to allow everyone to work together and be on the same page."
"The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a main feature of Microsoft, and I use it for everything I share inside the organization and outside the organization; it's easy to use, easy to share, and easy to manage all SharePoint services."
"Using these features together, we converted our paper work to electronic digital data."
"The best features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are the integration between SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, and email."
"It is a decent tool for collaboration, especially if you are already using other Office products."
 

Cons

"Google Drive Enterprise could improve the integrations. We do not use the tool very much for our corporate desktops. Additionally, Google collects a lot of personal data from the customers which is not very good and this is one of the reasons we do not use it for our corporation."
"The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit."
"I'm never sure if the problem is with Google Drive or my browser. Sometimes, it takes a long time loading, but I'm not sure we should blame Google Drive."
"Considering things like speech recognition or enhanced benefits in Google Cloud could be worth exploring for a better experience."
"The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive."
"It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added."
"The service could be improved if it could do more customization, because the model inside is pre-defined and there is no customization."
"If you have different accounts, you have to log out and log in to access the accounts."
"I think these tools do a pretty good job. There is only one area of improvement. Maybe Microsoft can invest a little bit more into the ease at which integration can be done with other third party applications."
"Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself."
"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
"This solution is not very stable. It is useful to arrange data but it's not the best for big data. Sometimes we have issues with our reports as a result."
"The user interface needs improvement because there is a lot of stuff in there."
"The solution needs to enable better sharing capabilities between users and external users."
"Many of our customers would like to see an OCR feature, so it would be very good to have this in a future release."
"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is free."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution."
"The price could be better."
"I use the free version."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Google Drive's price is lower than competitors. I have two accounts, including one with Apple that I use to manage some pictures and contact. I use Apple Cloud for only this purpose. I use Google Drive for everything else. Compared to Google, the price of Dropbox is high and the solution isn't good."
"The solution has a subscription-based license."
"I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups."
"There are some aggressive discounts offered by Microsoft for organizations that are not for profit, which we are, and it makes it quite attractive to consider."
"It can be expensive for on-premises deployments, especially when you have to support SQL Server as your backend database. That's where the cost comes into play. SQL Server has its own licensing, which Microsoft keeps on changing. Therefore, it can become costly. In the earlier versions of SharePoint, version 2007 or 2010, they had an express version where the SQL Server licensing was free. It wasn't like a full-blown SharePoint. It was only a slimmed-down version. It used to be whatever your hardware costs. You would install the free software and work with it, but you were very limited in what you could do in SharePoint. If you wanted the SharePoint Enterprise Server with all the bells and whistles, then you had to pay more to get the SQL Server license based on the number of users or servers. The subscription model is different for cloud deployments. Licensing is per user and per month. The cost also depends on the storage required. If you have a lot of sites or documents, then you need to expand it based on your needs."
"One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost. With the on premise version, you pay for the license once. For the cloud version, there is a recurring fee. It is very expensive. They expect everyone to pay $20 or $30 per user per month."
"Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."
