AshwinMor - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use
I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.

Daniel Giacomelli - PeerSpot reviewer
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 store data and share it with people."
"For any file you want to collaborate on with colleagues or external people, like clients, it can be done in real-time. That's the most interesting feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share files."
"Compared to other solutions such as Microsoft, this solution offers faster synchronization."
"We can use the product to store large documents we cannot always carry."
"It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document."
"Record your meeting and simply share with anyone without thinking where to store the file."
"The most valuable feature of Google Drive is its seamless integration across mobile devices and computers."
More Google Drive Enterprise pros
"The forms aspect of the solution, for example, the creation of surveys, is its most valuable aspect."
"Microsoft Office SharePoint Server's document management significantly improves collaboration within my organization."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are its collaboration capabilities, its communications site and the innovation within the product itself."
"The most valuable features for us are their document management list and hybrid forms. and We also use third party ad-dons to achieve workflows and other recent apps."
"Document management and records management features are the most valuable."
"The software is friendly to use for mixing data and analyzing it."
"What I appreciate most about Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is how it centralizes information and collaboration in one place."
More Microsoft Office SharePoint Server pros
 

Cons

"Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."
"The product lacks in the area of documentation."
"The tool must provide more storage capacity."
"The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents."
"The price could be better. Google should rethink and realign its pricing strategy along with the storage prices because storage prices are going down for on-premise solutions. If they can reduce the cost or increase the storage capacity for that same tier, that would be a great advantage."
"The product does not support certain formats."
"The conversion of Microsoft Office documents into Google documents could be improved."
"I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience."
More Google Drive Enterprise cons
"I would rate my experience with Microsoft technical support as sometimes frustrating because of the time it takes for the Microsoft team to react to their particular case."
"The solution needs to enable better sharing capabilities between users and external users. Several users also have problems with linking their emails to their Microsoft account."
"I would like to see the integration with Teams reinforced."
"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
"It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture."
"Making it more intuitive could help teams adopt it faster and use it more effectively by being more user-friendly."
"The user interface needs improvement because there is a lot of stuff in there. I use five to eight navigation buttons. It should be more user-friendly. Frequently used menu items should be arranged in a proper way. That would be helpful."
"Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself. More complex issues make it very tough to find someone that can help you."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the free version."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution."
"You don't need to pay if it is within your storage limits. If you need more, you can have a corporate license. I don't know the pricing, but there is a corporate license. The extra costs would only be if you exceed these free limits."
"I pay for the additional storage. Otherwise, it's free as a basic plan, 15 GB."
"I use the free version of the product."
"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."
"It is inexpensive and the cost is per user per month."
"The licensing is yearly. We pay for the high-tier subscription."
More Google Drive Enterprise pricing and cost advice
"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."
"Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."
"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."
"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."
