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

"What I like most about this solution is the space feature that is used to store documents, and that I can store files to access whenever and wherever I want."
"The solution is good for sharing and I like the storage aspect, it's very helpful."
"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."
"I also use OneDrive, but I prefer Google Drive because it's available on many platforms and devices, so it gives a wide variety for backups, especially on Android systems."
"The solution's most valuable features are its performance and availability."
"Google Drive provides a guarantee that I can retrieve my data anytime."
"The collaboration aspects between teams and within team members are the most beneficial features."
"I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location."
"This product has improved the way our organization functions in the following manner: We are provided with policies and procedures for administration, we can store all the documentation related to all IT projects, and we have developed some workflows for automating licensing requests and other types of requests."
"Microsoft has a very good product."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very usable. I can navigate it, I can have a media call, I can have a call with my project team, so we can chat with every team kind of like WhatsApp. Any time there are projects or other things, we can chat in a secure way. It's automation-specific secure."
"I would recommend this product."
"The solution's most valuable aspects are its collaboration capabilities, its communications site and the innovation within the product itself."
"The solution is pretty easy to use for the most part."
"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."
"The implementation and configuring of the resolution are very easy in the online version."
 

Cons

"If somebody has made changes, for example, there should be a timestamp. Also, if two or three people are working and someone deletes something, a mechanism to retrieve the previous version should be available."
"Lacks scalability and security."
"They recently updated the email interface and I can't fit everything in one window."
"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."
"The product does not support certain formats."
"Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."
"The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users."
"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."
"One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost."
"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
"Workflows could be simplified."
"Making it more intuitive could help teams adopt it faster and use it more effectively by being more user-friendly."
"The Branding and User Interface Design and CK Editor should be improved, as well as the upgrade process."
"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

"There is a monthly fee that we pay for the use of this solution and the price is fair."
"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."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"The product is free."
"You need to pay an extra cost to use more space."
"It is inexpensive and the cost is per user per month."
"If you need extra storage for the product, then you need to make certain payments towards the product's licensing charges."
"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."
"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."
"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."
