Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Microsoft, Google and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."I can check emails from anywhere, and use the applications wherever I am."
"Google Drive Enterprise is a good product, and it is easy to use."
"The solution is very easy to scale."
"The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise was simple."
"For me, the most valuable feature is basically saving and sharing documents with other people outside, having something to be co-shared. When documents are large in size, it is easier to send them via email."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Though I don't see a major difference between Google Drive Enterprise and other competitors, I find that the solution is easy to use. You just need to connect to it and upload files and give access to users who need access to the files. It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features."
"The solution secures the data well."
"I think it’s probably the best self-hosted file sync tool on the market."
"In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult."
"The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit."
"One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days."
"I also use Word from Microsoft Office. Sometimes it's difficult to find some features that are available in Office and not available in Google Docs or are in a different place (if you are more used to Word). We sometimes lose time trying to find certain useability features."
"The solution is kind of expensive."
"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."
"Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups. It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface."
"Google Drive Enterprise can improve by suggesting to me I have duplicate files or some kind of duplicate feature. If it can give that kind of advice, it would be a great feature on a drive storage capability. There has to be some kind of machine learning to analyze individual data and provide recommendations."
"Even with fast disks, it still takes a fair bit of time to write most schema changes to multi-GB tables."
