Find out what your peers are saying about Box, DocuWare, Hyland and others in Document Management Software."Using M-Files means anybody on the executive team to go in and immediately look at a dashboard and know the status of a contract."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"The integration with other products needs to be improved."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
