Long-term data security and automatic saving features improve efficiency with smooth setup and deployment processes
Some of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are the ability to ensure automatic saving. I've been in IT for over thirty years and have seen plenty of times when people forgot to hit file save and lost data, and having this automatically saved constantly is a very nice feature set. The synchronization capabilities of Microsoft OneDrive for Business certainly support my work as it is handy if you're concerned about people writing data on their local PCs and the laptops getting stolen or crashing, to have it sync everything up to your Microsoft OneDrive for Business account so that you're not having to worry about backing up locally. You try to make sure that people are putting things in the right folder to ensure they'll get backed up. Before using Microsoft OneDrive for Business, we were actually storing things locally and had shared folders or home folders out on the network. They made the change to Microsoft OneDrive for Business because they wanted to put it out in the cloud and get better performance, automatic backups, and all the rest of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"Ability to share documents."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"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."
"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."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"The most valuable feature is that the documents are kept secure."
"It has the ability to categorize and search."
"It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions."
"The most valuable feature of Documentum for our content management needs is its ability to segregate access based on department and role."
"We like Documentum for its capacity and reliability."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"I recommend Documentum as it supports big systems and offers good integration."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
 

Cons

"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"One of the things that I find to be challenging about Microsoft OneDrive for Business, specifically working with Windows eleven, is that it automatically tries to sync up accounts."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"While generally secure, some noted security issues need consideration. The installation process for on-premise setup needs improvement as well."

"The interface of OpenText Documentum could be more intuitive; sometimes it is hard to find where the information is located."
"OpenText Documentum is moving to the cloud, and I am concerned about the security aspect of it."
"In BPM could be better. Its GUI needs the ability to build more rules. This is a crucial feature. For example, OpenText has some products that allow you to control your checks, invoices, and so on. They have exciting approaches to converting pictures to text, but the tool for business process management isn't easy to use. The GIU is not so good."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"I would like to see performance improvements, especially regarding slow response times."
"An area that needs to improve is how to reduce storage space on the AWS site."
