Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"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."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"The ability to add metadata and use that to categorize information is a valuable feature of OpenText Extended ECM."
"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."
"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."
"OpenText Extended ECM's most valuable features include permissions and security models. I also like the tool's ability to add metadata and use it to categorize information."
"We also have a module on top of the Content Server called WebReports that has been one of the things that helped us facilitate the workflow and give managers good reporting and visibility into where everything is. Being able to use that on top of the Content Server was a big help."
"Scalability is great. We can extend areas horizontally and vertically."
"The solution's automatic document numbering, state management, and process flow are very useful features to go through the full cycle of the document."
"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."
"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."
