We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ability to share documents.""It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily.""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.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it.""It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365.""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 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.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."

More Microsoft OneDrive Cons →

"It needs a better UI and it should also be cloud-ready. The UI has not changed in years.""OpenText Documentum has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of adding some AI integrations.""It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop.""OpenText Documentum's user interface could be improved a little bit.""The user interface can be a bit more intuitive.""Sometimes DocBroker cannot see the DocBase.""Documentum is a very robust system. Everything can be improved, but at this time, I do not have anything in particular. If anything, they can put our software in their standard.""It's difficult to manage and customize Documentum."
