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

"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"Ability to share documents."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"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 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 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."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"It has reduced the amount of paper documents; reducing time and errors in the process."
"The product is tamper-proof and enables us to return to the document source, which is helpful in legal issues."
"We primarily use it for storing documents. We host a variety of documents in OpenText Documentum. This includes raw files, analyzed files, and documents in multiple formats."
"OpenText Documentum is a robust choice for enterprise-level document management."
"It provides possibilities for us to save documents and supporting the business process while doing so."
"OpenText Documentum's composition is good. It is convenient and straight out of the box."
"The storage of metadata content, workflows, and life cycles are the most valuable features of OpenText Documentum."
"The most impactful thing is the size, which is almost 25 TB."
 

Cons

"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"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 think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"The vertical application could be improved."
"OpenText Documentum needs to improve its support."
"One area for improvement in OpenText Documentum is its handling of outdated documents, especially technical ones."
"It should provide more tools to help clients upgrade solutions based on Webtop."
"The product needs to improve the way documents are logged together. I believe running it on the cloud or containerization will bring value to it. The tool's Time to Market and deployment cycle need to be improved. Finding suitable training materials for OpenText Documentum is also a bottleneck. If we can find the training modules easily, we can bring together people, give them quick training, and start working on the deployment. It can help with quick outputs."
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
"It can be somewhat cumbersome for the operations team since it’s not a cloud instance"
"The price is quite high as the licensing prices are significant."
