Find out what your peers are saying about Dropbox, Box, Microsoft and others in Content Collaboration Platforms."It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"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."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"Ability to share documents."
"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."
"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."
"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."
"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."
"The integration of a document management platform with many other applications, e.g. SAP, SuccessFactors, Salesforce, SharePoint, etc."
"It's a very good solution."
"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."
"Being able to tag metadata on documents and being able to have different workspaces in there for our documents is valuable. We do loan documents, and different types of documents have different types of retentions. We are able to categorize based on that, and we are able to do tag searching to find what we are looking for."
"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"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."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."
"The solution's performance, stability, and consistency could be improved."
"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."
"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."
"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."
"The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."
"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."
"We had some issues with scalability in the production. So, I would rate it a five out of ten."
