Senior Software Engineer at socure

Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing

I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

Price and reliability need improvement while general tasks are streamlined

The pricing for Microsoft 365 is too high, and quality-wise, it does not meet high standards. The operating system is outdated and inadequate. Microsoft has very poor security, and Defender is ineffective. In terms of collaboration and file sharing, OneDrive is very clunky and has frequent sync issues. It also crashes a lot and is unreliable.

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

"It is stable and easy to use."

"Everything that you need is included inside."

"The best feature of the solution is its flexibility."

"What I like is that Office 365 is nicely integrated with our email application Outlook. We also don't have to worry about updates. They are free, and they just happen automatically."

"Ease of collaboration and sharing documents."

"Microsoft 365 Business is easy to use, everything is clear, it has good support, and it integrates well with other solutions."

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."

"There should be more alignment between Windows solutions, mobile solutions, and web solutions."

"The security features and the engine they are using are not good enough. They are not able to protect you from phishing attacks, which is the biggest drawback of this solution. We have been getting phishing emails, and I have been chasing Microsoft every single day. In terms of configuration, all the controls that they have recommended are in place, but we are still getting a lot of phishing emails. I would like to see a feature that allows us to share a folder from an online archive, which is a sort of mailbox attached to the primary mailbox. Currently, you can share folders, contacts, and calendars only in the primary mailbox. You can't share any folder or other things from the online archive. The limit of the primary mailbox is 50 GB, whereas the online archive is unlimited, so it would be useful if we can share a folder from the online archive."

"They can improve its price and make the way of sharing documents more secure."

"Microsoft Teams can be improved. It is a bit taxing on resources and is resource-heavy on the devices. When you install it on a PC, it uses a lot of memory. They should look for a better price model for educational institutions, and it should be free. We are also using Google Suite, which is free for educational institutions. They charge business people, not nonprofit institutions."

"The dashboard can be made more user-friendly."

"I would like to see more integration options."

"It could be flexible in terms of working with other cloud-based solutions."

"I would like to see a connection between their planner board, and a project for the web would be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"The price of the subscription for the solution could be less expensive."

"There is a subscription needed for this solution."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"They offer corporate subscriptions for the platform. We have to renew it yearly."

"I think that the price is fair."

"They are always a bit pricey. They should reduce their prices or make it free because we already have other solutions, like Google Suite, which are cheaper or free."

"The implementation is company-wide and is already very flexible price-wise."

"Microsoft 365 Business could be cheaper."
