Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
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.

Digital documentation has boosted team efficiency and provides secure remote manual access
The best feature is the mobile access to SharePoint. It is incredibly valuable for our technicians to view wiring diagrams and manuals directly on their tablets while working under a vehicle. It removes the need to walk back to the office, saving about 20 minutes per job. Additionally, the data security features give me peace of mind; even if a tablet is broken in the shop, our business data remains safe in the cloud.

"Business 365 is very scalable and easy to use. I need to explore the features more, but I'm more or less happy with the features we are using right now."

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"I would like to see a connection between their planner board, and a project for the web would be better."
"It should be a bit more user-friendly. It should be less click to get to what you need. this would help people use it more efficiently."
"I would prefer to use Microsoft Outlook rather than Office 365 because of the way features are available in Outlook. There are times it becomes difficult to get to certain features through Office 365. For example, if you want to recall an email that you have accidentally send across to someone this is not very easily available through Office 365. The shortcuts available through Outlook are not there in Office 365 Business."
"I feel that the user interface can be better when it comes to file sharing."
"However, people might think it's unstable if it hasn't been set up correctly. If the IT team hasn't configured it right, then you'll have a hard time using the product itself."
"They should have a consolidated app, rather than have different applications with a different app."
"The cost is a bit high."
"More integration with Cortana would be helpful."

"We pay a monthly subscription fee for the license."
"It is not so expensive."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. Its price could be better."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are interconnected. There are different levels of licensing."
"The base price is reasonable, but when it comes to the specialized tools for servers, the cost can become quite high."

"The organization is responsible for the license."
"There is a monthly subscription for the use of this solution."
