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.

Collaborative work has transformed team retrospectives and now saves us major planning time
I do not think that there is any improvement needed in Microsoft OneDrive for Business because a lot of features are already provided in the package that we have purchased, and we do not have anything that would be improved as of now. Speed-wise, Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very fast. Sometimes I think the auto-save feature of the things that we edit should also work in offline mode for some time, because once we get disconnected, I sometimes feel that the Excel or the Word document is trying to connect to Microsoft OneDrive for Business and trying to save it, but somehow the sessions expire. I sometimes want this to not happen. It can reconnect to the server when connection is up, but I can still work on the document.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For content sharing, it provides automation features that can be customized according to needs, which are some of the best features that I appreciate."
"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"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."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"I recommend Microsoft OneDrive to others because everyone in my office uses it, the Microsoft products are in my environment, we use Microsoft, and all my customers use Microsoft, many people use Microsoft, and it is a universal tool, which is what other options may lack."
"This product helps me a lot, together with latest version of Office 365, to collaborate a little bit more instead of sending huge attachments via email to 10 colleagues etc."
"The integration with Office 365 makes it much easier for anybody to add the capabilities of file storage."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that it is included in the standard Office 365 subscription at no additional cost, unlike other drives such as Google Drive."
"Some of the best features I appreciate most about Microsoft OneDrive are the simplicity to map different kinds of SharePoint files that are stored in the cloud."
 

Cons

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"For Microsoft OneDrive for Business, something which would really be helpful is something which would help with Outlook email automation."
"The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files."
"Sometimes I think the auto-save feature of the things that we edit should also work in offline mode for some time, because once we get disconnected, I sometimes feel that the Excel or the Word document is trying to connect to Microsoft OneDrive for Business and trying to save it, but somehow the sessions expire."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an account, such as Microsoft Office account."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
