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.

System Engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Collaboration has transformed how our teams work and Copilot now drives faster daily decisions

The interface for the security and compliance center could be simplified. It changes frequently, which can make it somewhat difficult for admins to stay up-to-date on where specific settings are located. The compliance center modification or improvement of Office 365 needs to be introduced. The rest of the features feel acceptable to me. The reason it is not a ten is because of the complexity of managing the vast array of admin settings, which requires a specialized IT team. Even though it meets industry standards for decent security compliance such as SOC and HIPAA, the complexity of managing the admin settings needs to improve.

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."

"Microsoft focuses on the customer GUI side, which makes it easy for customers to understand the product, and I recommend it because of the GUI and human interface, which allows customers to set it up without needing technical people."

"Office 365 allows me to access documents and work on them much quicker, and I find it beneficial as it includes Outlook, which improves my workflow efficiency."

"The most valuable feature of Office 365 consists of the features that I prefer about this solution."

"It's nice that it's an all-in-one solution and everything is all in one place."

"For me, the most valuable features in Office 365 are the integration between all of the various apps and how you can still communicate even without third-party apps."

"We use it for documentation management, to collaborate with Microsoft Teams, web calls, web conference calls, chats, and as a documentation repository mainly. We have an Office pack suite to be able to write documentation, make spreadsheets, and create PowerPoints."

Cons

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

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

"Office 365 could allow for smoother collaboration with other companies, which is the main reason we use it. The B2B connection is something we need, like global adverse lists between two tenants or multiple users. That's what we're missing at the moment."

"Office 365 can be improved by increasing support, which currently is not efficient and takes a lot of time to resolve issues."

"Normally, they have a way to work with specific developments, and I think they shouldn't allow the partners to make some changes they have made. When I have a client with a lot of changes, we have a problem with that because there aren't rules to develop inside the ERP, so you can do anything."

"Sometimes the synchronization between the desktop and online is a little bit slow."

"It could be more user-friendly for inexperienced people."

"There was a problem with the owner of a Team; although it was listed as an owner, he couldn't do whatever an owner can do."

"Using Office 365 is not that flexible on some mobile devices, like Android."

"The feature to convert PDF file to a Word document needs improvement as well as the feature to save the file automatically when typing, without using the save command."

More Office 365 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"I would rate the solution 3 out of 5 for the price. I think Microsoft presents a good solution concerning the price."

"Most of the time, we purchase Microsoft Exchange licenses, which are less expensive and provide only an email platform and 50 gigabytes of email storage for free."

"I think that we pay $9.99 USD per user, monthly."

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, or we prepay them."

"We have a license to use this solution. We have an E3 license which covers many different solutions."

"The pricing is not really high, but one can get the software with the license key for free."

"The pricing is good for all the features that we receive, e.g., Skype for Business."

"Licensing, billing, and accounting are available from the management interface."
