Great document storing and easy to set up but needs to offer more collaboration capabilities
It should have collaboration features. For example, if I upload a document and I want the document which I upload to be discussed among my colleagues and peers, I should be able to share. I'd like for us to be collaborating, discussing the document, adding to the document, et cetera. I'd like it to be possible for teams to collaboratively create the document. Compliance or records management could be improved. For example, if I upload a document, a legal document such as a contract, when you onboard a new customer, you would like to have that contract document stored. At the same time, it should be logged. Once a document is approved and taken by printout and sent to the customer, it should be logged. It should not be allowed to be editable; you shouldn't be able to make changes to it. For records management, it should only be accessible to some people, not everyone. I would like to have records management features and compliance features where data could be hidden. Items such as personal data should be hidden or masked. I would like to have GDPR features added. We had some slight hiccups during the setup process.

Have faced some confusion with the interface but have managed collaboration and document sharing efficiently
We currently use Notion for project management and CRM, which includes document capabilities and task management features. We have a self-hosted solution and utilize Google Drive Enterprise for everyday tasks. We are customers of Google and integrate Google Drive Enterprise with third-party applications. The compliance requirements are met through the platform's features. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Google Drive Enterprise an 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For the most part, the initial setup is easy. There's good documentation."
"DocuWare allows for easy document management and workflow automation, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and streamlining the approval process."
"This solution has become an enhanced product over the years, it is more stable and they keep adding features, and we are happy with it."
"Some of the most useful features of Google Drive Enterprise is the ability to store my data and share it."
"I like that you can easily create folders and sort things by sliding them in and out. I like the sliding option. It's quite nice."
"The integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Google Meet is the most valuable."
"The solution's most valuable features are its flexibility and accessibility."
"I can store data and share it with people."
"The solution is good, it does everything one needs, it is cloud-based, sufficiently secure, user-friendly, and I have not faced any problems in which I feel something to be missing."
"The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good."
 

Cons

"Its graphical user interface could be more user-friendly."
"It should have collaboration features."
"The free storage amount should improve in Google Drive Enterprise. They only provide a small amount of storage."
"Also, some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced. It is meant to be a replacement to Excel, but it really is not there yet as a product with equal capabilities as there are still quite a few limitations to the functionality."
"The ability to share documents with outside clients can be improved. It is difficult to share documents with outside clients, and that's why I am looking at some other solution. If you use Google Drive, they want you to use all of their Google Suite, but not everybody uses Google Suite for document creation. It is not a great solution if you are working with a company that doesn't use Google Suite."
"The product lacks in the area of documentation."
"Google Drive Enterprise is expensive. Google Sheets APIs need improvement."
"The product lacks scalability and I feel it could be more secure."
"Google still has a learning curve you need to get over."
"Security is the only area where there are certain shortcomings in the product where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the price may be considered slightly high, it is still reasonable within the context of other options available on the market."
"The costs could be lower, but they are reasonable for the value they provide."
"I am using the free version."
"Google Drive's price is lower than competitors. I have two accounts, including one with Apple that I use to manage some pictures and contact. I use Apple Cloud for only this purpose. I use Google Drive for everything else. Compared to Google, the price of Dropbox is high and the solution isn't good."
"Google Drive Enterprise is free for everyone to use."
"You don't need to pay if it is within your storage limits. If you need more, you can have a corporate license. I don't know the pricing, but there is a corporate license. The extra costs would only be if you exceed these free limits."
"The price could be better."
"That would be ideal if it were as cheap as possible."
"The price of Google Drive Enterprise is affordable and is one of its best features. I am on a monthly subscription."
