Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use

I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.

Sharing information improves collaboration but search capability needs enhancement

Searching information internally in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server could be better because when we get a lot of information, it is difficult to find. There are other things that could be better, though I don't know specifically what besides search. Search is the main problem, but it could be better if we used software used by other people. Sometimes we have customers who don't use it, and that creates problems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution secures the data well."

"It is an easily scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The solution's most valuable features are its performance and availability."

"I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices. It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time. I also like the versioning features."

"The most valuable features of the solution are in areas like synchronization and backup."

"We can use the product to store large documents we cannot always carry."

"The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure."

"The solution is very user-friendly."

More Google Drive Enterprise pros

"Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a scalable solution because our applications are not staying in one place, year on year we are increasing users, so definitely it can scale with what we need."

"The solution's most valuable features is its document management. It allows sharing with external users and integrates well with Office apps and Microsoft Flow."

"It is a decent tool for collaboration, especially if you are already using other Office products."

"Ability to collaborate with others in one location."

"The level of stability is good."

"The implementation and configuring of the resolution are very easy in the online version."

"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."

"Document management and records management features are the most valuable."

More Microsoft Office SharePoint Server pros

Cons

"The Google Sheets should have more functionality."

"It would be helpful if there was a synchronization option that would allow me to synchronize folders or emails with my online repository. That way, any new items added to the folder would automatically be uploaded to the solution, without me having to manually upload them."

"Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents."

"The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit."

"It might be ideal if we could increase storage more easily, however, I don't have much visibility on that and have never had any issues."

"The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document."

"The vendor must increase awareness about the tool among the common people."

"Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable."

More Google Drive Enterprise cons

"It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture."

"Regarding the setup for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I have to rate it lower, maybe a seven out of 10, as it is a little bit more complex and not so easy to use in some use cases."

"The document management features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are not very good compared to OneDrive."

"Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself. More complex issues make it very tough to find someone that can help you."

"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."

"The search feature needs improvement. I can never find the information I need when I use it."

"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."

"The permission management features need improvement."

More Microsoft Office SharePoint Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is inexpensive and the cost is per user per month."

"Google is much cheaper than Microsoft."

"The price of Google Drive Enterprise is affordable and is one of its best features. I am on a monthly subscription."

"The product is not expensive."

"Google Drive is free."

"The costs could be lower, but they are reasonable for the value they provide."

"The product is available for free, so I don't need to pay for it."

"The solution has a subscription-based license."

More Google Drive Enterprise pricing and cost advice

"It can be expensive for on-premises deployments, especially when you have to support SQL Server as your backend database. That's where the cost comes into play. SQL Server has its own licensing, which Microsoft keeps on changing. Therefore, it can become costly. In the earlier versions of SharePoint, version 2007 or 2010, they had an express version where the SQL Server licensing was free. It wasn't like a full-blown SharePoint. It was only a slimmed-down version. It used to be whatever your hardware costs. You would install the free software and work with it, but you were very limited in what you could do in SharePoint. If you wanted the SharePoint Enterprise Server with all the bells and whistles, then you had to pay more to get the SQL Server license based on the number of users or servers. The subscription model is different for cloud deployments. Licensing is per user and per month. The cost also depends on the storage required. If you have a lot of sites or documents, then you need to expand it based on your needs."

"Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."

"One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost. With the on premise version, you pay for the license once. For the cloud version, there is a recurring fee. It is very expensive. They expect everyone to pay $20 or $30 per user per month."

"There are some aggressive discounts offered by Microsoft for organizations that are not for profit, which we are, and it makes it quite attractive to consider."
