The solution is scalable.
Director of the IT at Jagiellonian University
Microsoft has provided the extended version of SharePoint alongside Microsoft OneDrive for Business.
Technology Analyst at Infosys
It should be increased for the free version users, making it more reachable to many people.
System administrator at BNY Mellon
There is not enough documentation about scaling, which makes it difficult to enhance or modify environments without significant effort.
Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.3
Microsoft OneDrive for Business is stable and secure, but issues with migrations and searches affect user experience.
Sentiment score
7.0
OpenText Content Management is stable but needs enhancements in alerting and performance, with improvements noted in newer versions.
As a certified Microsoft product, it maintains high security standards.
Student at a media company with 501-1,000 employees
On a scale from one to ten, it rates as a nine in stability.
Consulting Manager at Angkor Group SAC
I would rate the stability of Microsoft OneDrive for Business an eight out of ten as it has improved significantly since I started using it from the very initial days of Skydrive.
The product is quite stable if it is well-managed.
Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft OneDrive for Business needs improved syncing, usability, AI integration, support, and pricing to enhance user satisfaction.
OpenText Content Management needs feature enhancements, better integration, improved performance, and more robust support and AI capabilities.
If the asset owner can get some analytics of things, or a dashboard which is more top-level or high-level in terms of asset downloads and if there is a more collaborative platform in terms of engagement, more similar to Notion, would be nice for Microsoft OneDrive for Business suite of products.
Product Manager For Marketing And Strategy at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I have experience with multiple version controls, including Git, TFS (Team Foundation Server), and GitHub.
Student at a media company with 501-1,000 employees
Microsoft OneDrive for Business currently lacks AI integration for management and collaboration, which is an area of interest for me.
The expectation from the customer versus the product explanation needs alignment.
Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Another important aspect is the improvement of the artificial intelligence already embedded in OpenText Content Management solution.

Setup Cost

Microsoft OneDrive for Business is viewed as cost-effective, with opinions on pricing varying based on integration and individual needs.
OpenText Content Management is costly and complex, but offers comprehensive solutions, potentially deterring medium-sized businesses despite its strengths.
Sometimes without the offers, the pricing of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is a little high.
Manager at tcs
If you compare it to an archiving solution and you are using content management only for archiving, the cost of the license may seem too high, as you are paying for a license that not only includes archiving but also controls the full life cycle of information, connects with SAP and Salesforce, features a native connection with Office 365, and supports parallel editing.
Director Consulting SAP OpenText en Entelgy at DCL Consultores EIM SL
The cost is a significant factor that may deter medium-sized businesses from using OpenText extended ECM.
Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft OneDrive for Business enhances productivity with cloud storage, seamless integration, real-time collaboration, easy sharing, and extensive synchronization.
OpenText Content Management integrates with major apps, enhancing productivity with security, automation, and robust search features for efficient document handling.
I appreciate the feature in SharePoint where it's difficult to permanently delete a file, as you can always recover files very easily.
Executive Director at Universidade Federal de Campina Grande
Another benefit is that you can share information across multiple devices, not just on one device.
Consulting Manager at Angkor Group SAC
Sometimes when we work on PowerPoint or large Word documents, there is a chance that the document gets rolled back to a previous version, and you lose your work.
Principal Engineer at Oliver Wyman
The seamless integration between SAP and OpenText offers a 360-degree view of documents, facilitating a full-text search capability.
Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application.

PramodChaudharyDarwha - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at tcs
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.
Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer

Has provided deep integration with business applications and supported full content lifecycle management
OpenText Content Management has a feature that is unique in the market, which is the deep integration with leading applications, allowing reflection of the connections between different processes and objects in applications such as SAP, SuccessFactors, or Salesforce, visible inside the document management application. Without connecting to the leading application, for example SAP, you can navigate between all documentation, having a full 360-degree view of all information related to the process. This means that when you create some action regarding an object that has a connected document in the content management system, you can automatically see additional information connected, managed and controlled by the leading application, with automatic reflection in the document management system. This is a unique advantage that OpenText Content Management has, which is not found in the market. Another unique feature is the integration with Office 365, where you can work with different folders or binders in the document management system and connect to Teams in a simple way, making all this information available in the Teams you are working with. Digital Asset Management is a big part of the content management solution within OpenText Content Management, allowing full integration of all documentation, pictures, plans, and technical documentation if you have asset management inside SAP. It connects similarly to other modules of SAP but includes a special feature for asset management from a technical point of view and connects with the engineering department, providing the full life cycle from development through deployment to maintenance. This means you have the full life cycle from the beginning when you define the solution, construct it, and finally transfer it to maintenance to keep all information updated easily, avoiding risks and ensuring access to accurate information at the right moment.
