Microsoft OneDrive vs OpenText Extended ECM comparison

"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."

"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."

"It was extremely easy to setup."

"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."

"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."

"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."

"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."

"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."

"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."

"The version controls and the business workspace part integrate well with SAP and OpenText, providing granular level control over who accesses the workspace."

"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."

"The seamless integration between SAP and OpenText offers a 360-degree view of documents, facilitating a full-text search capability."

"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."

"Being able to search is valuable. Its search is pretty powerful. We are able to search for specific text, and it points us to the document that has that text. That is pretty powerful."

"WebReports has a lot of capabilities that offer good opportunities to customize the applications the way we want to."

"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."

"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."

"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."

"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."

"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."

"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."

"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."

"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."

"There are no additional features that I would like to see. I am pretty happy with it, but their support could be a bit better."

"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."

"The solution needs to improve the user interface."

"I have not used it enough to start running into issues. Some of my technical guys could name a couple of things, but in terms of support, we did have challenges getting good responses from them."

"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."

"User interface needs improvement (at least in the version we are using, desktop client)."

"Initially there can be stability issues due to unknown factors such as usage of the system, quantity of documents ingested, load during peak hours."

"When it comes to addressing complex use cases, three or four years ago, we ended up purchasing an additional OpenText product called AppWorks because we started to run into some limitations with the workflow that can be done in Extended ECM. It was a little limiting, so we ended up getting another product."

"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."

"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."

"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."

"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."

"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."

"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."

"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."

"The solution is expensive."

"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."

"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"

"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."

"The product is pricey."

"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."

"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."

"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."
