Overall Satisfaction with OneDrive

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have started using it by departments, with the intention of using it for the whole organization. It's currently addressing issues with on-premise server space. This will lower our overall cost and allow the end user to reach their files from any device and more reliably.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Large amount of space to save data
Allowing the end user share and maintain their files for easier access to others
Available to sync across all devices

Cons

Saving photos and PDFs
Searching for files
Uploading could be a bit easier

Return on Investment

We have saved money in updating our old servers which store all of data
Users have more flexibility in handing their own files. Saving us time.
We reduced our in-house backups

Alternatives Considered

Dropbox for Business

Dropbox was great. But overall it didn't fix our needs and we wanted to stick with one platform. Cost was another factor. We were able to do more with onedrive and installation was also easy to do.

Other Software Used

TeamViewer, Oracle VM VirtualBox, Skype for Business

Likelihood to Recommend

One of the best things about using onedrive is the end user being able to share a document with an outside vendor when needed. Saving time in sending emails back and forth. One excellent feature is that It keeps track of all the changes by all. You also have the availability to roll back. Since backups are done, this can save you time. You can also download a copy to your desktop to work on should you lose your internet connection; allowing you to continue to work on the project and later when uploading the current version.
