Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it across the organization, it solves the problem of having to saving things on the server and not being able to access it remotely.

Pros and Cons

Easy to use
Assimilate with Office 365 seamlessly
Quick Download & Upload
The ability to access information everywhere with WiFi and/or Data connections.

Downloadable app on other platforms i.e. Mac OS.
Reassurance of better security especially when accessing through Public Network.

Return on Investment

The ability to promote telecommute.
OneDrive makes it easy to have remote meetings even if it's just across sites.

I think OneDrive and Dropbox are very compatible, however Dropbox has the advantage of being out in the market earlier. There is also a perception that OneDrive is not compatible across devices especially since Dropbox has apps across different platforms. Lastly there is also a perception that OneDrive is meant for "business" purposes only.

Support Rating

Since it's a Microsoft Product, I've never had any issues with Microsoft support. Although my experience with OneDrive has been mainly positive so there was not a lot of need to contact customer support. The system has been very user friendly and mostly intuitive.

Likelihood to Recommend

For an organization who is trying to move away from heavy reliance on day-to-day data being housed on the server, this would be a perfect application.

If you are an organization who deals with more sensitive information i.e. HIPAA specific, it may not be the best application as there will be more monitoring of users, pw protection, etc.
