ONLYOFFICE Docs Developer Edition (250 connections)

ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise  serves as my corporate platform for collaborative editing of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. The solution is integrated into the internal storage environment and allows different teams to work on documents without depending on public cloud services. We also use it to replace part of Microsoft Office in departments that need collaboration on documents, enabling us to host these documents in our own infrastructure.

A quick and specific example of how collaborative editing has impacted the work of our teams is that it is a key feature since nowadays we have different employees in the departments, and it can happen that one employee starts developing an Excel spreadsheet in the finance department, while another member of the same team needs to access this spreadsheet to make edits, additions, and adjustments. This is essential nowadays.

The best features that ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise  offers me and my team are the creation and editing of spreadsheets, documents, and presentations, which is fundamentally what any office currently needs.

Regarding features, I consider the cost issue a significant differentiator since we have a relatively very low cost compared to other solutions such as Microsoft 365, and we do not need to spend such a high amount as what Microsoft offers.

ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise has positively impacted my organization, certainly on the cost side, and the users' adaptation was also relatively smooth. We did not experience major impacts on operations, meaning we did not have significant problems with installation, and the adaptation of users and the training required to use the tool effectively were all handled well. These were really good points.

I can share concrete results, such as that the users' adaptation time was an excellent factor, and we achieved cost reduction with Microsoft 365 licenses as well, allowing us to work with spreadsheets, documents, and presentations locally on users' machines. I see only advantages there; it has had a very positive impact on operations, with cost reduction, and the familiarity that users developed with this tool met our expectations.

One of the points for improvement for ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise needs to be more integrations with corporate solutions, as well as more advanced features in spreadsheets and documents because we are limited to some of the features it offers compared to other corporate solutions such as Office 365 . Better compatibility with Microsoft Office documents is also necessary, and I also believe that improvements in the usage reporting part are needed.

Regarding necessary improvements, I previously mentioned that perhaps the interface could bring more features, and there should be a real focus on increased functionality and integration with other types of documents, such as docx, ensuring greater compatibility as other players have.

I have been using ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise for more than two years.

ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise is indeed stable.

The scalability of ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise in my environment is very good. I have no problems regarding scalability; it is possible to increase resources, so it meets and can handle the growing number of users.

We previously used Microsoft 365 in some departments, and other departments used it as well. We are also conducting some early-stage tests with WPS  Office with licensing and have ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise deployed in other departments, assessing what will best meet our needs at the best possible cost.

We have indeed obtained return on investment, having experienced a significant reduction compared to Microsoft Office 365  and even other solutions such as WPS  Office, which also have somewhat high costs. With ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise, we were able to drastically reduce expenses, so I would say the only current costs we face are for training and the challenges related to compatibility with documents from Microsoft's Office suite. Overall, it is meeting our needs, and we are using it in some specific, strategic areas, generating results in cost reduction.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing has been great; we were able to complete this deployment without incurring associated costs since we are using it locally.

Before choosing ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise, I evaluated other options, including Microsoft Office 365, WPS Office, and Google Docs, but we wanted a local solution.

My advice for others considering using ONLYOFFICE Docs Enterprise is that if the objective is truly cost reduction or if it is a new company that is starting out and does not want to spend a lot of resources, I believe it is a very good solution. I would rate this review as a seven out of ten.
