Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • We love the fact that we can create documents that we can share with other community partners and know that it is safe and confidential if needed.
  • I love using Docs and being ensured that my work is not going anywhere. Being able to pop in and pick up on projects from home, on my phone, tablet etc is super nice.
  • Cons

  • I am concern about security and data breaches. If your data will be leaked or someone else gets access to your document, it will be a disaster.
  • Sometimes I feel some other party may have access to your files, or restricted access can be breached especially when you see more scary news.

  • Pros

  • You can have your own OwnCloud server on-premises. SSO authentication and Custom branding make a great integration with internal tools.
  • It's great to have your storage in house. The piece of mind that you know where your data is at all times is important, but also, nothing beats local for speed.
  • Cons

  • Technical ability is mostly required to setup and your system and to update. Auto update is a pain and mostly pushes one to manual process.
  • When first added, there were a few errors that I had to have my host sort, because I couldn't find any documentation on them for the OwnCloud.
