Kristen C
Financial Analyst
5.0

Kristin C.: Hi, my name is Kristin. I'm a senior financial analyst in the healthcare industry, and I rate SmartDocs for Microsoft Word a five out of five. Previously, we were using Microsoft 2016 and it just wasn't keeping up-to-date with the industry and everything else that we needed and all the options that it brought forward to switch. We choose SmartDocs for the ability to use it company-wide, that we can have it with a whole bunch of different people being able to log in from cloud and just being able to contribute to the same document. It was game changing for us. It was amazing. Onboarding and integrating this into our system, it was really simple. Our biggest challenge was just that our users didn't want to change, but then literally the next day they were like, "Why didn't we do this sooner?" So it was great. If you are considering SmartDocs, I would definitely say go for it. There's nothing to consider. It is absolutely amazing. Everyone can contribute, especially with how things are currently. You don't have to be in the same office and it is just amazing.

Michelle T
Paralegal
5.0

Speaker 1: My name is Michelle and I'm a paralegal owner at MTP Paralegal Services, and I would give OneDrive a five out of five. Before OneDrive, I was using iCloud, and I wasn't able to properly share it with my teammates, but on OneDrive I was able to... it's easier for me to share access with my teammates. Okay, I chose OneDrive because I was able to incorporate it into everything that I used, which included Excel, and also Word documents, and I was also able to save other files. It was quite easy to get OneDrive into the business, because everybody was already familiar with Microsoft, so it was an easy transition. My only advice would be to probably keep your password, if you're sharing it with different people, to have access to that, because sometimes it does sign out, and so when you're trying to access the file, sometimes you need to re-sign in. That would be my advice to anybody using it with other users.
