### "Collaboration and impact" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *23 October 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to co-author documents in real time allows for a fluid exchange of ideas and feedback across teams, whether it's brainstorming with designers, collecting input from product managers, or aligning on findings with marketing. Comments, suggestions, and edits are instant, keeping everyone aligned without the need to spend time on sharing context over email or Slack.
> 
> **Cons**: It’s easy to lose track of where certain files are, especially when several people are uploading and sharing assets some in personal vs shared drive. I'd like to see improved search and organisational features i.e suggesting locations to save or find docs based on similar content/contributors.
> 
> It’s a productivity hub that has transformed how I collaborate as a Design Researcher. Its seamless integration across tools, ease of use, and powerful collaboration features make it essential for anyone working across multiple functions to drive impactful, data-driven decisions.
