What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

Fully integrated with MS Office, and Windows, works out of the box.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Aims at making collaboration easier by allowing resources to be shared easily. I love the fact that several people can work on a document at the same time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Syncing does not always work in Windows 11, not always easy to share / collaborate with colleagues outside of our organisation because permissions seem to be randomly changed / revoked at times. Constantly changing / evolving, sometimes with what feels like little thought for how certain changes might affect end users. My pet dislike is that it makes a copy of everything before syncing / uploading. E.g. if you elect to sync your My Documents folder, it makes a complete copy of that first, then syncs the copy. It would be better to just sync the original, in my opinion.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a good product which comes with the backing of the Microsoft brand behind it. When rolling out, plan carefully to ensure a smooth implementation.
