Are there any cons to using Document IDs?

[dschro1]

We are looking to use Document IDs where I work to make renaming/moving files/folders less painful. We've never activated this feature in our SharePoint, and wanted to know if there are any cons to doing so. From our perspective, it looks like a perfect tool! Is there a place that documents pros and cons, or are there experienced users that can share any negative unintended consequences with me before we get running with Document IDs in our organization?

I've not used this in quite a while but the only con I can think of you have to have it enabled on all site, else it won't follow with/Lose it's ID.

When moving the ID will follow, if copied or downloaded and uploaded it will get a new one if I remember correctly so That could be good to know :)

Also it can happen but rarely that it generate the same ID on two different site collection if you have the same prefix, I don't know it this is still an issue as last I saw it was 8-9 years ago :)
