An easy-to-setup solution with good scalability
We used the solution for storing digital assets Before implementing Acquia DAM, our organization had all its digital assets spread across various storage systems. We can now centralize all of them within a single infrastructure component, enabling easier discovery, versioning, and utilization of…

Structured cloud storage has streamlined document collaboration and automated workflows
The biggest friction point I have encountered with Box is mainly the pricing part; I think five dollars for this platform is not necessarily justified. While I have used it for integrating and using it as a cloud platform, I have not encountered any significant negative aspects. A few times, I might have faced performance issues, but I am uncertain whether that was due to the automation platform or Box itself. Overall, the only thing I could mention is that it can take a little time to understand how the integration works with Box; setup and figuring out what can and cannot be done might take some time, but other than that, I do not think anything else bothered me. One thing I would want Box to introduce to improve the platform and make it stand out even more would be incorporating AI. For example, the only way to identify documents shared in Box currently is by their names, and if those names are not precise, I can get confused. If Box had an AI feature to summarize and identify documents based on their contents, it would significantly enhance usability. AI is essential for making work easier, so that would be an excellent addition to the platform.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"It is a stable solution."

"Customer Service: Great! Technical Support: Technical support people really know their stuff, Great service."

Cons

"There could be better web documentation for the solution."
"I would like to see features for online collaboration between team members in the future, to open and see who is accessing the document now and see my movements across the document or the file we are sharing together."
"I would like to see the below additional features: Disposition features, record management and retention policies in this application."
"The waterfall methodology for folders does not allow for privatization of folders at the root level, which sometimes may be necessary."
